@ReneHollyDesign1 I wish we had mods on console for that very reason. I'm always so envious of the ability to use mods to fix some of the biggest (and in the case of strays, most distressing) problems with the game. I'm so impressed by the talents of modders.
I love Seasons content but I disable weather, cut winter to 7 days and grow plants indoors in a greenhouse if I need them as sheltered plants behave differently. I have a farmer's market where Sims can buy preserves and fertilizer, rare harvestables, etc. They can also harvest every plant in the game if they help with the gardening and the most special ones are sheltered so they are always there. It's in Oasis Springs too so the weather is better.
On the subject of packs though, one thing that's annoying me lately is the uncomfortable furniture. When I pay full price for an expensive pack I expect useable furniture. I love Horse Ranch so much but my Sims hate the beds and get up in the morning full of aches and pains for 3 hours. I know we can upgrade some but my Sims don't always have the time or skills, especially my busy Sims. I don't use half of the beds in my game, except for in background character's lots or guest rooms. Dine Out booths are another example. They look so good but my Sims hate them and complain they are cheap.
