I'm pretty new to TS4. I have most of the "big" mods that most people have, as well as a few of the different packs, including Seasons & Island Living. TS4 comes nowhere near being as flexible as TS3 in seasonal issues. It's New Year's Eve and Sulani is BURIED under a very thick blanket of snow. I don't like that. A tropical island so....no. I don't even understand WHY it snows there. I don't know how to make it stop without going in and fiddling with the seasons tab every time I want to change worlds. (I jump around alot because each neighborhood is very poorly limited with activities and such.) I can't click on the ground to stop the snow (TS3), and it seems like any changes I make with the tab changes other neighborhoods, too. Without using the machine that changes weather AFTER having to get really high handiness (I believe), is there any way to fix it so that Sulani doesn't get snow, or cold? I don't want to have to keep going into the Seasons tab every time I change neighborhoods!

I have never ever had snow in Sulani. Didn't even think that that was possible.
Me neither. Sounds mod related.
Mods related? When I use MCCC, which most people do? I have a few from LittleMsSam (pretty much Pet and School mods), Kawaii's SOL, Sacrificial's Passionate Romance and Scarlet's Homework and Walk Style mods. I can't imagine any of those affecting weather.
I don't know if it makes a difference but I installed Island Living before Seasons.
What I would like is to make it so that it rains less. It seems like it’s always raining and storming and it gets annoying after a while in those worlds. I would like to be able to customize the weather more easily and set it once for the entire world.
Since Sulani has come out all my sims live there, I've played over 1000 hours in Sulani, gone through many winters there, never seen so much as a snowflake
According to google it CAN snow there if a Sim has a weather machine. Do you have any sim that has one and MCCC is allowing it to be used autonomously (or maybe they do anyways? I've never used one)
"If The Sims 4: Seasons is installed, Sulani will have slightly different weather compared to most worlds. Namely, all weather types are higher in temperature, with winter only going as low as cool. There is a new weather type only found in Sulani called "monsoons". Monsoons are extreme thunderstorms that are stronger than normal thunderstorms in other worlds but happen for a shorter period of time. Monsoons only occur randomly during late summer to late fall.
Snow is also not present in Sulani, but Sims can use the weather-controlling machine to temporarily make snow appear."
I don't remember ever hearing about "monsoons" occurring in Sulani, so I learned something, lol. Unfortunately, though, the snow does sound like it has to be mod related. I know MCCC is a huge mod so if that's the cause, perhaps a simple setting change will solve the issue for you. Of course, all you can do is pull them and try to track down the culprit.
But since you use MCCC, you can use the cheats module on the mailbox to change the weather. Maybe that's how you got it to snow? You can set the desired weather and the amount of time that weather lasts. I haven't tested it extensively, but I do suspect that that weather carries over to all worlds. But you can also use it to turn the weather back to sunny cool, or warm if you prefer.
I have never experienced snow in Sulani and it's one of may favorite worlds to play in. I do use loads of mods as well so I am not sure if that would be the issue unless you have very conflicting mods. If you use the MCC mod you can change the weather on any lot by placing a mailbox on the lot and clicking on that.. you could give that a try I use that method all the time because I like to play on open air lots and parks in the summer
Honestly, despite some prevailing attitudes here, I'm not making it up. I've also been playing The Sims since it came out with the first version. I understand how the games work (TS4 less than the others because I've not messed around in it like I have with TS2 & TS3), how mods work (have even written a couple for my own play in TS3), and over the decades have taken everything out and put it back in more than I can even count. With the purchase of a new PC a year ago and moving all of the Sims games to Origin, I've even gotten quite good at "fixing" updates that break my games via the registry! So I'll keep trying to find out what's going on and hope that someone comments who actually has experience with this!
I couldn't find the issue on AHQ, could be nobody else has experienced this, or they just didn't bother to make a report on it. I did search for "snow sulani" and "snowstorm", but nothing spesific came up. Couldn't find anything in the compiled list either, when looking at IL and Seasons lists. Might be worth it to post there also?

AHQ - Game help and Bugs
I would suggest you "repair" your game and see if that fixes it. I know when they release a pack or patch, it seems to mess up a lot of things when playing saved saves.
Also, have you recently deleted the localthumbecache file in your Sims 4 folder? While I don't see how that could cause the issue, it does need to be deleted now and then, especially if you change your mods folder because it can cause glitches here and there.
My advice would be to remove the mods folder temporarily, delete the localthumbecache file, repair the game in Origin, and then check all your mods for updates before putting them back and try the game again.
If it persists, it's possible that it's either a unique bug or some obscure conflict in your mods.
Does Sulani get mysterious weather? I haven't seen that either. I love that weather. Everything happens. Oh, wait... did anyone ask if you have the weather machine?
Anyway, pics would be nice
Could be as sometimes plans in Sims 4 sometimes does not go as planned or not planned.
