This one's one of those things that has gone weird in my game and I'm wondering if anyone else has run into it.

One of my lots is keeping the light coating of snow all year round and I can't seem to be able to get rid of it. All the weather works fine year round but the snow won't go away. It even affects the neighborhood view. In build mode, the grass comes back and the snow goes away.

This lot was salvaged from a prior game gone kablooie. It was one of several I managed to extract from the trashed game. Several were saved in various seasons but this is the only one that's giving me this problem. It was last saved in the winter. Anyway, I've tried the obvious stuff like changing the season to winter and then spring again with the aspriation weather machine object and letting the seasons cycle through. But the snow won't go away. It also tends to crash alot but that might be to an object I haven't found yet. It also gives me a "Cannot create the 3D device" error most of the time between the the neighborhood screen and the lot opening but hitting the space bar clears that and the lot opens ok.

Anybody got any suggestions?
