I don't think it is that. It's not weather that's the actual issue, its designation of inside vs outside that's broken. The weather indoors is more a symptom of the issue.
Probably more to do with the new pack that had to be fitted in and where they made the change that allows for /home/business/employees only / on the same lot. The changed how home lots work essentially. Now everything is seen as 'outside' in the game, making it easier for other sims to visit your lot as if it's a retail lot ( normally outside/not on home lot). Because sims inside can now also do the 'watch stars' interaction. It's therefore not an issue with seasons, but there not being an 'inside' in the game anymore. On home lots and community lots. They broke the game for the new pack. And changing it so it works at intended might break the new pack in return. Which might be why they are ignoring the issue. Fixing it will break other things, and while trying to sell people the newest pack that's not a good idea for them.
Might also have broken the 'Stay Over' function, now sims that are visiting can't sleep as you can't assign them a bed. Also has to do with 'home lot' functionality.
DarkSimzzz Some of the issues you stated happen in my game but weather inside my residential lots has been happening for 3 months now and B & H was not out. I know for a fact I am not the only one who's been watching this weather issue ?spread? get worse? affect different aspects of not only the older packs but perhaps changes were made to accomendate the new B & H pack? which has nothing to do with anything concerning the weather? or does it? I do not have Business and Hobbies and now, I refuse to spend another dime until my game is fixed enough to be "relaxing and fun" to play!
After investing the last 20 years into Maxis, Electronic Arts with Sims games, I don't believe that I am asking too much when I ask - Would you please fix my game!!! I supported you, now please, support me! If I mean nothing to you then I will humbly walk away! Ball is in their court and in the meantime , you could say, financially, I am on strike!
crinrict*edited with tag* If it helps anyone investingating this bug I've gone through all the emergancy patches from 2024 and from what I've worked out the weather issue for me personally started with the 4th November 2024 Emergancy Patch - Game Version 1.2.16.10. There was also one on 7th November but I am 98% certain it was the 1st as I remember hoping the patch after would be to fix the weather issue caused. So four days after the launch of 'Life and Death'. Like yourself I am on strike financially also.
CommodoreLezmo I personally would EDIT and tag your post so that at least, @ Crinrict , can see it. It may be info they do not have and may really help solve the issue. We never know do we?
Great idea! Just edited it, like you said we never know, its worth a shot.
I don't work for EA. I can do nothing about any issues getting fixed or not fixed and I don't investigate this issue either.
Please read the info in the stickies provided.
It started before the B&H update, I know because I have 1 PC that I haven't updated since Life&Death and the issue doesn't occur there at all ( BBB wasn't updated and I build a lot) , while on another PC I did do the update ( to get the event awards) and there it's snowing inside etc. It hasn't spread ? I think it was indeed actually an earlier update though, in January. That's where they added the new event and the basegame houses refresh. Still could be connected with the new pack regardless of that.
And my theory is that inside vs outside changed somehow for the pack to function, as they added new zones for residential and other buildings. Outside ( public), Public, residential, employees only.
I'll have to test with the pack to see if actually having the pack fixes the issue, that would be something jeeez. Even worse.
