EA’s The Sims 4 is a great way to escape, especially when it’s cold and dreary outside! Depending onwhat Sims 4 packs you have installed, you can go everywhere from the desert to a verdant and lush city. What happens though when you log in to have your time away from reality and are met with rainy and stormy weather in the game, too? Thankfully there are ways to deal with that!
How to Change the Weather in The Sims 4
There are two ways of changing the weather in The Sims 4, the legitimate way and the cheat way. Please bear in mind that both of these methods require The Sims 4: Seasonspack to be installed. These will not work on the base game or other Game Packs.
We will start off with the legitimate way to change the weather. If you are a hardcore Simmer that loves the mods then feel free to jump to the second half of this article!
Using the Weather Control Device
In order to change the weather you will need to purchaseDr. June’s Weather Control Devicefor 1,500 Simoleons which comes with the Seasons expansion pack. In order to do this go to the top right hand corner and click:
Build Mode > Objects by Function > Activities and Skills > Type June in the Search Bar
And you will findDr. June’s Weather Control Device.You can also just scroll until you find it, but why do that when you have a search bar? With this you will be able to choose what weather you want at anytime of day. The weather types you can choose from are as follows:

And that should cover all your weather needs in The Sims 4! Please do be careful with mods, these have been tried and tested but some mods are known to cause problems with the base game, and if you encounter this you will have to re-install everything so ensure you know what you are adding.
Why aren’t Weather Cheats working in The Sims 4?
If you aren’t having luck with using the above weather cheats, you aren’t alone. For some reason,many players of The Sims 4 can’t get these cheats to workfor them. EA has not commented on the functionality of the cheats, so we aren’t sure if it will be fixed. For now, you’ll just have to make sure you’ve tried the cheats correctly. If you have and they still don’t work, another method is required.
What to do if Sims 4 Weather Cheats don’t work
If you’re having trouble with cheats, we recommend using the weather device in-game instead. you may alsodownload the UI Extension Cheats modor MC Command Center to use similar tools to cheat the weather. With the UI Extension Cheats mod, you’llright-click the weather icon. For the MC Command Center, click on the mailbox and chooseMC Cheats, thenSeasons Cheats, and finallyChange Season.
