Is outdoor retreat worth it?

@RonneeSimmer I also don't care much for having my plants go dormant if I am playing a household that focuses on them. So... In households where I cook dishes, baked goods and cupcakes to sell in my bakeries or want year-round harvestables &/or flowers, I make indoor/sheltered sunrooms or greenhouses with windows &/or glass roofing for year-around plants that are not effected by weather. (I have also made businesses where I combine a bakery and florist shop.) For normal homes I don't mind the seasonal aspect - I just keep extras in inventory to get through the off season, or keep a few multi-plants (spliced) in the living room in pots for off-season cooking. It's fun to come up with creative solutions. To me that's half the fun of the game!

In seasons you also get holidays, including 'Father Winter' (Santa) and 'Winterfest' (Christmas), beehives (fertilize your garden and make honey) and skating rinks (the game spawns them in worlds (roller skating and ice skating). You can play in leaf piles, make show angles, snow pals, snowball fights: https://youtu.be/pG7mn3tpWAM... water balloon fights and mud fights and all sorts of little and big things throughout the worlds.

I was very surprised to enjoy Laundry Day, as @PugLove888 mentioned. It has some cool decorative items, and the laundry aspect also adds challenge and realism. And Parenthood adds some interesting challenges and interactions if you play families, and I am in love with a bunch of the build items in it (like the kitchen items and cabinets). I also agree very much that it really depends on your play-style and what you most enjoy in the game.

Have fun deciding, and I'm happy to hear you will be able to take advantage of some great deals - and maybe even get more in budget range with the sales! 🙌
