@alan650111 ohhh my goodness. I was just joking. It's actually still raining in winter? Thank you for confirming. This is definitely a rainy island ...
If you get tired of the rain, can't you turn it off in game options? You can always turn it back on again later.

@Stormkeep I guess you are very special, because it rains non-stop on my island. It even rained on the wedding day. I didn't notice the hole in the roof in the wedding venue. Everyone was gathered outside by the piano and pulled out black umbrellas. Then carried them everywhere through the wedding bringing bad luck and maybe more rainstorms to the island.
Personally, I'd add a glass roof over it if it is and if I planned to have weddings there. I have multiple venues where I can hold weddings, but only one is outdoors because I don't trust weather.

@Stormkeep Yes there is a hole there in the ceiling. That's the main wedding venue in the game. I didn't try to build my own yet, but adding a glass roof on that one is an excellent idea. Thank you for the suggestion. The problem was that because it rained everyone who was there or walked through there picked up an umbrella and then carried it around inside too. Rain and black umbrellas on the wedding day, poor bride. Luckily they didn't hold them once they sat down for the actual wedding that would have been hilarious though.

This sim family is also constantly sick, unlike any other before, and I've just rebuilt them a home in Strangerville. The world is, for me personally, extra bland with a lot of puddles.
In spring, the chance of guaranteed rain is only 20% with an additional 27% of having a day with a "chance" of rain and a 13% chance of it being cloudy but without rain. So overall, you'll see overcast weather 60% of the time in spring.
Summer weather is very similiar in terms of odds of rain and cloudy days. The only real difference is it can get slightly warmer.
Fall and Winter are actually your best seasons for Sun in Tartosa, but even then not by much, it only reaches 50%.
Keep in mind that weather systems in the game can span days, so if you aren't in the world long term, depending on how the randomness 'rolls' the weather, it can seem that certain weather types are more prevalent than they are in aggregate.
Its a fairly easy thing to use S4S to tune the weather to add weighting to weather types which you prefer, and even remove weather types completely, on a world-by-world basis. Just throwing that out there for anyone willing to use mods; if you know how to read and use cut/copy/paste you could make your own mod to customize the weather however you want.

It's always interesting to experience how the 'worlds' connect in another Simmer's mind. There used to be a thread like that. It was pretty cool.
Agreed. It seems that Sulani still gives us way more options for a beachy world than Tartosa. That's too bad. I wonder why they chose not to extend the one beach lot out into the water?
