Why is it always raining?

There is a setting to take away rain and/or thunderstorms in Game Options. Think there is a specific tab for the weather.

I, too, forgot why I usually turn the storms off in my game. It’s been summer but they have had tonnes of rain and thunder (and the scared moodlets..)

Weather changing machine?

Well, some worlds just have that rainy climate. Brindleton Bay is one of these worlds.

Where are your sims living?

Are you in Tartosa? I ask because that always happens to me in Tartosa :sweat_smile:

I feel like it might have something to do with not having snow blizzards so game does double of thunderstorm but thats just a theory



but yeah weather machine might help

although i almost feel like that just pushes back the curse for longer thunderstorm season but maybe thats me being paranoid

I'm in the base neighbourhood and I think it's summer or sprint

I've noticed this as well while watching some youtubers let's plays. Specifically Vixella's Barbie legacy. She keeps moving to different towns and it just keeps raining.

Sometimes I like to turn off the thunderstorm and blizzards, that reduces the bad weather overall.

Yeaaah, this is one of the reasons why Seasons isn't my favorite pack. While I do like the seasonal changes, I feel like they can be very disruptive and tedious. And while I do love the Fear emotion, I don't think the implementation of repeat fears for all Sims was a good idea. It can get old very quickly every time the whole household won't stay focused because they have to keep running outside to see the rain or mop a puddle and then run back inside because they're scared, then repeat over and over again. I've had to reset Sims because of this annoying behavior. I had hoped we could choose/randomize from a list of phobias instead in CAS. I can't stand when they code a feature to be all one and done for all Sims because it makes them all so samey. The Brave trait is good to offer, but then it's all or nothing with Sims instead of having nuanced fears that make sense for their traits or personalities. Some of the Fears work out okay, but that thunderstorm one...ugh.

Anyway, I've noticed that some Sim areas will have randomly bad rainy seasons as well, that won't repeat the same each year, but it can completely ruin a whole Spring or Summer. That already has been happening in my area in real life, lol, so I don't really want that happening in my game too.

I need to get my Mermaids more spread out and place some extra weather machines around. Oh, if only we could edit our own worlds! :s

Windenburg is another one of those worlds where it's almost always raining, but very little in the way of thunderstorms. I don't play much in the other worlds anymore. I turn the thunderstorms off, but keep the rain, and snow just for the season effect. It's spring in my game so there's lots of rain and sometimes snow, but not enough to cause a snow day.

I had constant thunderstorms one winter in Sulani. It got pretty tedious! I turned the thunderstorms off in the settings for a while just to give myself a break and enable my sims to do stuff outdoors. Then when I felt I’d had a long enough break I turned the thunderstorms back on again, as I do like variety.
