|desc = Real, ultimate power at your fingertips! Summon storms, chill the landscape, or boil the neighbors -- accidentally of course -- with the mere flick of a switch! Ancient tribesmen had to dance, chant, and sacrifice delicious animals to wield this kind of power. But you, modern Sim, may harness the gift of science! With the Weathernaught 57X, your world will never be the same.

}}The '''Weathernaught 57X''' is an [[Aspiration reward (The Sims 2)|aspiration reward]] that was introduced in the ''[[The Sims 2: Seasons]]''. It's a weather machine that allows Sims to change the [[Weather (game mechanic)#The Sims 2: Seasons|season]], extend the current season, maintain the current season indefinitely, or [[Precipitation|change the weather]]. It has five uses, which are indicated by five lights that are visible when its antenna is open. However, if the Sim using it is not in gold or platinum [[Aspiration (The Sims 2)|aspiration]], it may cause meteors to fall on the lot for a few seconds. Luckily, if this happens, it will not use up one of the Weathernaught's five uses.▼

As the Sim using it pumps a lever, a parabolic antenna opens up. When the antenna is fully open, a bright beam shoots into the sky for a few seconds. If the Sim was changing the season, or extending the current one by a few days, the antenna will then close. If option to maintain the current season indefinitely was chosen, the antenna will remain open until someone turns off the indefinitely prolonged season.

*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 [[

The Cloud-inator is used by selecting it, choosing to either shoot a rain or snow cloud, and then deciding which available Sim to shoot the cloud at. The Sim with the Cloud-inator at hand will walk to the other Sim, aim the Cloud-inator at them and shoot a small cloud of smoke at them. The attacked Sim will panic and run around the lot for a few Sim minutes, and then the cloud of smoke will disappear.

The Climatron is used by dragging it out of the inventory and placing it somewhere on the lot. The Climatron will now have one selectable option: Change Weather. The weather can be changed to either Sunny, Hail, Snow, Rain or Fog, however the weather the neighborhood is currently experiencing will not be selectable. Once a type of weather has been selected, the Sim being directed will turn on, operate and turn off the Climatron. The selected weather appears shortly after the machine turns off.

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."
