🌪️❄️ WILD WEATHER — BLIZZARDS & SNOW DAYS UPDATE

Winter just got dangerous. The mod that brought tornadoes to The Sims 4 now has a whole cold-weather tier, plus a mountain of features added since the first beta. Here's everything Wild Weather does now. (This was going to originally ship with tornadoes, but I had to patch up a bug!)

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

❄️ BLIZZARDS & SNOW DAYS (NEW!)

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

• 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 get to stay home while the adults still head to work.

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

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

🏃 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 (NEW) — 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 (NEW!)

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

• 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.

• On Eco Lifestyle lots, appliances lose power too — not just the lights.

• Flickering can be fully DISABLED for photosensitivity (and the setting sticks across saves).

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

📱 CHECK THE FORECAST (NEW!)

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

• Click your Sim → Wild Weather → Check Forecast for a 7-day outlook — conditions, temperature, precipitation, and flags for tornado-risk and blizzard days.

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