The player can place a lightning rod on the lot which will reduce the chance of a Sim or tree being struck by lightning. The weather can be controlled by using the "Ignis Ex-Machina", a story reward object in the game that is identical to the [[Weathernaught 57X]] from ''[[The Sims 2: Seasons|Seasons]]''.
