While the weather gameplay of the Sims 4 base game can be improved with expansion packs like Sims 4: Seasons or Sims 4: Snowy Escape, you can use weather cheats to gain control of the sky yourself. You can give your Sims seasonal whiplash by jumping from Summer to Winter in an instant, as well as put them through abnormal weather events. Fortunately, the Sims 4 has a comprehensive list of commands to make this happen.
