Constant Rain

You can temporarily turn off rain in the game settings if it's gets too annoying. I know some worlds get more rain than others so you could also try moving your sims to a different world and see if it rains less. I've played in both San Myshuno and Magnolia Promenade and it hasn't rained much at all.

I noticed this too. I know we can turn off storms and rain, but I want rain. Just not every day. It's frustrating because I also have pets - who want walks, but my sims won't go outside in storms and it seems to be constantly storming or raining so they get the uncomfortable wet or scared moodlets or run inside. So my poor dogs can't get walked lol. I wish there was a 'frequency' setting or something, to have it enabled but less often or something.

Sorry, but no. In real life, it does not rain every single day.

But what's the point of spending $43.29 on an EP if you have to disable it?

It rained almost every day in Magnolia Promenade during my first summer, but I'm on my second "year" and it's evened out now. A few days of rain and then a few days of sunshine is where I'm at now.

There is weather controll machine, which can help you clear the sky and change seasons, once upgraded. On side note, try going out more with your sims and visit different worlds. Will change the scenary and imporove the gameplay in general.

I personally don't mind the rain; try hanging out in a different world instead, like Oasis Springs. I presume that it never rains there, if not very rarely.

It depends where you are.

No, it doesn't. Are you seriously asserting Willow Creek is based on Meghalaya? I mean, seriously? That's the story you are going to stick to?

I think the rain and thunderstorms are tuned too high in all the worlds except Oasis Springs. There it's tuned too low. So it rains and thunderstorms constantly everywhere else, but Oasis springs it never does which is weird. It makes some of the worlds just unplayable. I hope a mod fixes this eventually or the team because it's ridiculous how BB will thuderstorm and rain so often you can't even enjoy any summer activities at all. I live in a place that does get pretty chill summers with rain (PNW) and we don't even get that much rain. Thunderstorms happen only a few times in Summer. Yet BB has them constantly. It's just too much.

So I purchased the Seasons EP yesterday, started new game, set starting season to Fall (when asked), went to Options and set season length to 4 weeks (so I would have time to explore all that each season has to offer).

I'm on Sim day 22 now, and every single day it has rained. It even rains when it's sunny!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :/ :o Now, to be clear, it's not constantly raining, but at some point during the day or night it will rain.

Is this a bug or a feature?


P.S. No mods.

Time to build an Ark.

Seriously though -
Try "repair game" in the Origin screen, or (if that doesn't work) try clearing out your cache files. Delete the file -

localthumbcache.package (located in: The Sims 4 folder)

NOTE: it may take a little while longer for your game to load, since it will need to regenerate a new batch of cache files.

Cache files sometimes get corrupted and need to be replaced with fresh new ones.
