I recently got myself a new laptop that can play the sims to full specs, and I find myself enjoying each season much more than ever before. I'm also finding myself taking pictures of the seasons like crazy which led me to wondering, what seasons do you all prefer playing in?
Right now I'm in winter and I am very much enjoying the lovely scenes it has brought to my game :) https://66.media.tumblr.com/81ac1bd4bb7307d243f11797dc3f9301/tumblr_pkhbf8rNgO1xq9hdmo3_1280.jpg

Interesting! Never set up a storyline like that in my game. You’ll get to enjoy the prettiness of summer for quite a while then :P

My other lappy couldn’t handle them well either. I had all the weather types turned off and the only Seasons allowed were summer and sometimes spring. Worth it to have a working game :)
But summer is always pretty! Nice bright colors for you and your simmies to enjoy. Lol

Oh wow, I love how winter looks there! So pretty <3

Not only is it a beautiful season to me in real life, but it definitely shines in the Sims well. <3
Fall is second. :)
For me, Fall is my favorite IRL. I love the cool bite to the air and the pretty colors that come from the trees. Winter has so much prettiness in the Sims though that it’s definitely my favorite. Except it just turned spring in my game so that will probably become my favorite soon enough :p

My favourite season is probably summer (I know borinnng) but as someone who lives in a country that hardly experiences summer, I love seeing my sims around the pool and swimming in the sea.
Nothing wrong with loving summer! It’s such a pretty season :)

I'm playing on a Nitro 5.Could be because I have a lot of CC in my game.XD
Ohhh I love those pics! You’ve already read my numerous sentiments on Fall. Lol! But gah, your pics look so lovely. Those amber trees bring such a cozy feeling to your game <3
As for my laptop, it has a 16 gig ram size but it also has what’s called an Optane memory which is like a cache memory that loads commonly accessed files faster. I’m not even sure exactly how or why but all I know is that my game runs pretty well. Lol. It doesn’t come with an optical drive but I have a workaround for that.
Until recently I would say my favourite season in the sims was summer. Then I took some pics of my CAW project in the snow and to be honest I liked the result very much. Please bear in mind this is a work in progress.

@Bettyboop55 I find your world to be absolutely lovely! I know you say it’s just a work in progress but I think anyone who makes worlds in CAW has a lot of talent (and patience lol). I really love that mill by the river :)
@becks1112 I agree! Although since you’re a winter lover then you’re in the right place. This seems to be a Winter Loving Support Thread :P
@Goulsquash Fall is definitely one of the prettiest seasons. I haven’t really fully explored all the different activities that each season brings which I think I must rectify soon :o :p
@Springfairy556 And you say that you don’t take pretty scenery type pics! :o You’re game looks so pretty!
@Nikkei_Simmer Is that also Cape Garner? It’s so beautiful. I also really love when there is a heavy snowstorm in the game. It almost mirrors the feeling IRL when you’re warm and cozy in the house and it’s ice cold and snowy outside.
Although I’m afraid I’m being fickle here because I think Spring is about to become my favorite season now that it has officially begun in my game :o :D https://66.media.tumblr.com/dbd3fa6c28d6cac1decc1a7c10b6c1a8/tumblr_pkhbggCvV51xq9hdmo3_1280.jpg

Yes, that's Cape Garner. It's so picturesque in the winter time. :)
