Is anybody else finding that they appreciate fireplaces more with Seasons?

Yes! I had fireplaces in my houses more for the look/feel of it, but seasons makes them more useful (since I didn't want to use the thermostat). Wish we had even more options like pot belly stoves, or what us aussies call coonaras :)

I've used them a lot before seasons. :)

Oh definitely! My new favourite thing.. well new since Seasons but I've always done it in previous sims games... is to have sims sit around the fire on snowflake/winterfest eve as it snows outside. Melts my heart. Every. Single. Time.

For sure! My Sims turn it on by themselves and always enjoy it in the Winter. Adds so much depth to a space and makes it cozy.

Yes, I use them now instead of thermostats in the Winter. I had fireplaces before, but never really used them. They were just in my builds for aesthetics, especially in cabins. But now, even though none of them are upgraded they stay on whenever the weather is 'cold' or 'freezing' which ends up being almost the entire Winter season. Luckily, I've never had a fire... yet. o.O

However, I do put thermostats in venues. I'm thinking about taking them out though now in favor of fireplaces. I didn't think premades/townies would autonomously light fires in them at venues. But, the last time my Sim visited The Shrieking Llama bar in Windenburg, I saw Bella Goth start a fire and warm her hands to the one there. :)

Seasons has made many objects more relevant such as the fireplaces. Most of my Sims homes have basements now which I never did before. But one has to have a place to store all the outdoor furniture and summer toys because I hate having things destroyed by lightning and rain then needing to replace them. I am not cheap, I am simply frugal. B)

I usually have a fireplace in every house. And my sims use them too. Just wish they would be sensible enough to NOT warm themselves by the fireplace when there's currently a heat wave. I really don't know why....

Yes, I've had to alter all my played homes to put a fireplace in!

Absolutely!. I hardly ever put fireplaces in my Sims homes before Seasons.

I'm just approaching my first Winter in my game and really need to add more fireplaces! My current household has one, and it reminded me that most of my households don't.

I really hope they edit the radiators to give off heat. Soon. Please ;)
