Celsius and Fahrenheit
Any way to change between Celsius and Fahrenheit in-game? As a European I can't understand the Fahrenheit system in the least and would greatly prefer being able to switch to the Metric System.

Until then:

100+ = why do people actually live in Arizona (was 110+ all week on a recent visit)?

90+ = uncomfortably hot - steering wheels in the sun start to burn

85+ = hot

75-85 = warm

72 = indoors room temperature

60s = long sleeves

50s = light jacket, sweatshirt or thermal - or just long sleeves if it's been colder for a while

40s = cold enough for a puffy if you're my wife, could be snowing in the low 40s - couple layers + light jacket is plenty for me

30s = maybe time to wear a hat if you're going to be out for a while

32ish = freezing temperature of water or 0 celsius

20s = Whether it's sunny and dry or overcast, damp and windy start to make a big difference here. Definitely hat time regardless. Construction workers start to wear sweatshirts.

teens = starting to suck - can get nasty with wind chill

single digits = wind starts to hurt your face. This is where I prefer to stay inside to anything that doesn't contribute to me making rent money.

-10 = this is about when you rub your nose and your nostril walls start to stick to each other because the mucus is freezing - outdoor parking means you're waiting a while for the car/steering-wheel to warm up

-20 = why do people even live in Minnesota/the Dakotas/Alaska?

You can change it in the options menu.

Should be under display if you scroll down somewhere next to highlight colour option if I remember correctly from the IWBUMS version.

Not on my PC at the moment but it's definitely there somewhere.

That's funny because I don't understand Celsius. 40 degrees is hot? That sounds kind of low to me. That said though the option to change it is there in the options menu. In fact the default used to be Celsius until they changed it a couple of updates ago or so.

Right. That's why it confuses me. I understand though that it's all dependent on what you're used to using. So when I think of 40 degrees, I'm thinking it's time to bust out my coat. Lol

0 is when water starts to freeze. 100°C boiling point.
Below 0 means ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ cold. Above 25 and you start sweating your ass off.

Easier to understand, though Fahrenheit isn't exactly hard to get when it's what you're used to of course.

I get that much it just messes with me a little at first. Lol

Exactly. I mean I have gotten somewhat used to Celsius just from playing other games that don't give you the option to change it. I'm just used to Fahrenheit in general is all. Like F I don't have to think about it while I have to put a little more thought into C, not being used to it and all. :)

The setting also displays the date in the correct format, either MM/DD or DD/MM. It was one of the requests I asked for a long time ago, and I even gave the code to make the change, and they implemented it. Now if it would just work on the size/weight of fish...
