Very neat idea

I normally use the aspiration reward to keep my weather in check when I need it, but that takes space and looks out of place, so I am sure there are loooots of people out there that will love this

OMGoodness! A real weather rock! We have one in RL, but it's calibrated to the BIL's farm in Michigan; we live in Florida... So, it's not very accurate

I can't wait to load this in my game and try it out! YAY!

Good stuff! I'm tempted to use the one for hail/firestorm on Alpha Base, a space colony..hmm..hope the inhabitants have steel helmets!

Great work!

What an intriguing idea. This has so many possibilities my mind boggles. I have a holiday destination that I'd like to have permanently snowy and was wondering if these wonderful objects will work on community lots?

Well...you've inspired several new lot creations from me now and made my download folder weep. I love you for it.

Oh wow, this is amazing! There's totally going to be a chance of firestorms when visit the ruins on Twikki Island now.

Thank you all for the encouragment!

The other reason I started this project was to have the possibility of no weather at all on my underground (under the mountain) lots.

By the buddha, i can force firestorm for my wizards without weather controller. Thanks a lot :D

Does force firestorm work on community lots likes the others ?

You're welcome. Yes, all the controllers, including the firestorm, will work automatically on all lots. The only difference with firestorms is that you might want to have several controllers spaced around the lot so as to spread the firestorm effect around. These could be all firestorm controllers if you want firestorms on the lot all the time, or a mixture with other controllers (such as Seasonal) if you want a lesser chance of firestorms.

(Why isn't this a Picked Upload?) Ah, I always wanted to have perpetual snow on some lots. This is so much better than the weather machine. And there's nothing like a good rainstorm when you need one.
Thank you, David!

Thank you!!! I am sick to death of having to use the achievement award to get the results I want! I have a few winter themed lots and it never snows when I want it to so this is perfect!

Although this upload is basegame compatible, the controllers are only functional for weather control if Seasons is installed. Without Seasons there is no weather.

However, the menu option to Display Shadows or Hide Shadows around the shrub or rock controller is a purely cosmetic one, and available even without Seasons.

BTW, welcome to the MTS community!
