Is outdoor retreat worth it?
I like to have a least one of my sims collect, fish and cook new things. Without telling me specifics please, does outdoor living provide "new" things in these areas. New harestables? Trying to decid...

@RonneeSimmer, we are glad you replied back! 🙂
Like @SheriGR , if you shelter your plants they don't go dormant! So don't let that stop you from getting Seasons if you feel you will like other aspects to the game. In addition to what Sheri stated, you can also have water balloon fights, play in the mud or rain, lounge in the kiddie pool, play in the sprinklers, and more. Lightning will sometimes leave a crystal, metal or element that you Sim can collect to be sure to see if a lightning strike leaves anything behind. You can also give yourself abilities with Aspiration points so your Sim is cold or heat proof, water proof, and even give them the Storm Chaser trait so they enjoy storms instead of being stressed by them . There is also a Weather Machine that allows you to change the weather!
And with the beehive, make sure you stock up on honey... Even poor quality honey will help fill hunger, and more importantly if you are about to die from being too cold or too hot, honey will save you! 🙌 Bees have other good interactions as well. And of course they will sting you if you aren't wearing the beekeeper suit.
You can also make your own Holidays, and erase existing ones. Some holidays are minor like Skill Day, but others are major like Harvest Day.
And you get a ton of new flowers in Seasons!
Well you do have a lot of information to think about! Please update us when you make a decison, and hopefully there will be a good sale for you as well! 🤞🥳
@RonneeSimmer @PugLove888 Oh, I forgot about Patchy the scarecrow also! You can place him in the yard and befriend him. Then he will come to life at certain times and tend the garden and hangout as a friend. I have had him clear dishes, paint paintings on my easel that I sold, and change baby diapers! You also get additional harvestibles. Anyway, sorry to add another note, but PugLove knows I'm just a bit obsessed with adding Patchy, also, to help with my gardens. (Plus the sprinklers are an amazing help IF you upgrade them to be unbreakable and no puddles.)
@RonneeSimmerand @SheriGR , I can't believe we both forgot about Patchy in Seasons! 🤭😃 Sheri almost always places him in her gardens! ❤️ He also has seeds in his pockets , sometimes a less common seed, so be sure to check those when the option is presented!😉
