Satisfying Preferences: Weather Addon! (Patreon)

It's finally here! The Weather Addon for Satisfying Preferences brings Satisfaction Point Gain and Loss to your Sim's daily lives, depending on the weather.

There are 4 Weather Types covered by this mod: Sun, Snow, Rain, and Wind.

By default, Sims 4's Weather Preferences are not found in CAS. They are a friendly interaction, "Declare Weather Preferences", and you will need to declare a Love or a Hate for any of these weather types for their effect to take hold. 

These preferences are accounted for whether your Sim is indoors or outdoors, so a rainy day is still a nice vibe to Sims who like rain, and still frustrating to Sims who would rather be out in the sun. Just like all previous modules, the rate of Gain/Loss is 1 point per minute, or 60 points per hour.

This Add-On is COMPLETELY compatible with the previous versions of Satisfying Preferences, and you can stack them however you like! With all 3 mods, a sim who hates the rain and dislikes knitting and can't stand classical music will lose a whopping 180 Satisfaction Points per hour knitting with grandma on a rainy day. Meanwhile grandma, who loves all 3, will gain 180 per hour!

I think this has very fun storytelling possibilities. Your sim who HATES snow just got a new job as a Salaryperson and is moving to Mt. Komorebi? Yeah, good luck with that in Winter.

Note: Due to the way weather transitions work, you may sometimes see Sims without these buffs even though it appears to be the correct weather. This is simply because the weather is transitioning and the Sims no longer believe it to be the previous weather type, or don't think it's the next weather type just yet. This is normal behavior. The game may also transition from Rain to a Thunderstorm and this will also confuse the Sims a bit sometimes. There's nothing I can really do about this. 

Initially I planned to include Thunderstorms and Blizzards as their own thing, with extra Satisfaction Point gain if your sim was Adventurous or a Storm Chaser (and extra loss if they were Squeamish or Paranoid), but I'm having some trouble getting this up and running, so for now this feature is not active. You will still gain/lose points for these as they still count as rain and snow!
