Possible Features That Could Work Well with Seasons

I’ve said this in other threads, but I would really like to see weather have an actual impact on the sims and their living conditions, things like power outages, flooded basements, leaky roofs, broken windows from hail, alternative power sources for potential lower bills, etc. I want to feel like the weather is an active part of my sims lives as opposed to something optional/extra, because in sims 3 all weather did was look pretty and offer new gameplay for building snowman, raking leaves and so on.
