Hi no12
thx for your mod, i love it.
in my game the weather does not have a name in the calendar or the forcast.
also i do not get the tempartur displayed in the calendar.
i can see if there is / will be rain, a thunderstorm or clouddy weather, but no name or the temperatur forcast.

Is it because my game is in german?
i thought that i then would see the english names.

Update:

I changed the language of my game to english
now everything is visible.
so it is realy, because my game was set to german.
will wait for a german translation.
hopfully someone will translate it.

Yes and no. LittleMsSam https://lms-mods.com did make a mod that does this (It is not compatible with any weather mod) I think it is her "Sul Sul Weather App" and how she did it is the mod "predicts" the weather then forces the weather when you travel so it's not really "predicting" it, only making it happen before hand. She gives a great explanation on her site and I don't use it because I use this one so I have never used it, just know she has it. Hope this helps.

BTW Love the mod tyvm for keeping it updated it is much appreciated.


Yeah, I have seen her mod and honestly, I could have never imagined such a creative way to 'predict' weather. I was talking about viewing the weather of another world, in my original comment (not that this method came to my mind, obviously, that is all thanks to LittleMsSam), but I guess that explains my negative answer.

Thank you for this awesome mod. Original sims 4's weather are a bit unrealistic to me.
With Cottage Living released, we now have the actual Henford-On-Bagley. Will you change Britechester weather to somewhere else or keep it as current?

I'm planning to keep it as current, as there isn't much climate variety in Britain anyway, so even if I did change it no one would notice a major difference.

Can you please change the temperature range? Temperatures like 44°C in Oasis Springs early spring bother me and it happens all the time - it should be restricted to middle of summer heatwaves if anything. Normally you couldn't survive in that kind of temperatures outside and the swimming pool and such wouldn't help much. And I believe I was getting 14-17*C in Newcrest in the middle of summer and sims considered that "warm", which was also bothering me (I remember waiting for temperatures like 22-25*C but it never come, is Newcrest really that cold climate or the temperature range is messed up?).

Please make it similar to The Sims 3 temperatures variety:
Range Minimum Maximum
Hot 32°C / 90°F 37°C / 99°F
Warm 21°C / 70°F 31°C / 88°F
Mild 10°C / 50°F 20°C / 68°F
Cool 0°C / 32°F 9°C / 48°F
Cold -17°C / 0°F 0°C / 32°F

My suggestion is:
Heatwave 35°C to 40°C
Hot 26°C to 34°C
Warm 16°C to 25°C
Cool 6°C to 15°C
Cold -5°C to 5°C
Freezing - 17°C to -6°C

It will be more realistic.

Hey could you change the sound for heavy rain event from weather_event weather_Rain_Heavy_Cool or weather_event weather_Rain_Heavy i've noticed in 2.0 heavy rain sounds like light rain. Heavy rain it doesnt mean Thunderstorm. Lemme show you on this Video with sounds.mp4

Hey, I need some help with this mod. I edited it using sims 4 studio to make Willow Creek snowy again, but for some reason rivers and ponds are not getting frozen in winter anymore. And I`ve seen it happening in other worlds too, such as Henford on Bagley. Do you know what should I do to fix it?

It's unfortunately not something I can change, but I'll see what I can do.

Sorry, but this is not a bug and something I'm planning to change. The temperatures are the way they are because of gameplay constraints (freezing is 0*C because that's when water freezes eg. accumulating snow), but I will take a look at the issue with Oasis Springs. 44*C weather should be happening there, but restricted to late-spring to early-fall. Newcrest is pretty cold in real-life (Vancouver's summer high is around 20*C I believe, so days slightly below that are expected, although some above that should happen.)

This mod makes rivers harder to freeze, because normally they kept freezing in the slightest cold snap. If needed I can give you a tutorial.

The minor issues present in the last update will probably persist, but there is no reason why this patch would cause any additional issues.

Unfortunately it seems heavy rain sound is still bugged . I tried without the mod and with the old 1.5 version and the sound is ok.

Well, that's because it isn't a bug, and as I said there's not much I can do about it. The sounds aren't mapped to events but the rain intensity itself. The change I made (necessary one I think) was to lower the heavy rain trigger intensity. This allows more variety inside the heavy rain event, but has that side effect. To be honest moderately heavy rain shouldn't sound like a downpour anyway, but if that's a game-breaker for you, you can edit it, and I can give you a tutorial on it on Discord or on here.
