Mega Weather Maker v4 includes a Mega Sound Booster. Fog and SimCloud functions require separate accessory purchase. v4.3 now available in store.
To see a demo, visit my store at the SLurl indicated.
If you own a sim, this product only costs a fraction of your monthly tier. Get it now and experience the difference!
NOTE: If your sim uses a lot of particles already, DO NOT PURCHASE THIS PRODUCT. The rain, snow and cloud effects are particle effects. As the number of particles in the sim (and area of coverage) increases, particle effects will appear less dense, and may disappear periodically ("particle starvation"). Results may vary depending on graphics card and viewer settings.
PRIM COUNT
- Included in this box are 2 styles of the control panel: Basic (3 prim), Master (6 prim)
- Each emitter is 9 prims, and can generate either clouds, or precipitation (rain/snow)
-- 50x50m area requires 1 emitter
-- 100x100m area requires 4 emitters
-- 150x150m area requires 9 emitters
-- 200x200m area requires 16 emitters
-- 250x250m area requires 25 emitters.
If both clouds and precipitation are required at the same time, double the number of emitters are required.
PERMISSIONS
- Control panel and emitters: no modify, yes copy, no transfer
- Mega sound booster: yes modify, yes copy, no transfer
UPGRADE POLICY
Customers who own the Really Useful Big Weather Maker or MWM v3.3 need only pay the price difference to upgrade/buy the Mega Weather Maker v4.
CUSTOMISATION SERVICE
- Replacement of the textures for the clouds, rain or snow for you with your own textures : 500L fee
- Customised emitter linkset: 1000L fee
SCRIPT PERFORMANCE
- High performance low lag scripting used in the development of this product
- Each emitter only has 1 script (0.003ms - 0.004ms) to cover area of 50m x 50m
- Control panel only has 1 script (0.004ms)
- In comparison, the Damani weather system uses 48 scripts to cover a 40x40m area (details available upon request). If you are a sim owner, you would know the difference of 48 scripts vs 2 scripts on sim performance, and know why so many discerning customers have now switched to the Really Useful Mega Weather Maker

I needed rain and t his system delivered
I had a serious need for rain on my 1/4 sim. A friend of mine had one of these he wasn't using and set it up on my property. I was stunned how easy it was (if you buy the permanent emitter also) to get it to rain outside but not INSIDE your house. The groundcover rezzers are similarly easy to setup and work nicely. All in all this is the easiest to setup and least compromise weather system I have ever used. I liked it so much I bought my own even though I didn't really need to.
As advertised, it is very efficient with sim resources. I can't really see it's effects in operation on the sim stats dialog. I live on a homestead sim which has, in theory, even less performance. But the weather system makes no noticeable impact.
Oh, and the support is top notch. If you have any problems give grace a message.
Don't you dare pass up on this one!
Do yourself a favor! Get the system! If it's price is 99,999, Contact the creator and get it! Or go to the sim and get it! The Actual cost of this system is 2899L so don't let that price expensive price tag fool you!! This is hands down, one of the best systems you'll ever get! I've tried Botanical, Though their system is amazing for what it is, along with other rain systems to where you had to place down and edit for that perfect look, it doesn't scratch the itch for Immersion! This is just a few things to set up, it is Beautiful, you have lightning! Sound! All of that! Lumo and the other new features in here will leave you speechless like it has left me! Thank you to the creator of this system :D This is the most beautiful Weather system by far! I feel so snug in my home too when I have the Rain resistance roof over head too!
Absolute must buy. Completes my home and I'm sure it will yours too.
I purchased the MEGA weather maker some time ago in search of that final touch to wrap up all the details of my homestead. Being able to simulate in real time a LARGE array of weather scenarios, I find the Weather Maker keeps my lifestyle rp experiences fresh. The Weather Maker is incredibly accommodating, offering a multitude of size and weather intensity variations to suit my needs. I definitely recommend whether you rp or not.
Amazing product - amazing support - I love this!
I purchased this after looking at several weather systems but this one caught my eye due to all the features it includes and it not only met my expectations it exceeded them. I did have a problem understanding but I messaged Grace and she was very friendly and patient in explaining everything. She is very friendly and I am not exaggerating when I say the customer support is second to none from what I've experienced. I love this product so much I invite you to send me a private message and I will show you how amazingly well it works in my skybox. I can not recommend this enough. I know there are more inexpensive weather systems you can buy but this is worth every single penny. In addition to the amazing support I learned a few new things about building under Grace's guidance. I am so thrilled with this product!! Amazing job and I look forward to seeing what's next! - ChristinaNYC
MEGA Weather Maker is Awesome!
I was looking for a great weather system for my two sims. After shopping on MP and looking in world I contacted Grace. She was very prompt in getting back to me and my question, she visited the sims to consult with me and after purchase helped me with initial setup. Her support, product, and overall business demeanor is highly professional. I wished more creators in sl had the level of service and care that Grace eludes. If you have any questions please contact me Gabe Huntsman.
