'''''[[Precipitation]]''''' is a game mechanic first introduced in ''[[The Sims 2: Seasons]]'' and ''[[The Sims Castaway Stories]]'', and later reintroduced in ''[[The Sims 3: Seasons]]'' and ''[[The Sims 4: Seasons]]''. Precipitation is a part of [[Weather (game mechanic)|weather]] and is typically a random and unpredictable event; while Sims can get weather forecasts by watching [[TV]], these predictions may be inaccurate. Precipitation can fall either as rain, hail, or [[snow]], depending on the season; snow is typically only a wintertime occurrence, while hail only falls in the summer.
'''[[Bonehilda]]''' is an [[NPC]] that was introduced in ''[[The Sims: Makin' Magic]]'', and later returned in ''[[The Sims 3: Supernatural]]'' and ''[[The Sims 4: Paranormal Stuff]]''. She can be summoned from either a special upright [[coffin]]{{Vgversion|TS:MM}}{{Vgversion|TS3:SN}} or by performing a [[Medium|seance]]{{Vgversion|TS4:PS}}.


She mainly functions as a [[maid]], with the ability to clean a Sim's house free of charge.

In [[Haunted house residential|haunted houses]]{{Vgversion|TS4:PS}}, she is able to protect the residents by fighting off a vengeful spirit known as [[Temperance]].
Precipitation can vary in intensity, accumulation, and duration; heavy precipitation tends to affect the surrounding environment more than light precipitation. For instance, heavy rainfall tends to produce [[lightning]] storms more often than light rain, while heavy hail is more likely to damage [[gardening|crops]] and injure Sims. A large-enough accumulation of snow is a prerequisite for many wintertime activities, such as making [[snowman|snowmen]] or having snowball fights.

Precipitation can be controlled to an extent using [[weather-controlling machine]]s. Precipitation affects a Sim's [[mood]], and Sims will often have [[want]]s or [[wish]]es of seeing certain types of precipitation. Some life states, such as [[PlantSim]]s, will benefit from precipitation, while others, such as [[SimBot]]s, are negatively affected by it. Although precipitation is largely benign and harmless, some forms of precipitation can kill Sims if they are heavy enough, or if Sims spend too much time outdoors. Sims are safe from all forms of precipitation while they are indoors.

Bonehilda emerging from her coffin.

Bonehilda is an NPC that was introduced in The Sims: Makin' Magic, and later returned in The Sims 3: Supernatural and The Sims 4: Paranormal Stuff. She can be summoned from either a special upright coffin[TS:MM][TS3:SN] or by performing a seance[TS4:PS].

She mainly functions as a maid, with the ability to clean a Sim's house free of charge. However, depending on the game, she can also repair broken appliances, do laundry, tend to a garden, socialize, prepare meals, and care for children. As a walking skeleton, any human maids who see her while they are working may freak out and quit their job, and house guests will generally be tense in her presence. In haunted houses[TS4:PS], she is able to protect the residents by fighting off a vengeful spirit known as Temperance.

Bonehilda will occasionally grab a drink from a nearby bar, sink or refrigerator when she has nothing else to do, which will humorously flow right through her and leave a puddle on the floor. She also seems to be a fan of the Grim Reaper, and might stop to ask him for an autograph if he shows up[TS:MM].

Removing her skeletal appearance using cheats or mods results in a Sim that resembles the Grim Reaper[TS3:SN], or a light-skinned woman with long red hair and green eyes[TS4:PS].
