'''Weather''' was introduced in the ''[[Seasons]]'' [[expansion pack]] for ''[[The Sims 2]]''. (Sims were able to [[Interests|talk]] about weather [[The Sims|long before that]], and Weather is also an [[Interests|Interest]] found in ''The Sims 2''.) There are four seasons: [[Winter]], [[Spring]], [[Summer]], and [[Autumn/Fall]]. Each season has five Sim days in it, so the full cycle runs for 20 Sim days. However, each [[neighborhood]] and [[sub-neighborhood]] has a selector, which allows the player to determine which seasons will occur there, and what order they will occur in. [[Sim]]s' moods can also change with the weather. Each season has a slightly different color cast, (e.g., winter is more desaturated, and fall has warmer, reddish tone).

Weather is available to some extent in ''[[The Sims 3]]''. With ''[[Ambitions]]'' installed, using [[buydebug]] one may purchase the "[[Fog Emitter]]" and ctrl+shift+click to enter codes. Some of these codes give effects such as rain and snow. These are not fully functional and appear to be for story-telling purposes. Here's a Dutch guide to weather in ''The Sims 3'' [http://translate.google.com/translate?js=n&prev=_t&hl=en&ie=UTF-8&layout=2&eotf=1&sl=auto&tl=en&u=http%3A%2F%2Fforum.sims3nieuws.nl%2Fviewtopic.php%3Ff%3D33%26t%3D2835 Sims3nieuws - Tutorial: Rain and Snow in the Sims 3!]

An EA employee has stated that they (the developers) would have included weather in ''[[The Sims 3: Late Night]]'', but decided to postpone it to make weather a great addition to an [[Expansion pack]] instead of a minor feature[http://www.sims3cri.com/en/game-info/ep-tools/547-anteprima-italiana-di-the-sims-3-late-night.html?start=6]
