The ultimate weather machine for your sim:
- Low prim elegant design for control panel and weather emitters.
- Low lag scripting design - only 1 script per emitter (see below for details).
- AND the only weather maker in SL which is smart enough to know when not to rain/snow indoors **

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.

WEATHER EFFECTS
------------------------------
▶ Control weather elements individually or activate quick weather scenes
• Clouds
• Stormy clouds
• Light Rain
• Tropical Rain
• Light Snow
• Snow
• Lightning
• Thunderstorm
• Sleet
• Hail
• Blizzard
• Aurora borealis

▶ Optimal coverage area: 50m x 50m, 100m x 50m, 100m x 100m (bigger areas up to 250x250m possible, but particle effects will diminish)

▶ 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

▶ Fun menu: rain fruits; rain cats and dogs etc.

▶ 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.

full star full star full star full star full star Posted November 11, 2012 by Gabrielle Somersley

In our town Somersley Estates we have used several weather systems, but by far this is the best, and most realistic..The options are amazing, and the lag is almost non existant:D which is super important especially in our town as we hate lag:) From thunderstorms to cloudy days and snow you cannot go wrong with this system. The optional add ons are also amazing. So be user to use this, it should cost way more in my opinon for all it does:) I cant wait to see what else this creator brings us soon;) 5 stars and a A plus rating!

Best weather system yet
full star full star full star full star full star Posted August 02, 2012 by roadbargemaster

Very easy to use. No complicated nc or scripting, just put a control panel out and your off. The plug - ins are great. My system does not let rain, snow go into my house ( rain resistant roof ), the rain bounces off the ground and snow accumulates ( ground rezzer ) and I even have it set to where I live in RL ( RL 2 SL converter ) I'll be watching for updates. AWESOME

Recieved 2 instead of 1
full star full star full star full star full star Posted July 26, 2012 by Dennis1944

Somehow I must have clicked twice on the buy... or whatever because I ended up getting and paying for two of them. I only need one and since it's no transfer I can't give one away. I would appreciate a refund for one of them. I actually have not tried the item yet. The rating a gave it is from the other reviews which all were good that I read.
Thank you

The above is an earlier review I posted of the product.
I was contacted by Grace and she gave me a full refund for the second one I bought with no hassle at all.
I have since had a chance to use the weather maker and I must say it works great. I would highly recommend this product.
Again I give it 5 stars :)

full star full star full star full star full star Posted December 17, 2011 by Rynja Zephaniah

bad weather is always better than "no weather" this works pretty well.
Purchased with the roof prims. And got instant support by the creator when had a question.
