@PugLove888 I waited ages to add Seasons because of the weather aspect and seasonal affect on planting (quickly realised it's fine, I switch the rain off and put plants inside a little greenhouse if necessary) I absolutely loved it once I added it. I love the decor and flower arranging is my absolutely favourite skill. I immediately added loads of flower shops, created the Egg Hunt and finally met the Flower Bunny.
I think many gamers have that one game that's their special one. After taking little breaks to try a different game so I don't get bored or because of bugs I always return to it with a warm feeling and appreciation for the creativity even though the bugs drive me up the wall and I haven't missed the crashing. Trying out a game that has the initials ACNH (which feels a lot like a cult run by small bears) I'm yelling at it, "but in The Sims we do it like this and in The Sims my house is bigger and I'd own this island"! I'll be glad to get back to my Sims but I'm persevering!
I've recruited a few new players too over the years as I often put it on to show people what I've been building and it's always a special thing when you help someone create their first build, even though you want to tell them they're doing it wrong. With apologies to my goddaughter whose first build as a child was just a large purple box with me in Sim form added to it looking extremely garish. Bless her and new little simmers everywhere!

@simsplayer818 , yes, even though C & D is my favorite pack (as most people can tell by my name and avatar 🥳 ) I have to say that Seasons is the one pack I recommend to everybody, even over Cats & Dogs! 🥰 I can't think of a single person who dislikes this pack (i'm sure there is someone, but I never heard them list it as a hated pack). And it is usually high on everybody's list! 😄 We all might not like pets, or the city, or the country or vampires, or beaches, or celebrities, etc., and most of us will not have experience with all of those things (especially vampires!😉 ) but all of us experience weather, to some extent! And every culture and country has holidays, so these are things that most people can relate to! Plus there are just fun things to do on your home lot with your Sims in that pack!
I'm so happy you are enjoying Seasons! I love to garden in the Sims, so that is an added bonus to me! I even love how sometimes lightning will strike the ground near your house and leave a metal or crystal! 🤓
I understand rotating games. I do it myself , but I play the Sims the most! I also play ACNH, but I have played 3 other older versions of that game as well. Animal interactions were better in the older versions but landscaping is better in the newer version. My other favorite game deals with a brave guy, often dressed in green, running around fighting evil while being obsessed with triangles!
My niece when she was young was so impressed that I had the original Sims! I let her make her own household and house and she was so excited! She didn't come over for a while after that, and by the time she did, my computer had died and with my new one I was able to play The Sims2. She was excited about that as well, but buy then she was in high school and was quite busy so she didn't have as much time to visit. But I understand! I do have one relative that also plays the Sims 4 , on console like you! 😎
