For the most part I'm really loving Seasons, but I'm really getting tired of it raining ALL the time. I feel like my sims can never enjoy the outdoors anymore because it's raining or there are thunderstorms so often. What's bugging me the most is when summer finally does roll around, it's still raining and there are still thunderstorms. I want to use my pool and have the kids run around outside in the summer... Has anyone else noticed this and are bothered?

Personally, I kind of like the challenge - my Sims' lives are very scripted, since I play with autonomy off, but I don't mess with the weather, allowing some quirks into my evil design for my Sims.
From what I've read around the forums people have been having a hard time with custom careers & custom traits since the Seasons patch & the subsequent patches. Do you have the most updated version of the mod?

Right now, I'm in Brindleton Bay. I'm going to try the weather machine and see if that helps. I don't hate the rain and thunderstorms. I actually love them, just not in summer. I'm from California, so this is not realistic weather to me, lol.
And anything in the Sims is? lol
Isn't Brindleton Bay based on the north east coast of the us though? I'm Swedish and haven't lived in the US at all, but based on my experience of living in a city close to the coast where it's also a bit colder, and my understanding of us geography, I'd say the weather is pretty accurate. I wish we could customise the weather a bit more though, I understand if you don't want to play as if it is the east coast.
Could it help weather to stabilize if playing longer seasons? I've only played 7 days seasons, not sure...
Yes, actually. To an extent. Many of the basic parts of the sims are based on reality. It is a simulated life experience, but yes many aspects are unrealistic as well. My point was that with weather I guess I had certain expectations. For winter I know I'm getting snow, blizzards, chilly days. For summer I expect good weather, if not hot weather. A cool day here and there, maybe one rainy day. That's not what I was getting though. There were rain and thunderstorms throughout the entire summer. My sims could hardly do any outdoor activities the entire seasonal year. So yes, I expect something a little more realistic.
I do love the rain and thunderstorms as well, just not in the summer. I want my sims to be able to do summer activities in the summer and have to deal with the struggles of summer like heat waves and trying to cool down. Instead my sims were dealing with cold weather problems in the summer...
