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

⚠️WARNING: If your sim has low FPS or uses a lot of particles already, consider using the mesh rain/snow Emitter Type instead of particle-based emitters (which generate particles for clouds, rain and snow). As the number of particles in the sim, and coverage area increases, particle effects appear less dense; particles may disappear if reaches the sim limit. Visual quality of particle effects depends on viewer graphics settings, your graphics card, and FPS rate. (Ctrl-Shift-1 to see FPS, under Basic).

▸PRICE@inworld store: 2899L. To buy on MP with same price, try demo then contact me. I also run a promotion on MP (50% discount 1449L) a few times a year - ask me.

I needed rain and t his system delivered
full star full star full star full star full star Posted April 13, 2024 by brandi Szondi

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.

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!

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.

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.
