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.

There are multiple pre-made holidays, and players are able to create their own or edit/delete the pre-made ones. The calendar, another new feature, includes the upcoming weather forecasts, days, birthdays and the four pre-made seasonal holidays alongside the ones created by the player. Players can add custom holidays, delete or edit pre-loaded ones, or manually replicate them so that they occur on a different date.
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.
