This is great! Here in Strangetown (Phoenix, AZ, Sonoran Desert, USA) summer lasts for half the year (even during "winter" temperatures are warm) and rainfall is very infrequent and irregular, often less than 90 mm (approx. 3.5") annually. This mod is something I've wanted since...wow...for 20 years. When playing hot desert neighbourhoods (where saguaros grow), I set the seasons to summer- summer- autumn- spring; to also be able to have it rain maybe once every other season would be perfect. Maybe set it to summer: 1%, spring: 5%, and autumn: 5%? Can you offer any advice on how that would manifest in game? Also, is there a way to make this into an actual mod that could be put into downloads before playing deserts and removed before playing other types of 'hoods?

Will this work with crumplebottom_marky4444's Wetter Winter and Spring, Hotter Summer, Cooler Fall mod? That mod uses 2 BHAVs from what I saw in SimPE.

Yes it will be fine as long as they aren’t BCONS.

You guessed wrong. You place the file in downloads

Maybe to insert in neighborhood package?

Youll have to edit it for each neighborhood if you want different effects. Did you read the description?

I read but I do not quite understand how to apply effects to particular neighborhood ¯\_(ツ)_/¯Oh I misreaded. So it is global mod for the each neighborhood in the game.

Hmm then I think it's kind of use for switch between nothern/southern hemisphere.
Technically it's hard to relate for me such percentage are working because, if you said 20% hail chance, there are 5 days of season and it is 100% so 20% now counts as one day of hail. But my game seems like roll the dice for the each day and hail might never happen. It is snowing at winter, it is raining at autumn, and it is dry for summer and spring. I am barely see hail in my game.

I play 20 days a season, so 20 chances to get hail or snow But you can edit the percentages as much as you like. If you want to play 5 days a season, then just make the percentages higher
