Hail

Hail is a type of weather first encountered in The Sims 2: Seasons. Hail occurs mostly in the winter. If your Sim is outside in a hailstorm, they will attempt to shield themselves from it; if they spend too much time out in the hail, they can die. Toddlers cannot die from this. Sims going to a car or carpool, or Sims with a specific objective will not be affected by hail. Hail typically will not last for very long, compared to rain or snow, and does not do any damage to objects in-game. There are both "See Hail" wants and fears that sims can have regarding this weather type.

The Sims 2 deviates from real weather patterns on the subject of hail: typically hail is found in Cumulonimbus clouds (along with lightning and tornadoes), which almost always form during warm periods (i.e. summertime). On the other hand, sleet - which is rain that has frozen before hitting the ground - is often confused as hail and is somewhat common during winter in temperate climates. thumb|right|400px|A Sim Dies By Hail
