I am to the point where I am ready to pack up my Sims and move outside of Brindleton Bay! Why does almost every day see rain during the day and like a calming for roughly three hours before becoming rain again...plus, not EVERY rainstorm had to have massive thunderstorms attached. I set my seasons for 28 days each. My past two summers, I counted 22 days of rain and thunder and in the second summer 24 days of summer, That seems rather high to me! I shouldn't have to do the whole "weather machine" route to enjoy a summer in what is supposed to be a New England-style town (I live in NE: on our worst years, we have never had rain and thunder in THOSE amounts!).
I beg you - please nerf this out a bit to resemble something more normal or stop making EVERY Sim terrified of thunderstorms!

The weather makes all the worlds unique so I am not totally against it and yes, you can disable rain storms and snow storms in the options. I really don't like cold weather in general, so I just have a harder time playing in Brindleton Bay.
I actually had a child taken away from me, because he refused to eat during a thunderstorm and after some many days in a row, his hunger was enough to have him removed from the family. He wouldn't sit in the high chair or even eat off the floor: he just kept displaying an icon that said "run inside", although we were inside. I even tried building a basement and trying to feed him in the center to no avail
Has anyone had a Sim that isn't afraid of t-storms? I'm on Gen 4 of this family and every male or female have had that trait...
If they have the 'outdoor lover' trait, thunderstorms won't bother them. I've never used the 'stormchaser' reward trait, but I assume it does the same thing.
Try taking the high chair away and letting the toddler serve himself from a group meal. I haven't had any issues with the 'run inside' bug when I do that. (They fixed the bug, but it came back.) I do have a problem with 'read to sleep' during a thunderstorm - the only thing that works is to cancel the action altogether (for both the parent and child) and let the toddler put herself to bed.
The thunderstorms are a bit over-the-top - I live in a place where it's not unusual to have them every day for a week or so, but never all day long.
I didn't know about the "outdoor trait" being a 'fix' for that - thanks for the heads up!!!
there's a trait that makes them not afraid of storms, but why? realistically, there should be atleast ONE sim who's not afraid but hey*kanye shrug* i also use mods for this because it's annoying
I really wish that the weather would be more balanced. I get that Brindleton is a humid world, but thundering almost every day seems too extreme. I don't want to turn off the weather effects, I actually like them, but please make them more balanced.
