Maxis Thank you for the Snow in Strangervillie

I have always wanted a snowy desert in the sims game that reminded me of the one I live in, I was so disappointed when I found out it didn't snow in Oasis Springs even with the weather maker in my sims house and set it to snow and all I got was sunsnow, I even upgraded it to the full options and I still only got sunsnow. I was somewhat disappointed doing the story when winter came and there was no snow and even after the story was done there was no snow, so I decided heck I am going to check to see if the weather machine can overide it and yes, strangervillie looks really nice covered in snow and it reminds me of the high desert area where I live. Now for sure I am going to stick a family in there to play in a true high desert with lots of snow. I haven't dived very far in to see if it would do it automaticly on the colder climate setting, but as far as I know you can manually do it with the Dr Junes weather machine, with the family I tried they didn't have high enough skills to do the full upgrade on the weather machine.
