    Hi @java3wg

    it looks to me like the mod has permanently borked your save. I only had the blizzard affects show in Brindlton Bay though but the SIms act as if it was different weather so it seems to me that the effect is permanent in that neighborhood for that save. but it's just an effect showing.

    So either move all your Sims to a different save or not use that neighborhood. 

    Maybe you have a backup from before you used the machine ? That could also help.

How long has the blizzard/snow storm been going on ? Do you also get it if you travel to a different neighborhood ?

Can you duplicate this on save that never saw any mods ?

I've tried moving worlds and traveling to different lots. I'll test a new save now, thanks!

    Do you also have a blizzard in the other worlds or just the one where you used the machine ?

      It's in the other worlds also.

         Try resetting your user files as described in the factory reset described in this post: http://answers.ea.com/t5/The-Sims-4/FAQ-Troubleshooting-Steps-amp-Known-Issues/m-p/3621199

        You won't loose anything. Just make sure to not delete any files  and make a backup.

        After renaming, repair your game by right clicking on the game in Origin.

        Try on a new game with nothing added back first (start new game). If it works, put back your save game and try again. If it still works, you can start putting stuff back.

        • Options.ini (or just re-set all your settings manually)
        • Tray Folder
        • Screenshots/Videos/Custom music
        • Rest of the save games (leave out slot_00000001.save which is the autosave and no longer needed - if you still have it)
        • Custom content like clothing, hair, skins, make up ....
        • Mods (one by one, making sure they all still work)

        The rest does not need putting back, cause they are mostly cache files that recreate or log files that are not needed for the game.
