Hail included too, right?

That's funny you would say this, but in my Sim games I seriously never encountered a natural death... Not by hailing, nit by satellite or meteor hitting, not by electric shock etc. It seems like in my Sims games the death rate is way too low... I actually have to always download mods that higher the chances for everything... Including abductions...

In which game can sims die from hail? I never. Knew that to be possible

Nope no hail this time around :(

Thank goodness. I detest when they put hail in the Sims. I keep it shut off in sims 3. In real life I see animals and small kids get hurt - including two of my own kids and our puppy once - with hail and just refuse to have it in the games I play. Not always do you get warning for hail in real life, so your little kids (mine were 3 and 4 years old and our puppy was just 3 months old) are out playing in their back yard and suddenly start getting stoned by hail. Left my kids and puppy scared to death of the back yard for the longest time.

In sims 4 where toggles don't work I was hoping there would be no hail in this game seeing we couldn't shut it off like Sims 3 had it. So I'm thrilled if it isn't in the game. If it is my sims kids and pets are never going off their porches.

Lightening I actually have no issues with seeing thunder warns people to get inside well before lightening usually strikes. So I actually like thunder and lightening - it's just hail I despise.

The Sims 2, and I think 3 as well...

Interesting. I had random deaths out the wazoo. And don't even get me started on the abductions. If my sim even looked at a space rock in Sims 3 those aliens were going to start coming every. single. night. I didn't even mouse over them for fear of the little green men.

As I implied before, this addresses one of my chief concerns about the pack. The frequency and lethality of hail during the summer months was a nuisance to me. First, I know of no place on Earth that receives 50% of it's summer month precipitation in the form of hail. Secondly, the hail rains death upon sims, making outdoor plans during the summer a risky endeavor. I wanted to see either the probability of hail drastically reduced or eliminated entirely. They went with total elimination. Fine by me.

This pack is giving me a lot of what I am wanting. Things are looking up.

Wow your game was pure evil. I usually get hail like once a sims year.

It hailed with great frequency in The Sims 2, and even more so in The Sims 3. I am pleased to see it go.

Wow, I never even knew sims could die of hail in 2 and I played for years! I don't even think I ever saw hail. But I did have some Sims killed by lightning. One was even struck twice in the same place in his outdoor hot tub, lol.

Ahh. Good times.

With only one trailer and just one week since the announcement (which in itself seemed sudden after months of no news), I am not sure if they ever confirmed or denied hail. I doubt we know everything yet as there is will a pretty big EA Play event coming up and the live streaming, so they probably don't want to spoil everything just yet and so that people will keep wanting to know more. We will probably start learning more as it gets closer to time.

We can only hope.

Hail has been confirmed as not in by a guru on twitter.

People who say they glad there's no hail and don't want it shows just how selfish some people are in the Sims community, who only care about themselves, as if the development should revolve around what they want only!

Ah.. and proclaiming that people who don't want hail should be up in arms demanding it (instead of other features they may want) is completely selfless, I take it? ;)

No but saying I'm glad hail isn't included because I don't like it while you know there are people who want it badly is selfish
Picture it this way: I honestly couldn't careless about minors features other than weather in Seasons (like calender) but I know alot of people want them so I'm glad they have them in-game for them..
See the difference? Someone is selfish here because he only wants to see in game what he likes only :)

I'm glad I got features I want and not the features you want!
Wait that doesn't sound selfish at all..my bad
