Personally, the weather effects in the condo environment tab feel a little lackluster and I feel they deserve a much needed makeover as they really haven’t been updated in so long, and could use a fresh look. Especially the rain as it’s a tad un-noticable and doesn’t really fit with the feel of Tower much anymore.
While I agree for the most part, rain absolutely does fit the game. I would be legitimately sad if it had been removed, because it lets Condo creators choose the mood they want for their place, unless you just meant a rework, in which case, that is understandable. Either way however, Tower really doesn’t have one, set mood or vibe - Sure, the main one is arguably a sunny vacation island with activities and places to visit, but you also get special moods/vibes if you are on the map at night, it’s Halloween, Christmas, etc., even though some might argue that special, seasonal events do not count. In addition to that, removing content from your game is arguably one of the worst things that a game developer can do, unless they offer replacements for removed content, so I therefore believe that a rework, rather than removal of anything is much more suitable for this.
Nowhere in their original post did they mention removing rain entirely.
The current weather effects are pretty ugly; the rain looks more like globs of hand sanitizer than rain.

i love the ability to change the weather in our condos and i’d be mad if they ever removed it, but like goopgoop said the current effects are not good, and they do need an overhaul to be honest, which is why i want them to give us some new ones instead of the old particles we’re stuck with at the moment
That is completely fair. I think I looked too far into this, but that is entirely on me. Still, while I don’t agree entirely on how the weather effects look, I can definitely understand what you are saying. The main suggestion is a good one, which is why I also gave it my vote, next to others, so the whole thing was just a misunderstanding, which I am terribly sorry for.
