Seasons Cheat: Control Winter, Spring, Summer, And Fall
In addition to giving you the ultimate cheat sheet for controlling the weather, we also have a list of cheats that give you control over the seasons in the game.
Yep. In The Sims, it only takes a second to change the seasons. For summer, fall, winter, and spring, these are the cheats:

Seasons Cheat: Set The Length Of The Seasons
You can not only change the seasons, but you can also change how long each season lasts.
This is especially useful if you want to make a season last longer than usual.
Type one of the following codes to change how long each season lasts:
- seasons.set_season_length <0> – This will let you set the season duration to 7 days.
- seasons.set_season_length <1> – This will let you set the season duration to 14 days.
- seasons.set_season_length <3> – This will let you set the season duration to 28 days.
Changing The Weather Without Cheats
You can also change the seasons and weather in the game without using cheat codes. Here are the steps to follow:
1. In-Game Settings

The game lets you change the weather and the time of year. Click Game Options on the game’s menu.
Then click on the tab called Seasons. In the first part of the game, you can choose how long each season lasts. Keep in mind that changing the length will change where holidays and other events are on your sim’s calendar.
In the second and third sections, you can turn on some rain and snow options, giving you control over how bad the weather is. In the last section, you’ll be asked if you want to give sims weather effects.
If you check this box, your sims could die from bad weather if you aren’t careful.
2. Purchasing A Weather-Changing Device

The next thing is Dr. June’s device for changing the weather. In Build Mode, you can buy this weather-changing machine for 1,500 simoleons.
It looks like a big, rusty machine with knobs, controls, and an antenna. If you buy this cool tool, your sim can change the weather whenever they want to.
But if you want them to be able to change the seasons with this device, they would have to raise their Handiness skill and upgrade it.
Dr. June’s Weather-Changing Device has eight ways to improve it. Make sure that your sims’ Handiness skill is at level 8 so that they can upgrade the device’s Temporal Modifier Unit. This will give them full control over winter, spring, summer, and fall in the game.
Change things up by letting sims dance in the rain, play in the snow, feel the sun on their skin, or make a big storm in their neighborhood.
As long as you have this ultimate weather cheat sheet, you can make the weather do anything you want.
