|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 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 Control Unit''' is a lifetime reward which costs 40,000 Lifetime Happiness points. When purchased, it is placed in the inventory of the Sim that bought it. Outside of the inventory, the Climatron is a large, 4x4-sized object.
 
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.

}}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. Several upgrades exist that will help increase the chance of certain functions succeeding. If your handiness skill is low, your sim may electrocute themselves, giving them the "Seriously Fried" moodlet.
