I think it’s probably one of the most overlooked things in the trailer. The storms looks super violent, with the wind. Those palm trees looked like they were about to uproot and fly away :joy: And I LOVE how the lightning looks. Not only do we get cracks of lightning we also get a flash that flashes on the world not the screen (I’m not sure if that’s how it was in 3, I know 2 just had an onscreen flash. The Sims 3 on console just has an onscreen flash too) Please correct me if I’m wrong. I LOVE STORMS so I’m excited!

Ooooooh I’m going to re-watch the trailer to see what I think. I LOVE storms (Aussie here!! We get WILD storms in summer) I hope it is reminiscent of storms where I live!

I live in FL and I find hurricanes to be relaxing so long as they stay under a category 4. Tropical storms are the best to sleep through or watch movies with the fam.

I always enjoy watching a good thunder/lightning storm!

Sims 3 definitely had the lighting and the flash. I usually zoom out when it's storming and try to catch lighting as it strikes. I love storms too XDOne of the reasons I loved sims 3 seasons was the thunder storms that you could see blowing and bringing the trees.

Okay, but we can we talk about the Storms

The sims 2 had the lightning strike. It killed my sim in the hot tub the other day.

Strike yes, but when lightning would flash, I think just the screen flashes not the world if that makes sense.

You didn’t see the house go white from the lightning flash for example, the screen would just flash white.

I love the wind! I never had seasons in Sims 3, so not sure if it’s entirely new, but I think it’s such a great and realistic addition.

I don't think they'll be implemented this time around, but for future Sims titles I'd like to see dusters kick up in desert worlds. Here in the Mojave we'll get very powerful straight line winds often in excess of 65 MPH. Sometimes they'll produce dust storms that are a real pain the neck. While they're more common in the northwest portion of the desert we sometimes get them in the south where I live. That would make for some pretty nifty autumn weather.

Do storms have hail too? I think hail is currently being wondered about.

Technically you can have a snow-storm, but I wouldn't go there - because a billion Simmers will want to know if it accumulates.

So, it may be safe to discuss hail - assuming it is relevant to storms.

Thunder, lightning and hail seemed to be a good mix - ie not just thunder, lightning and rain.
