Wild Weather | A Natural Disaster Sims 4 Mod (Patreon)

🌪️🌑 WILD WEATHER — THE ALL-IN-ONE EXTREME WEATHER OVERHAUL FOR SEASONS

The biggest weather overhaul for The Sims 4. What started with tornadoes has grown into a full four-season disaster system — a storm-chasing CAREER, rare SOLAR ECLIPSES and METEOR SHOWERS, deadly HEAT WAVES, FROZEN PIPES, SEASONAL ALLERGIES, and a fear-and-reward MOODLET system that makes every storm hit different. Here's everything the mod does now.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

🎥 METEOROLOGIST CAREER

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

• A fully custom 10-level career — read the skies for a living.

• At level 6 it BRANCHES into two paths:

📺 TV Weather Personality — climb from Morning Weather Anchor to National Weather Icon.

🌪️ Storm Chaser — go from Field Storm Chaser to Legendary Storm Chaser.

• Daily promotion task "Study the Forecast" — use the Check Forecast action to climb the ranks.

• Progressive pay all the way up, custom career art, and its own job-performance track.

• Just find it under "Find a Job" on the phone — no cheats needed.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

🌑 SOLAR ECLIPSES

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

• A rare astronomical event — the sky goes dark at midday and the streetlights flicker on.

• Any Sim caught outside witnesses it and earns the awe-struck "Witnessed a Solar Eclipse" moodlet.

• Click your Sim → Watch the Eclipse — they head outside to lie on the grass and gaze up at the sky.

• Look carelessly, though, and you might end up "Seeing Spots." 👀

• Happens on its own roughly once a Sim-year, or summon one whenever you like.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

🌠 METEOR SHOWERS

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

• On rare clear nights the sky fills with shooting stars.

• Click your Sim → Watch the Meteor Shower to head outside and gaze up (awe moodlet), or Make a Wish for a hopeful, inspired boost.

• It reacts to who's watching: couples out together get "Starlit Romance," and kids get a wide-eyed "Sense of Wonder."

• The real payoff — when the shower ends, actual meteorite fragments land OUTSIDE on your lot. Collect them and sell them for Simoleons.

• Rolls in rarely at night on its own or summon one whenever you like.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

😱 FEAR & REACTION MOODLETS

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

• Dread that builds and then pays off. A warning leaves Sims Uneasy; when the storm hits, anyone caught outside is downright Scared (Freezing in a blizzard, Sweltering in a heat wave).

• Sims safely indoors during a tornado get a tense "Riding Out the Storm" instead.

• Ride it out and everyone earns a proud reward buff — "Weathered the Storm," "Braved the Blizzard," or "Braved the Heat."

• Works across tornadoes, blizzards AND heat waves, each with its own custom moodlet art.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

🌪️ TORNADOES

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

• Real severe storms roll in — dark skies, howling wind, thunder, lightning & blowing debris.

• A calm "Tornado Watch" gives you a few hours to prepare, then an URGENT siren sounds when it hits.

• Rare, natural spawns in spring & summer — or summon one whenever you like.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

🔥 HEAT WAVES

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

• Summer's answer to the blizzard — a scorching heat wave sends the temperature soaring.

• This is REAL heat danger: Sims left outside can overheat and even suffer heatstroke.

• They'll automatically flee indoors, crank the AC, and grab cold drinks to cool off.

• Reaction moodlets: tough it out and you're "Sweltering"; make it through and you've "Braved the Heat."

• A "Heat Advisory" warns you, and heat waves arrive naturally in summer (rare) or on command.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

❄️ BLIZZARDS & SNOW DAYS

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

• BLIZZARDS — freezing whiteout storms. Sims caught outside get dangerously cold and flee for safety, and a blizzard can knock out the power for a day or two.

• SNOW DAYS — softer, cozier snow that CANCELS SCHOOL. The kids and teens stay home while the adults still head to work.

• Both arrive naturally in winter (rare), or trigger them on command.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

🚿 FROZEN & BURST PIPES

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

• When a blizzard hits, unprotected pipes can FREEZE — every toilet, sink, tub and shower on the lot stops working.

• A "Hard Freeze Watch" gives you a heads-up first. Ignore frozen pipes too long and one BURSTS — a bigger mess that needs a repair.

• Fix them with the in-game repair service or a handy Sim; merely-frozen pipes thaw on their own once it warms back up.

• Prevent it entirely: before the freeze, click a Sim → Drip the Sinks — they walk to a sink, leave the tap running overnight, and the whole house is protected. Free.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

🤧 SEASONAL ALLERGIES

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

• Only SOME Sims are allergy-prone — give any Sim the "Seasonal Allergies" trait (or remove it) right from the Wild Weather pie menu.

• In spring, allergic Sims outdoors get the "Itchy & Sneezy" moodlet; heading inside helps.

• Take Allergy Medicine for fast relief that suppresses the symptoms for a while.

• A small slice of townies are naturally allergy-prone, so the world feels alive — not every Sim is sneezing.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

🏃 PREP & SHELTER

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

• Secure Outdoor Items — send your Sim jogging around the yard to storm-proof your things (secured items survive undamaged).

• Take Shelter — one click rallies the whole household indoors; toddlers & infants get whisked safely inside.

• When a tornado hits, the family auto-heads in on its own.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

💥 DAMAGE, REPAIR & INSURANCE

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

• Storms batter your outdoor furniture over time. Click any damaged item → your Sim walks over, cleans it up, and levels Handiness.

• STORM INSURANCE — pay a weekly premium, then after a disaster file a claim (small deductible) to AUTO-REPAIR everything at once and collect a payout. No insurance? Fix it yourself.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

🔌 POWER OUTAGES

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

• Storms and blizzards can cut the power for a sim-day or two, with a "repair crew is on the way" notification before it comes back.

• Outages turn off the lights on any lot. On ECO LIFESTYLE lots, appliances lose power too — not just the lights.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

📱 CHECK THE FORECAST

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

• Click your Sim → Wild Weather → Check Forecast for a 7-day outlook — conditions, temperature, precipitation, and flags for tornado-risk and blizzard days. (It also powers your Meteorologist promotions!)

• All the click-Sim actions live tidily under their own "Wild Weather" pie-menu submenu. 🌩️

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

♿ ACCESSIBILITY & CONTROLS

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

• Turn off any weather type you don't want, and it stays off across saves — keep the blizzards and eclipses but switch tornadoes OFF entirely (great if severe storms aren't your thing).

• Light flickering during outages can be fully DISABLED for photosensitivity, and that setting sticks too.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

7/13/26 UPDATE/CHANGELOG — NEW FEATURES

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

🌀 WILD WEATHER — Hurricane Update

NEW 🌀 Hurricanes — a long, named, Category 1-5 megastorm that hits in real phases: outer bands → front eyewall (landfall) → the eerie CALM EYE → back eyewall → clearing.

NEW 👁️ The eye of the storm — a deceptive dead-calm passes overhead mid-hurricane before the back side slams in from the other direction.

NEW 🛡️ Non-lethal but serious — Sims are herded indoors (terrified & soaked), the power goes out for a day or two, and outdoor property takes widespread damage. Prep with the existing Take Shelter + Secure Outdoor Items.

ADD 📅 Rare natural spawns in late summer / fall (hurricane season), plus hurricane.warn / hurricane.summon / hurricane.clear commands.

ADD ⚙️ New content toggle: weather.disable / enable hurricane.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

1. Requires The Sims 4: SEASONS. (Eco Lifestyle optional — enables appliance power loss.)

2. Delete your old WildWeather files and drop in BOTH new ones (package + ts4script).
