Batuu is just canonically inaccurate!
Clearly someone didn’t do their research because what I’ve heard of the world coming in JTB is nothing like the actual Batuu! Firstly, the planet is a jungle world, humid and temperate and scarred ...

No, not necessarily. The rest of the game is not. If accuracy and perfect realism is high on your list then The Sims 4 is not your game. It requires a sense of humor and a laid back attitude to be enjoyed.
I manage to enjoy it with an immature sense of humor and a high-strung attitude, does that count? ?

@Nindigo No but it's a sandbox game which makes restrictions on weather just not align with what the Sims stands for.
It stands for play your story your way. How will I play my story of living in snowy Batuu when you can't live there or have snow?
You know what people mean now?
And we're not taking about high realism here. Just weather in a world. It's not much.
Well, we can easily agree that The Sims 4 is far more a 'play it our way' game than a 'play it your way' game. But that is describing the whole of TS4 in its entirety. And because of that, there is no reason, really, to expect a GP to be any or much different. Is there? I would not expect it, at least.
I think this is a good point, actually. I do find that I am able to tell the stories I want to tell (for the most part), but admittedly that does often take a fair bit of imagination on my part, which is in a way unfortunate.
I do wish that it was a "play it your way" kind of game, but lately that's been harder and harder. You're absolutely right; we really shouldn't have expected more. (And I hope that doesn't sound snotty -- it's more like...I'm coming to terms with it lol.)
Yeah... You may be right...but that don't means I gotta likes it... *disgruntled gremlin pouting*
To stay on topic I'll add -- canonically accurate or not, I do wish that there was an option for weather on Batuu. I think it'd look really pretty in the snow and rain~ Especially the Resistance Encampment in the rain! It'd be gorgeous, I bet. Hopefully the modders will step in to make it possible for those who want it ?

Isn’t this, appearance-wise, supposed to be copying the Galaxy’s Edge area of the Disney park?
Yes, and it seems to do that exactly. I thought people knew that?
Yes, that was what I thought, too. Perhaps the lore is different in the Galaxy’s Edge versión of Batuu? I’ll have to look this up. (I love going to Disney theme parks, but my family and I have not visited Galaxy’s Edge yet.)
I'm dying to go to Galaxy's Edge! Once the pandemic issue is settled and vaccinated and under control, I totally plan to take a trip there!
We should go together! Disneyland!!
Oh can I come, can I come? I hope it doesn’t rain when we get there! ☂️
The more the merrier!
I'd bring that umbrella though. Not because of rain, but holy mynocks, it's hot as blazes out there right now. You can keep the sun off that way. :D Even "wintertime" can be pretty darn warm and sunny (and I live north of L.A. and we don't have nearly as bad up here)
In spite of my whinging, please toss my metaphorical hat into the ring! I'm dyin' to make a real-deal lightsaber now... Savi's Workshop looks absolutely amazing ?
