Query About A Possible Rain and Puddles Hack or Mod

Well, I can't think of any outright direct effects that rain should have, other than perhaps causing sims to rapidly become more cold if it's cold
Or a decrease in comfort? Surely being outside in the rain for prolonged periods would do that.
Personally I would love to see a "no socializing in the rain" hack, perhaps a variant of autosoc where they break off the conversation if it starts to rain (or maybe only if it's raining hard?) How many people do you know who stand outside chatting in the pouring rain?

The hack I envisage would cause sims, upon noticing the rain, realise that if they are outside, then they're getting wet. Detting wet would amount to a slow decrease in hygiene (it would be a neat trick if this could be reversed by going and staying indoors long enough but I don't expect miracles).
Wouldn't it increase hygiene, at least to a point?
Acid rain, baby. Although, I guess you could argue that acid rain would make you cleaner, too.
I like the idea of rain reducing your comfort, as Karen says. This is super nitpicky, but it would be okay with me if they were out in light or warm rain, and were repelled by cold rain. I'm surprised EA didn't code it so that sims had a want to play in the rain. I know some people like that.

Umbrella hack would be cool, although knowing TS2 it would become like the infamous stuck chess arm syndrome.
Ambular:
I think a decrease in comfort makes sense--unless perhaps the Sim is really hot? :)
Mirelly:
Yes a decrease in comfort would be my preferred option. Getting wet is uncomfortable ... the wet clothes stick to you and it's cold to wear. I still think puddle jumping should decrease hygiene. Puddles are not potable water, they are little more than mud ... well, puddles that are worth jumping in are ::) But for heaven's sake let's have something to get them out of the rain, especially as almost all the rain I've had is accompanied by lightning ... I mean what kind of idiot stays outside during a thunder storm!
