@unicornpiggiez Unfortunately, this so-called feature is BY DESIGN. Here is how a YouTuber reports it: https://youtu.be/e3IVTKxkHJs

EA claims that making it perpetually fall in Ravenwood is because of vibes or whatever.

IMO, they didn’t want to deal with the programming challenge of ensuring the rebirth pond doesn’t freeze over the winter, because it has to be available to use at all times. The easier thing is to just turn off the weather in the whole world. That’s just my guess, though.

I don’t know why they didn’t just say the world was fictional if they weren’t going to allow it to have weather like the real place it’s supposed to represent.

I understand the wish for snow but can we please stop assuming rude things like "the devs didn't want to deal with it". There is no reason to automatically assume the choice was because something was "too difficult".

Also, Lake Lunvik in Moonwood Mill doesn't freeze in winter. It says "too cold to swim" but it's not frozen. Werewolves can still wade in up to their ankles.

    I personally like the Autumnal feel of the new world, it seems fitting. It's just the leaves that are starting to bother me. My Sim is constantly sweeping them up as she's on a large lot.

    Edit: so I found the leaves eventually vanished if I restarted my game. So they mustn't be intended to continue into Spring and Summer after all. I'm relieved about that because Whispering Glen is such a beautiful neighbourhood.

      I Live on the largest lot and have yet to see a single fallen leave. It is currently winter so should have seen some by now if there are any.

        @jpkarlsen I'm not sure mine is working correctly so that's useful to know it's not doing the same on PC. I had them all through Autumn and Winter and into Spring too, that didn't seem right to me. I'm keeping an eye on it as this is the first lot I've played from the new pack. It's the Marigold Chateau lot.
        When I restarted my game I cleared my locally saved data too (Xbox Series X) so that may have fixed it. So I'll see if it happens again.
