Seasons has been released for more than a year now... and the developers still haven't addressed this problem. It's literally impossible to view the forecasts in other worlds without visiting them beforehand. Honestly, this becomes rather annoying. Mostly because it makes the gameplay feel very unrealistic... in reality, you're allowed to check the weather forecast in another part of the world without having to visit there first. My main issue with this is how difficult it is to plan parties and events in other worlds without actually traveling to them for a minute or two just to see what the weather is... just to go back home afterwards. So, does anyone know if there's been a mod created that allows us to view the weather forecasts in other worlds WITHOUT having to visit them?

I've asked this in the past, and the answer was no, but saying that there are mods that do allow a player to actually control the weather. Since we just recently had a patch I would suggest waiting to make sure any don't need to be updated before adding to your game. If you are asking because of the festival involving the Geek festival, EA said in the most recent patch update that they addressed this issue so it wouldn't rain during this festival.

I know this might sound so stubborn, but I still wanna make sure the gameplay remains as is, which means I don't wanna personally control the weather in the worlds. I just really want to have a way of knowing the weather in each world without visiting them... :disappointed: Thanks, though! Also, no, I wasn't specifically referring to festivals or anything. I just meant in general because the inability to check the weather beforehand just makes things very complicated when I wanna plan events and stuff like that.

So far no, I really wished that EA had actually given us the ability to see what the current weather is in any of the towns in the game they have.

I just don't understand why they overlooked this... :neutral:

OR on the phone. I too would like to be able to know if spending the day at the beach is going to be ruined by monsoons. More time than I like I take my sims on a day trip and it's raining or a freezing blizzard when we arrive.

Is there a mod that allows us to view weather forecasts in other worlds without visiting them first?

Interesting concept. I've actually never thought of something like this. It isn't necessarily a thing I find myself wondering before my Sims visit anywhere.

So, no, I haven't seen nor heard of a mod relating to this. But I'll keep an eye out, because that would indeed be a good feature to have.

My problem with it is sending my singer Sim (thanks to Road to Fame mod) on a concert. I've set up venues in as many of the worlds as possible and I like to pick one at random. However, I might pick an outdoor type venue only to have my Sim arrive to find it's pouring down rain! Happily, in that same World I do have two indoor venues, so I can quickly switch to one of those, but it's annoying. Would be great to know ahead of time what the weather is, so I can avoid getting my Sim and his entourage soaked before the concert. :confused:

Bienchen has a mod that adjusts the Sunny Aspect lot trait. Add the trait to the party lot and you get 24 hours of sunshine on entering the lot.

Doesn't help if you want snow for your event though.

This mod also prevents rain at GeekCon, even without adding the lot trait.

I changed my gameplay because of the weather. My sims stay within their own world for most of the time because I don't know what weather they will get into. Going on a drink with clear skies and instantly travelling into the middle of a thunderstorm feels weird. It happened to me when sims from willow creek wanted to go for a drink in brindleton Bay.

A forecast for other worlds would be very useful.

I too would like this mod.
