Line 1: {{Era\|TS2S\|CS\|TS3S\|TS4S}} '''Weather machines''' are special devices that can be used to control and manipulate the [[Weather (game mechanic)\|weather]], season, and [[precipitation]]. The machines appear in ''[[The Sims 2: Seasons]]'', ''[[The Sims Castaway Stories]]'', ''[[The Sims 3: Seasons]]'', ''[[The Sims 4: Seasons]]'', and ''[[The Sims FreePlay]]''. ~~Each game, with the exception of~~ ''The Sims 2: Seasons'' and ''The Sims Castaway Stories'', ~~has~~share athe ~~different~~same model~~, but all of them have essentially similar functions, namely to manipulate the weather elements in the game~~. ==The Sims 2: Seasons== Line 32: The chance card for the University Guest Lecturer (level 6) position in the [[Education#The Sims 2\|Education]] career refers to the Sim giving a lecture on the ethics of weather control devices, and being asked to state his/her opinion. The Weathernaught 57X also appears in ''[[The Sims Castaway Stories]]'' as the "Ignis Ex-Machina". The player will obtain it at the end of the story from the helicopter pilot. Since "ignis" means "fire" in Latin, the name can be translated as "Fire from the machine", and may be a reference to [[Wikipedia:Deus ex machina\|"Deus ex machina"]]. *Although it's a story reward in ''Castaway Stories'', it has 5 uses, just as in ''The Sims 2: Seasons''. It's a very expensive object, which costs about 15,000 [[~~resources~~resource]]s. Players can choose clear sky, rain, or hail as the weather, and can also prolong the seasons. ==The Sims 3: Seasons== Line 98: \|size = 3x3 }} Weather-controlling machines return in ''[[The Sims 4: Seasons]]'' as buyable objects. They can be used to change the current weather, temperature, and (after upgrading) even the season. Upgrades will also increase the likelihood of certain functions succeeding. Sims with a low [[handiness]] skill may [[Shock\|electrocute]] themselves upgrading the machine. A Sim can also be electrocuted if they use the machine in the rain. In ''[[The Sims 4: StrangerVille]]'', when the player advances the story, the "strange weather" in [[StrangerVille]] cannot be altered by the weather machine. A hover message will display as: "this weather is just too strange for the weather machine." {{Expand}} {{clr}} ==The Sims FreePlay== The Weather Machine is the main part of the [~~http~~https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l_yEP_o-KGM Climate Control update] for ''The Sims FreePlay'', which was released June 6, 2013. In May 2013, a friendly green alien, [https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=531857063516265&set=a.284835984885042.64654.284709311564376&type=1 Osiris], landed in Sim Town, giving the players a certain amount of limited time goals they needed to complete in order to get limited edition teleporter. As this event finished, the following notification appeared, revealing a tip: Line 117 ⟶ 119: The machine can be bought in the Home Store under the ''Electronics'' tab, for 70,000 [[Simoleon]]s, and can only be placed once per household.
