There are a number of weather systems you can buy - I suggest you do a search on X-street to get an idea of what is available and at what price.
I can remember seeing a very sophisticated one by Damianos Thetan and also a neat little one in LuskWood for sale.

Damianos Thetan makes the best "weather generator" I have seen so far.
The problem with all of them, however, is that particles used for raindrops, snowflakes, etc, can't be stopped by your roof prims. So when it rains over your house, you have a VERY leaky roof!
This can be worked around, if you are VERY careful in laying out your generators. Place 4 of them so they "box in" the house, raining on the yard but not on the roof. Place one more above the house, and adjust it upward until the rain particles "evaporate" a short distance above your roof. Not perfect, but I have made some anazing snowstorms outside my castle that way.

Sounds cool...I've seen a thunder cloud raining and lightning but it was one single cloud over a small parcel and the rest of the land was sunny.
Was the resident trying to say something? Lol.

Then wrap a scarf around your forehead. Then tuck 2 or 3 turkey feathers in it at the back. Next get a tom-tom. Now go outside, beat on the tom-tom and dance wildly while you chant “let it rain, let it rain, let it rain....”.  Sorry I just couldn't resist. Seriously I believe there are scripts or estate settings that can make it rain. |
