I would love to use this Mod but it seems to have too many Tuning Errors which will let the Mod not work right.

For example in "forecast_Chance_Of_Snow_Freezing" the prescribed_weather_type Tag is within the weather_event_time_blocks but it should be out of there. There are also some weird IDs in your package the ID 212674 is forecast_Chance_Of_Snow_Freezing but in the current Game Files ID 212674 is forecast_Windy_coolWarm_tropicalEP07?

Another Tuning Error Example: all Weather Machine Interactions need to have the new POWER utility_info Tag or else it will cause an Error etc.

I highly recommend to use the TUNING ERROR NOTIFIER by Scumbumbo which helps to find and fix those Errors: https://scumbumbomods.com/#/tuning-error-notifier/

Thx

Thanks for the info, first of all.

The weird IDs ae just me changing the names of forecasts. All the "chance of" are actually tropical forecasts from last year and for example blizzard is actually Santa Anas from Get Famous.

For now I've only been able to fix errors that have caused a problem in my gameplay, and since I test it quite extensively I didn't see a reason that there would be any errors, other than ones that come with the new patches. Guess I was wrong.

Thanks for this again, I will try the error notifier and try to fix the errors in the next day or two.

Awesome! The TEN by Scumbumbo is a blessing for modders^^ Back then when he made it i had to fix all my Mods as well which took me days xD After every Patch this is my last Test to see if i missed any coding updates. I cannot live without it anymore

Just wanted to report that today I was playing and it started lightning before snowing and I thought that was neat - I know you added lightning snow some time ago, but the problem is that it wasn't standard lightning and thunder it was the severe kind that was really loud and causing the screen to shake (like lightning struck nearby) and it kept on doing that repeatedly until the lightning snow event ended.

It was kind of startling. I can't lie. Lol.

♫ Keeping this here until EA gives us a proper playable woodwind/brass instrument ♫
For now, though, my decorative Bassoon conversion for TS4. =)

First off, thank you for this mod! I love what it does to the weather!

Second, I invite you to come visit Colorado, US (any portion of the state east of the Rockies, honestly) during the summer sometime. When we get a thunderstorm it's rare for there to not be lightning! My youngest loves going out and standing on our covered porch once he hears the first boom of thunder. Generally, there will be at least 10-15 minutes of a spectacular lightning show before the storm moves on. It's truly amazing to watch the strikes (sometimes from cloud to cloud which is really cool!), and wait for the thunder to come rolling through. Anyway, I got a chuckle out of your comment as I realized that we really are our own little weather cosmos here

It seems to be working fine. Sorry for the late response, I've been really busy the last week or so.

With the current version of the mod (1.5 Evergreen Harbor), Batuu was stuck in a permanent heat wave until I removed the mod and reset the seasons. I think I've seen the same thing happen once before when I visited a newly-added world before the mod was updated to cover it. Back to looking forward to the next update, then.

Yeah, this happens every time with my mod, unfortunately.
I'll update the mod today or tomorrow to cover Batuu.

EDIT: Sorry I'm a bit late on this, but the update's now up!

I have snow in Sulani. Not just a dusting. Not even a sticking snow that soon disappears. I have a heavy, thick blanket of snow that lasts the entire season! I had it with the previous update and I have it with this one, too. (I'm new to TS4, meaning I don't have a long history to know if it worked before! I have a few mods but they are the "normal" ones, like MCCC, Passionate Romance, SOL, and various LittleMsSam mods for School and Pets. Nothing that should be affecting weather. Unlike TS3 when you could affect weather for just that particular neighborhood, making changes with the Seasons tab seems to change all neighborhoods. Any idea what is going on?

Have you tried the method in the description? If you're adding this to a game that you've already started, you should reset the forecasts once.

Hello! This mod is really cool, but I seem to have come across a bug. During thunderstorms, whenever I try to put my toddler to bed, it cancels out and he gets a 'run inside' action in his quene despite already being inside.

Blizzards don't trigger this though. It's just the thunderstorms. I have tested with only Weather Overhaul in my mods folder.

I think I've come across this once before, but I wasn't sure it was about my mod. I'll test this out, thanks for the bug report!

There's no new features or anything this time, but you can always check from the changelog on the bottom of the page.

It also happens (and I think worse) with the "Read to Sleep" interaction as well. When a storm started up after my toddler was already asleep they stayed asleep though.

Yes you can, and if you are experiencing bugs, it might actually be beneficial (even though I've never seen this happen).
