The Weathernaught 57X can be used to change the current in-game season and weather. It has a limited number of uses of 5 times. If successful (depending on your Sim's Aspiration Meter), the weather or season will switch to whichever you chose. The failure of using the object (your Sim's Aspiration Meter is too low) results in a rain of fire, which sends your Sims into a panicked state and may set objects on fire.
