'''Precipitation''' is a
Precipitation can be described by its type, intensity, accumulation, and duration. All of these depend on the season. The type, as described above, is the kind of precipitation, whether it's rain, hail, or snow. The intensity determines how heavy the precipitation is. For example, hail may or may not be heavy enough to damage crops and injure Sims, snow may occur in light flurries or in a heavy snowfall that eventually covers the ground, and rain may fall in showers or in a thunderstorm. The duration is random.

[[File:Rain.png|left]]Rain occurs in almost all seasons, except winter
In ''The Sims 2: Seasons'', Sims are more likely to do indoor activities while it is raining. Rain also satisfies a [[PlantSim]]
Rain also appears as a feature in ''[[The Sims Castaway Stories]]''. Rain will significantly lower Sims' [[temperature]]. In addition, it will put out fire, and fire cannot be made until the rain is over. Rain appears in some console games, such as [[The Sims 2: Pets (console)|''The Sims 2: Pets'' for console]] and ''[[The Sims 2: Castaway]]'', although it is much simpler than in PC titles.▼
In ''The Sims 3: Seasons'', rain occurs more in spring. Sims who stay outside in the rain for too long without an umbrella will get a "Soaked" moodlet that decreases their mood. [[Mermaid]]s enjoy the rain, however, and will get a boost in mood if they get soaked.{{Vgversion|TS3:IP}} [[SimBot]]s that go outside in the rain will short out and stop functioning.{{Vgversion|TS3:A}} [[Plumbot]]s are water-resistant and are not affected by the rain.{{Vgversion|TS3:ITF}}
▲In ''The Sims 2: Seasons'', Sims are more likely to do indoor activities while it is raining. Rain also satisfies a [[PlantSim]]’s water [[Motive (PlantSim)|need]] and revives Sims who suffer from heatstroke. [[Servo#The Sims 2|Servos]] are rain-resistant, though they can get short-circuited when splashing in the puddles. [[Cat]]s don’t seem to be afraid of rain. Rain can be made by evil witches’ spell ''Corruptus Locus'', while it can be stopped by good witches’ spell ''Beautificus Locus''. Rain never stops in the [[Fortress of Eternal Darkness]].

===Rain puddles{{Anchor|Rain Puddles}}===
[[File:Puddle splashing.jpg|thumb|200px|Rain puddles for frolicking in.]]Rain puddles begin to appear after it has been raining for a while. This kind of puddle is different from regular puddles
Rain puddles and normal puddles can be easily distinguished by their
How quickly the rain puddles form depends on the intensity of the rain. Thus, the heavier the rain is, the sooner rain puddles appear.
In ''The Sims 4: Seasons'', mud piles can also occur during heavy rainfalls,

==Hail==
Line 63:
*'''Intensities''': Light and heavy
*'''Accumulation Levels''': Hail on ground
[[File:Hail.png|left]]Summer is the only season in which hail occurs. Hail can be light or heavy, and heavy hail can be deadly. When heavy hail falls, Sims react by covering their heads. Light hail doesn't impact Sims' motives, while heavy hail will drain their motives quickly.
Hail tends to be briefer than other forms of precipitation, but heavy hail may last long enough to accumulate on the ground and on roofs, though it will not build up as snow does. However, unlike real-world hail, even heavy hail will not damage objects that are outdoors.

==Snow==
{{Main|Snow}}
*'''Seasons''': Winter (50%)
*'''Intensities''': Light and heavy
*'''Accumulation Levels''': Snow on ground
[[File:Snow.png|left]]Snow is primarily a winter event, though some days in spring and fall may get cold enough for brief snow flurries to occur. There are few differences between light and heavy snow, other than how quickly snow will pile up on the ground. There are many activities that can be done in snow, but most activities are only available in heavy accumulation.
Snow can damage the quality of crops in ''The Sims 2: Seasons''. In ''The Sims 3: Seasons'', crops will become dormant in winter and will not be affected by snow. While some crops become dormant during winter in ''The Sims 4: Seasons'',
In ''The Sims 3: Seasons'' and ''The Sims 4: Seasons'', Sims who stay outside in the snow for too long without outerwear can [[Death|freeze to death]].
