๐ช๏ธ WILD WEATHER โ BETA is here!
Tornadoes have finally rolled in. The forecast can turn on you now: dark skies, howling wind, thunder, lightning and flying debris, plus a whole prep-and-survive loop so your Sims actually have to brace for the storm.
This is an early BETA and I'd LOVE your feedback. It's playable start to finish today, and there's a big roadmap below.
โโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโ
โโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโ
๐ฉ๏ธ Real tornado storms โ a genuine severe storm rolls in: dark clouds, wind, thunder, lightning strikes and blowing debris.
๐ข Watch โ Siren warnings โ a calm "Tornado Watch" gives you a few hours to prepare, then an URGENT siren (with the game's alert sting) sounds when the tornado actually hits.
๐ Secure Outdoor Items โ during a warning, click your Sim and send them jogging around the yard to storm-proof your things. Takes ~30 sim-minutes (no instant wins!). Anything secured rides out the storm undamaged.
๐ Take Shelter โ one click rallies the whole household indoors. Everyone walks to safety on their own, and infants/toddlers get whisked inside (they can't shelter alone). When the tornado hits, the family auto-heads inside too.
๐ฅ Storm damage โ outdoor furniture gets battered and grimy as the storm rages.
๐ง Clean Up & Handiness โ after the storm, click any storm-damaged object and your Sim walks over, cleans/repairs it, and levels up Handiness while they're at it.
โโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโ
โโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโ
During a warning, click your active Sim for "Secure Outdoor Items" and "Take Shelter." After a storm, click any battered object for "Clean Up Storm Damage."
To trigger and control the weather (it'll also do it automatically randomly during spring), open the cheat console (Ctrl + Shift + C) and type any of these:
โข tornado.warn [hours] โ Issue a Tornado Watch. The tornado hits after ~[hours] sim-hours (default 3) and unlocks the prep actions on your Sim. This is the full experience.
โข tornado.summon [hours] โ Skip the warning โ a tornado strikes right now (default ~3h long).
โข tornado.clear โ Calm the skies and end the event.
โข tornado.secure โ Instantly protect all outdoor items (skips the 30-min action).
โข tornado.shelter โ Send the whole household indoors right now.
โข tornado.indoors โ Report who's inside vs. outside.
โข tornado.damage [0โ1] โ Batter a fraction of your outdoor items now (default 0.4).
โข tornado.repair โ Instantly clean up all storm damage.
โข tornado.status โ Weather & season diagnostics.
โข tornado.forecast โ Peek at / roll the forecast.
โข tornado.lightning โ Fire off a lightning strike.
Tip: try "tornado.warn 0.1" to make the tornado hit in a few minutes so you can test the whole warning โ prep โ storm โ cleanup loop quickly.
โโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโ
โโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโ
