Too many thunderstorms!

Are you playing in Brindleton Bay by any chance? Like Chazzy said Brindleton Bay gets a lot of thunderstorms and rain. I love the rainy days but I too wish they were toned down a bit. Brindleton Bay is also my favorite world so I don't want to move my Sims either.

There is, you can turn off both t-storms & blizzards, you can also turn off rain and snow altogether if you want.

Right now I'm playing a new couple in San Myshuno, first day was the last day of Spring, and now it's the first day of Summer, and both days have been rain. I'm having flashbacks to my Sims 2 and Sims 3 Spring/Summer times. lol Seems that my games all love rain.

I totally forgot to say it is in Brindleton Bay. It really needs to be toned down.

We shouldn't have to turn off weather, it just needs to be better balanced.

That's New England (BB) and I live in New England - in Maine's Lakes Region - and that's the way it is most years lately especially. Like we have had some rain and cloudiness everyday since Friday with more coming. When it is not raining it is very humid and hot right now, but no sun. The actual temp is on 76-80 but with 70 percent humidity it feel like the 90's. Stay in - keep the AC on - the air is tough to breath. Nights cool right off but we still have lots of humidity.

Last week we had two nice days - it was sunny, in the low 70's with low humidity - just perfect - but unfortunately they are few and far between for the last 3-4 years here..

I guess because I play a 7 day season, my weather has been pretty balanced. I also have only been in willow creek so far.

It would be nice if the weather varied throughout the day like real life. T storms don't last ALL DAY in the midwest during summer, they come and go quickly. I don't see why the forecast needs to be so limited, except for on days with "mysterious weather".

Never move to Maine then - you won't like it. Nothing comes and goes in a day here.

I don't know about Maine, but I live in another part of New England and the weather is completely unpredictable. Just yesterday we had hot and muggy sunshine, then the clouds rolled in and five minutes later there was a two minute rainfall. Then it cleared up, hot and sunny for a few hours, then a sudden light sun shower that cleared in a few minutes and went back to hot and horribly muggy sunshine.

I sometimes bring umbrellas to work on sunny days and it makes me look eccentric until we get the flash thunderstorm, lol.

If you need a break from thunderstorms then simply disable them. It is a very easy thing to do. Also, try experimenting with the season intervals as it might impact the frequency.
