๐Ÿ› ๏ธ WILD WEATHER โ€” Bug Fix & Polish Update

Thank you to everyone who's been reporting issues, this one's all about fixes, plus a couple of nice touches from your feedback. Please re-download and replace both files (WildWeather.package + WildWeather.ts4script).

๐ŸŒช๏ธ STORM MOODLET FIXES

โ€ข FIXED: the storm "warning" moodlet could reset its timer and linger for 12โ€“15 hours, so you'd get a long stretch of "severe weather on the way" even after the tornado had already passed. The countdown now runs properly and clears when the storm ends.

โ€ข FIXED: random tornadoes (and blizzards) weren't "finishing" cleanly โ€” the reward moodlet ("Weathered the Storm" / "Braved the Blizzard") sometimes never showed up. They now wind down correctly and hand out the reward.

โ€ข NEW: a "Riding Out the Storm" moodlet (with its own icon) now appears for Sims safely indoors while a tornado rages โ€” so you get a proper storm-time reaction instead of the stale warning text. Sims caught outside still get "Caught in the Storm!"

โ€ข Storm power outages turn off the LIGHTS on any lot.

โ€ข โ€ผ๏ธ To make APPLIANCES lose power too (stoves, computers, TVs, etc.), you need the ECO LIFESTYLE pack installed โ€” that's the pack that lets a mod actually cut appliance power. Without it, the outage is a lights-only effect and Sims can still cook/use electronics.

โ€ข The in-game outage notification now says this clearly so there's no confusion.

๐Ÿ”ง "BAD TUNING" ERROR FIXED

โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”

โ€ข FIXED: mod checkers (like Better Exceptions) were flagging WildWeather.package as "bad tuning." The Meteorologist career had leftover references to another mod's resources and to pack-locked work uniforms, which threw errors for anyone missing those packs/mods. I'm working further into solving this but it's a harmless bug.

โ€ข This never affected gameplay, but the error is gone.

1. Requires The Sims 4: SEASONS. (Eco Lifestyle optional โ€” enables appliance power loss.)

2. Delete your old WildWeather files and drop in BOTH new ones (package + ts4script).

3. Script mods enabled, fully restart the game.

Thanks again for all the reports and patience ๐Ÿ’™ Keep 'em coming!
