🌪️🌑 WILD WEATHER — CAREERS, ECLIPSES & FEAR UPDATE
The biggest update yet. Wild Weather started with tornadoes, grew a whole winter tier, and now adds a full storm-chasing CAREER, rare SOLAR ECLIPSES, and a fear-and-reward MOODLET system that makes every storm hit different. Here's everything the mod does now.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
🎥 METEOROLOGIST CAREER (NEW!)
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
• A fully custom 10-level career — read the skies for a living.
• At level 6 it BRANCHES into two paths:
📺 TV Weather Personality — climb from Morning Weather Anchor to National Weather Icon.
🌪️ Storm Chaser — go from Field Storm Chaser to Legendary Storm Chaser.
• Daily promotion task "Study the Forecast" — use the Check Forecast action to climb the ranks.
• Progressive pay all the way up, custom career art, and its own job-performance track.
• Find it under "Find a Job" on the phone.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
🌑 SOLAR ECLIPSES (NEW!)
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
• A rare astronomical event — the sky goes dark at midday and the streetlights flicker on.
• Any Sim caught outside witnesses it and earns the awe-struck "Witnessed a Solar Eclipse" moodlet.
• Click your Sim → Watch the Eclipse — they head outside to lie on the grass and gaze up at the sky.
• Look carelessly, though, and you might end up "Seeing Spots." 👀
• Happens on its own roughly once a Sim-year, or summon one whenever you like.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
😱 FEAR & REACTION MOODLETS (NEW!)
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
• Dread that builds and then pays off. A warning leaves Sims Uneasy; when the storm hits, anyone caught outside is downright Scared (or Freezing in a blizzard).
• Ride it out and everyone earns a proud reward buff — "Weathered the Storm" for tornadoes, "Braved the Blizzard" for winter.
• Works for both tornadoes AND blizzards, each with its own custom moodlet art.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
🌪️ TORNADOES
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
• Real severe storms roll in — dark skies, howling wind, thunder, lightning & blowing debris.
• A calm "Tornado Watch" gives you a few hours to prepare, then an URGENT siren sounds when it hits.
• Rare, natural spawns in spring & summer — or summon one whenever you like.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
❄️ BLIZZARDS & SNOW DAYS
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
• BLIZZARDS — freezing whiteout storms. Sims caught outside get dangerously cold and flee for safety, and a blizzard can knock out the power for a day or two.
• SNOW DAYS — softer, cozier snow that CANCELS SCHOOL. The kids and teens stay home while the adults still head to work.
• Both arrive naturally in winter (rare), or trigger them on command.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
🏃 PREP & SHELTER
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
• Secure Outdoor Items — send your Sim jogging around the yard to storm-proof your things (secured items survive undamaged).
• Take Shelter — one click rallies the whole household indoors; toddlers & infants get whisked safely inside.
• When a tornado hits, the family auto-heads in on its own.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
💥 DAMAGE, REPAIR & INSURANCE
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
• Storms batter your outdoor furniture over time. Click any damaged item → your Sim walks over, cleans it up, and levels Handiness.
• STORM INSURANCE — pay a weekly premium, then after a disaster file a claim (small deductible) to AUTO-REPAIR everything at once and collect a payout. No insurance? Fix it yourself.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
🔌 POWER OUTAGES
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
• Storms and blizzards can cut the power for a sim-day or two, with a "repair crew is on the way" notification before it comes back.
• On Eco Lifestyle lots, appliances lose power too — not just the lights.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
📱 CHECK THE FORECAST
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
• Click your Sim → Wild Weather → Check Forecast for a 7-day outlook — conditions, temperature, precipitation, and flags for tornado-risk and blizzard days. (It also powers your Meteorologist promotions!)
• All the click-Sim actions live tidily under their own "Wild Weather" pie-menu submenu. 🌩️
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
♿ ACCESSIBILITY & CONTROLS (NEW!)
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
• Turn off any weather type you don't want and it stays off across saves — keep the blizzards and eclipses but switch tornadoes OFF entirely (great if severe storms aren't your thing).
• Light flickering during outages can be fully DISABLED for photosensitivity, and that setting sticks too.
