No matter where I go, people are begging for a seasons pack for TS4. Not only here on the forums, but also in YouTube comments of ANY official trailer/promotional video, like the devs would actually read it. It's annoying me so much that I just have to ask:
Why seasons? What's so special about it? How would it influence the game so much?
The only seasons pack I ever owned was TS3 Seasons, and it was one of my least favorite ones because it seemed like it didn't add anything special to the game. The weather was more annoying than anything else.
Look, it's summer, I definitely want to go outside! - it starts to rain the whole day.
Oh, well...maybe tomorrow! - It continues to rain the next three days
I know I could have just turned off rain, but I wanted it to rain ON OCCASION, not every day.
Maybe it's because I live in a place where every season comes along throughout the year and things like snow in winter are not a rare thing to see. I'm tired of rain and snow in real life and I just LOVE summer because I'm not getting depressed like in winter. I just don't like it in The Sims to have the same plum weather I already have in real life.
Maybe they should add some really nice and NEW things in a Seasons Pack. Like actual snowboarding in the mountains, not tied to an object like in TS3 (btw, can someone please explain to me why I can buy a snowboard in TS3, when sims automatically get one while snowboarding anyway?)
What I just want to say in this post is that I don't understand this begging for seasons and I would like to have it explained. Seasons never added anything enjoyable for me to the game, no matter how hard i was looking for it.
ETA: I really don't know in which section this belongs to, so I just posted it into General Discussions for a start.
We don’t all want the same things out of the game I can’t speak for others but for me seasons added a lot to my gameplay. I loved thunderstorms, found rain very romantic, raking leaves into piles, making hot chocolate, choosing out wear for the winter, making snow angels and snowmen, making igloos and then woo-hooing in them. I also prefer challenges in my game (currently I feel my sims lives are just way too easy) I liked that they could get sick from the cold, freeze outside in the winter, or overheat in the sun. I’d like to see more negative effects if the sims 4 adds seasons and weather, like losing power in a storm, or having to go down to the basement of the weather gets really bad. I’d like the possibility of my sims house getting ruined (like in sims 2) but that’s just stuff I want to see I totally understand if it’s not stuff you want, we’re all different, that’s the beauty of packs you can get what you want and skip what you don’t.
I also live in a four seasons state (although winter tends to dominate it) for me I like the game to seem more realistic and that’s more realistic to me.
