PLS READ CAREFULLY AND TRY THE DEMO BEFORE BUYING.

★ For ability to have different weather scenes in one sim at the same time, check out Mega Weather Maker version 6.

▶ Rezpoint Marker for positioning at intended centre of area of effect, so you can use the control panel from anywhere in the region

▶ Mega lightning bolts that reach from 200m high in the sky to the ground

▶ SmartLightning feature detects non-phantom surfaces so the lightning does not pass through your building

▶ Snow fall height of max 50m

▶ Two styles of weather emitters with slightly different visual effects on the clouds

▶ Cloud emitters can oscillate or revolve to create more natural/random looking clouds

▶ Security menu: Lightning strike an avatar you choose anywhere in the region, eject/temp ban/perm ban

▶ Cycle menu: Auto cycle mode to switch weather scenes (from fair to thunderstorm) in 15 min cycle or 60 min cycle

▶ Set access control to owner only, group members or anyone to use it

** Compatible with the really useful Rain-Resistant Roof (sold separately) - stop putting up with weather systems which rain inside your house

This box includes a Mega Sound Booster. Fog, ground cover and SimCloud functions require separate accessory purchase.

If you own a sim, this product only costs a fraction of your monthly tier. Get it now and experience the difference!

For demo, visit my store at the SLurl indicated.

NOTE: If your sim uses a lot of particles already, do not buy 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 your graphics card, viewer settings, and your sim. If the FPS on your land is below 20 usually, this product may not be for you. (Press Ctrl-Shift-1 to see your FPS, under Basic).

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. eg. 100x100m needs 36-72 prims.

If you feel that you cannot spare more than 40 prims on your land for the weather maker, please consider the Big Weather Maker or the Mega Weather Maker Value Pack instead (see related items below).

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 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, a competitor 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

CUSTOMER SERVICE POLICY
For any product issues, please drop me a notecard. I log into SL almost every day, so would usually be able to get back to you within 48 hours. Buyers who choose to review the product rather than contact me for help when they need help will not be eligible for any free product upgrades offered to customers from time to time.

The two best things about this system: (1) The ease of setup and operation. (2) The creator's responsiveness to questions. My only regret is I didn't install this system sooner. Fantastic weather effects.

Creator Is Super Friendly. Answers Questions. She took time to come to my sim to help when needed. Highly Recommend Her Products. If you have been eye balling this system. Just Do it cause that's what I did. Just watch your prims. But you will be sorry if you don't get this :P

Holy Prim Hell!
full star empty star empty star empty star empty star Posted November 04, 2013 by HumiliateMe92

First off I should start by saying this product worked beautifuly and the effects were pretty great. HOWEVER it is advertised incorecctly becuase it takes up well over 3 prims. When the system is running it took every last prim I had left (390) and still wanted more. Not happy with this system becuase of this.

I've been eyeballing this product for quite a while, tried the demo in-world several times, and decided to go ahead and treat myself to it today. I love a good rainy day, and this weather maker makes it come to life in SL. The rain resistant roof (sold separately) is also worth the buy. Love the features and settings... very happy with this purchase!

Totally Awesome Weather Maker
full star full star full star full star full star Posted January 12, 2013 by Sherry Osbourne

This system is totallly awesome! It works beautifully full coverage even to the corners. A great prim saver too. By the time I took all my snowball prims down which were 13 prims each my available prims went from 380 something up to 629 available prims. I'm not complaining that gives me more prim for more deco. MEGA Weather Maker is the way to go. I highly recommend this product. And the creator is very helpful. Speedy reply to questions. Fantastic all the way around. You want a good weather system on your sim...this is the one. Smooth sailing ....sometimes ;) Watch out for the lightening :)

Nice Options
full star full star full star full star empty star Posted December 09, 2012 by Alaeric

For the additional functionality of this product I give it 5 stars...and the snow is amazing! But I don't use the rain emitter, as it seems to fall in square groupings. I have found much cheaper emitters with far better rain particle effects. Do they allow you to control weather sim wide? Of course not! That's the beauty of this product. If one needs sim-wide weather control, this is the ideal tool. If one just wants great looking rain, with decent sound....you might look elsewhere and be better served. I'm sorry...I feel bad because this is the first time I've ever NOT given a perfect review of a product I purchased, but I'm knocking off one star due to the rain. If an update is ever available for this product with better particle effects, I'll be first in line to purchase it.
