The fact that I have to download textured CC is how far I will go to see some change in the environment! I love fall so now I usually have a separate folder in my CC for a fall setting within my game but it doesn't seem as realistic as it could go.
I think for a basic concept like The Sims about life; it is a necessity for a change of environment. Not only does it make gameplay more interesting, it's more visually pleasuring and make us, as players, feel like time is really passing as we play with our sims. There's so much you could add to gameplay by seasons that it would be silly not to consider doing it.
I live in Britain so pretty much season was a blast for me since it was like real life. Maybe they should have a customised feature to change the weather in certain time peoirds of the 'year'. I think that would make more people happy.
