It is a bit of an inconvenience right now to build cause you have to wait for seasons to change to see your build in different seasons.I know you can build going in from world map but sometimes you gotta try the routing with sims or you're playing the game and wanna build something quickly. Doing it from the world map can be very inconvenient for someone who plays and builds.Also, to change the weather/season every time you wanna build is inconvenient too. Limiting unnecessarily. I like seasons but it greatly limited building for me. Especially with landscaping.Maybe there is a way I haven't figured out yet, to do it conveniently.So I'd like a seasons toggle button in build mode if possible.I added the poll just to see how many people would agree with this.

I do build and find it quite frustrating having to wait for the weather to change, I have set up a separate save file for my building but sometimes you have to wait for the rain to stop or the cloudy weather to leave which can take several Sim days..some homes I haven't been playtesting because of this issue, but homes with use of terrain tools I have to check before sharing. (I realize you can change the weather from which ever season you want using a cheat which I do use, but that is not guaranteeing good weather)

I don't have Seasons so I'm genuinely surprised this isn't a feature. We already have a morning,evening, and night toggle so a clear skies one shouldn't be too crazy.

I especially dislike doing the landscaping during the winter and fall seasons, the plants look so lifeless and dreary. It's hard to see what looks good.

Nothing to complain about here, an excellent ideal, is an excellent ideal.?

The worst problem I've had with weather while building was when I was trying to figure out what was wrong with a roof section during a blizzard. A toggle would definitely have been helpful then. I know how to change the season, but didn't feel like doing it in that save just for the one build.

One thing I'd like is the function we had in Sims 3 where we could set the game to place furnishings according to the season. Obviously we have the decoration box which lets us change outside decorations but it would be great if we could auto-set the Christmas tree to appear only in winter, and the same with wreaths and anything else we fancied.

Yes, emphatically! I've been putting seasonal items in and out of inventory manually.

Yes, it's annoying when you want to change landscape in winter. Everything is covered up!

Yes, this would definitely be a handy feature to have. I've been waiting several sim days just to take some photos of my builds where the plants outside look half decent instead of half dead!
