Why an eternal summer at all worlds?
Bring seasons to base game but..... if Seasons not installed:
1 - When start new game, no screen to select season
2 - Seasons are fixed, an eternal summer or inter or fall or spring
3 - Divide the sim planet in 4 regions for that:
3a - Desert: Del Sol Valley - Oasis Srpings - Strangerville - Sulani: Always summer
3b - Countyard: Windemburg - Henford - Brindletown - Briechester - Selvadorada: Always spring
3c - Highlands: Mt. Komorebi - Forgotten Hollow - Granite Falls - Glimmerbrook: Always winter
3d - City: San Myshuno - Willow Creek - Newcrest - Evergreen: Always fall

There is no country on the RL planet we're on that doesn't experience more than one season. Case in point: We should all by now realize Del Sol Valley is based on Los Angeles, CA. While it is a desert, it does rain there (although not often enough to stave off CA's almost perpetual drought conditions). Having no change in the seasons is depressing, at best. Being from Southern California I joke about its two seasons; Hot and Hotter. I now live in a state wherein I get to realize the four seasons. I like it here much better. Even the Middle East, as hot and arid it is, has mean winters.

I do agree that perhaps the time has come to have seasons be part of the Base Game, up front, but not to trap different worlds into one eternal season. You shouldn't have to move your Sim family just to experience a change in the weather. I would hate the same season as much as I hated the eternal summer mode the Base game has us locked into.
