Seasons refresh ideas

1. We already have the greenhouse unless you are keen about that particular style and that is what you are particularly interested in. I for one preferred the Sims 3 store style

2. Absolutely 100% agreed on

• Seasons Cycle - I absolutely miss this tool
  
• The Composter - considering all the eco conscious stuff they put in the game this seems a strange omission
  
• Hail - That was just a dumb omission
  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7BrpKF1_3SI
  
• The Pool Cleaning - This is the only extra chore besides watering house plants that I actually agree with makes sense and adds something more to do
  

3. I don't really care about mowing the lawn because I think the animations and growing grass efforts could be put towards something actually fun. I think growing grass will end up being something like the dusty floors

4. An addition of just a few Harvestables that would apply to the below juicing among other things

• Cabbage - Cabbage Rolls, Caldo, Corned Beef & Cabbage
  
• Cantaloupe
  
• Corn - Elote
  
• Cucumber - Because Pickling (Canning)
  
• Dill - for Compound Butter, Pickles, Fish, Cucumber Salad, Salmon Croquettes, German Potato Salad
  
• Ginger - Asian Recipes
  
• Grapefruit Tree
  
• Lime Tree - Juicing
  
• Mango Tree
  
• Mint - For Mint Jelly (Canning), Mint Hot Chocolate
  
• Orange Tree - Juicing, Marmalade
  
• Peach Tree
  
• Rosemary
  
• Sunflower
  
• Zucchini - Add the already existing Eggplant (Aubergine) tomato and onion and you have Ratatouille. But its regularly found in Kebabs
  

5. I would make the suggestion to also have these things

  http://simscommunity.info/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/ts3_weatherstone_fog.jpg
  
  
• A return from Sims 3 Wildflowers and Allergies - During spring, there is a 25% chance to find wildflowers around the town. Wildflowers grow for 5 days before they wither and other plants grow there. Wildflowers can be sold for up to §600. Sims can pick these wildflowers, just like they can collect insects and metals. However, wildflowers can cause allergies, which gives the Sim a negative moodlet, so it is advisable to first go to the local hospital and get an allergy shot for §200.

• Update the Birdbath the Birdbath in Sims 4 is an object that has no objective use. You can place it in a garden but you nothing else you can do with it. I contend that the object itself is cute but it would be nice to have a few interactions to make it feel more alive. If a modder can do this...

• Separate out Cherry Pie from the "Fruit Pie" under baking and give it a beautiful lattice crust I've always thought it was lame that they bunched Strawberry, Cherry, Blueberry and pear as a "fruit pie". Could have given each one a cool look.

• I also thing the auto-light on the Fireplace should only light when its cold if Seasons is installed. Having it light when its hot is silly.
  
• Bird Watching - This was an activity from Sims 2 and I still love it. Not exciting but very cute in context. I say add various bird calls for them to take notes on and figure out what makes them and a set of binoculars and you have the makings of a cute group activity.
