Precipitation: Difference between revisions

[[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. ThereIn ''The Sims 2: Seasons'', 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: Seasons'' cannot die by hail, but will still get uncomfortable if they 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.

Snow also attracts [[penguin]]s.{{Vgversion|TS2:S}} Snow on the ground will eventually melt if no more snow falls. Melting snow will leave puddles which behave like rain puddles.

*If heavy snow falls until morning, there is a chance that [[School#The Sims 2 and The Sims Stories|school]] will be canceled for a snow day. Children and teens will cheer or sigh at the news according to their personality.{{Vgversion|TS2S}}{{Vgversion|TS3S}}
