Great job looks good

I no longer make sims, if you wish to contact me through this site it is highly unlikely that you will receive a reply.

Increasing the rain and hail is a great idea, but snow? I live in Arizona - southern Arizona - and we get snow maybe once every 5 years. Maybe it's different in other deserts, though.

is it can be sims tiem now plees?

I checked it, and it works the way it should. You may be experiencing this bug because 1) you have anotherone of my hacks interferring 2) it happened all by chance 3) you have your sims use objects that will increase their temperatures like hot tubs or drinking hot chocolate.

Just so - it owes more to elevation than anything. Low desert - most of southern Arizona, as you note, but also uninhabitable expanses like the Sahara, which is what most people think of when they think of the desert - are very low in elevation, experience little rainfall, and stay hot year-round. High deserts - up around Flagstaff on up to Utah for example, and eastward into northern NM - are thousands of feet higher in elevation, don't get nearly as hot, have respectable winters, even seeing several snows per year (which is why Taos is one of the best ski resorts in the world!)

Heck, most people don't realize Antarctica is also a desert - in fact, the biggest on the planet! But these are clearly not the type of deserts the modder here is going for hehe.

If I download this, will it change the weather in all neighborhoods, or only in desert neighborhoods? I'd love to have desert weather in Strangetown, but I want traditional seasons in the other neighborhoods.

Thank you very much!
First I diseabled the snow in the ground in my game because all that white makes my pc slow down a bit. Then I disabled the winter in all my neighborhoods to end snowing. So I ended with two summers or two falls or two springs. But the rain and lightning are still a problem and that can't be diseabled via control panel.
Plus I hate lightning!
This hack will be most usefull.
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!

I would love this if I could apply it to only certain subhoods in a neighbourhood web. Then Strangetown and La Fiesta Tech would be so awesome in my MeggaHood. *sigh*

Thank you! I play Strangetown, for the most part, and it bugs me to see so much rain and hail. I live in Southern California, which is mostly chaparral and desert, and I don't remember the last time it hailed!
