Description
Real, ultimate power at your fingertips. Summon storms, chill the landscape, or boil the neighbours - 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.

Additional Notes
The Change Season To... interaction can only change the season to one that is currently set in the neighbourhood season chooser, i.e. if you don't currently have a winter set for your neighbourhood, for example, you cannot change the season to winter; you can of course go back to the neighbourhood, use the Season changer to change one of the seasons to winter, go back to your lot and you can now change the season to winter. As when changing seasons normally, it can take a day or two for the new season to come fully into effect.
The Prolong Season interaction allows you to prolong your current season for one day, three days or forever. Hover over the sims season indicator to see the new time left. If you prolong a season forever, the machine stays on indefinitely. You can use the Turn off interaction to return the season to normal.
Use the Create Weather interaction to create a storm of your choice, the machine remains on during the storm but you can manually shut it off if you don't want to wait for the storm to pass.
If you see the machine issue a black beam, you can bet that your interaction has failed; balls of fire will soon descend from the sky sending your sims into panic if they ignite any objects. Best call the fire brigade if you haven't put smoke detectors outside.
