First of all, I’d steer clear of this discussion if you don’t like spoilers and I would highly suggest using the spoiler tags when commenting! I’ve heard some stuff about the weather in Strangerville being really, well, strange. Does anyone have any idea of weather patterns or anything like that?

Something I noticed...Spoiler (Highlight to read)As I progressed closer and closer to the end, that cloud got more and more ominous, and by the very end, it was throwing lighting from that cloud to the ground. By the time the issue was over, don't want to spoil it too much, the sky was normal, and the ominous cloud is gone.https://scontent-ort2-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/53027794_1219307001552926_6561244284798894080_o.jpg?_nc_cat=105&_nc_ht=scontent-ort2-1.xx&oh=81c6401b089091a38ee8702c4e073fc4&oe=5CDF8C36https://scontent-ort2-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/53473695_1219306878219605_9030903771953102848_o.jpg?_nc_cat=101&_nc_ht=scontent-ort2-1.xx&oh=c219152945572ca98f3ea680bd18168f&oe=5CDBD4FCAs I progressed closer and closer to the end, that cloud got more and more ominous, and by the very end, it was throwing lighting from that cloud to the ground.

@AriaMad2 I have already completed the storyline, and everything became normal. I ended up getting bored with it and started it up again. This time I'm going to leave it, weird weather an all. :)

It started snowing which surprised me, but the snow never built up

apparently with the '?' weather, lightning strikes will happen in the quick thunderstorms there even if you have that turned off (there have been several complaints and lots of talk of jump scares because of that). and when lightning does strike somewhere that isn't a sim, there's a chance it will leave a random metal, crystal, or element behind. usually one of the more rare ones, from what i've seen

I once had one of those days pop up in my game. There ended up being a thunderstorm and I couldn’t progress through the storm properly for two weeks because of my anxiety. Something definitely needs to be done about that; for the sakes of people like me.

LOL I was just thankful when my Sims solved the mystery! So thankful, that since I took a copy of my game save from this computer and played it mostly on my laptop, I didn't feel a need to take the designated Enterprise Crew through that scenario again. Nope, I caught them all up in age, on this computer, married off the Sims and now they are settling into their private lives. Thank you, one mission is enough. LOL

Maybe the weather forecast will always be the yellow question mark that means that you could have any kind of weather throughout the day? But, I imagine that would get annoying pretty quickly.

I guess it works without seasons too, at least snow is not affected by the mystery.

They said you'll still see those clouds, there is no weather element, purely visual (the cloud that is).
