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''. |

In ''The Sims 3: Seasons'', rain occurs more in Spring. When Sims stay outside rain for too long, they'll get a moodlet "Soaked" which is -30 to the mood, but +30 if the sim is [[mermaid]]{{Vgversion|TS3:IP}}. Sim can use an unbrella to prevent this. [[Simbot ]] goes outside the rain will get Short Out moodlet and stop functioning{{Vgversion|TS3:A}}, but a [[Plumbot]] is water-resistant and won't become Short Out {{Vgversion|TS3:ITF}}. |

Most of the time, fires caused by lightning strikes are extinguished immediately by the rainfall, but in rare situations, the rain stops after the very last lightning strike. In this situation, the fire won't be extinguished. If this happens to a tree, the fire cannot be extinguished, but may disappear if the player saves, exits and reloads the lot. (This appears to be a case of the FX being stuck, rather than the fire itself persisting.) |

Lightning in ''The Sims 3: Seasons'' occurs like in ''The Sims 2: Seasons'', but it less dangerous than ''The Sims 2''. When lightning strikes Sims, it is treated as death by electrocution. Unlike ''The Sims 2: Seasons'', sims cannot be struck in a hot tub and pool. Lightning in ''The Sims 3: Seasons'' also won't cause fire |

[[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. There is a random chance that, in heavy hail, a hail barrage will fall from the sky and bludgeon Sims outside. Sims who get bludgeoned by this hail barrage will experience a sudden drop in their needs, and, if their needs are low enough, will die. Hail can also damage crops by lowering the quality over time. Sims in The Sims 3 cannot die by hail. |

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. |

[[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. However, playing in snow will lower Sims' temperature quickly. If they are wearing outerwear, it will still drop, but not as quickly. Snow also attracts [[penguin]]s. Snow on the ground will eventually melt if no more snow falls. Melting snow will leave puddles which behave like rain puddles. |
