Winter and summer just got a lot more dangerous. This drop adds two brand-new survival systems to Wild Weather β one for the coldest nights, one for the hottest days β plus the usual round of polish. Read on. βπ₯

βοΈ NEW: FROZEN & BURST PIPES
βββββββββββββββββββββ
When a blizzard rolls in, your pipes are on the clock.
β’ π§ HARD FREEZE WATCH β the storm hits and you get a heads-up notification. You've got a little while before the cold sinks in.
β’ π± PIPES FREEZE β leave them unprotected and every toilet, sink, tub and shower on the lot freezes solid. Nobody's flushing, washing, or showering until they thaw.
β’ π₯ A PIPE BURSTS β ignore frozen pipes for too long and one bursts. Now you've got a real mess, and there's no waiting it out β it needs a repair.
β’ π§ GET IT FIXED β call the in-game repair service, or fix it yourself if your Sim is handy. (Repairing a frozen pipe before it bursts saves you the disaster.)
β’ βοΈ NATURAL THAW β pipes that only froze (and didn't burst) thaw on their own once the blizzard passes and it warms back up.
π° HOW TO PREVENT IT:
Before a hard freeze, click any Sim β Wild Weather β "Drip the Sinks." They'll walk to a sink, leave the tap trickling, and that running water keeps the whole house's pipes from freezing overnight β completely free. Just remember to do it again for the next cold snap!

π₯ NEW: HEAT WAVES
βββββββββββββββββββββ
Summer can now turn deadly.
β’ π‘οΈ A heat wave cranks the temperature to blazing β this is REAL heat danger, not just an uncomfortable moodlet. Sims left out in it can overheat and, yes, even suffer heatstroke.
β’ π Caught-outside Sims automatically flee for the safety of indoors.
β’ βοΈ Inside, they'll crank the AC (if you have the Seasons cooling options) and grab cold drinks to cool down.
β’ π₯΅ Reaction moodlets: Sims who tough it out get "Sweltering," and those who make it through earn "Braved the Heat."
β’ π’ A "Heat Advisory" warning fires so you're never caught off guard.
Heat waves roll in on their own during summer, or summon one any time with a cheat.
