Is seasons worth getting?

I like that it actually makes gardening more of a challenge. With plants having actual seasons you have to decide how many of your crops you want to sell and how many you want to save for cooking/crafting purposes if you're growing everything outside. I decided to grow my flowers in the greenhouse since I'll need a good supply of flowers for flower arranging, and leave the fruits/vegetables/herbs outside along with the trees. So I'll have the flowers that will keep growing, while the other produce will be subject to the seasons. Haven't done a lot of playing yet, but will likely get more into it over the weekend; we've got a heat warning for the weekend so I'll be spending a lot of time inside where it's only early Spring in my game.

This is a great idea. Going in game right now to separate my harvestables. :)

I definitely agree that you have to already enjoy the game. It's gorgeous to me and has already added so much. Even with my sims doing their normal things it's changed it. I really haven't explored Seasons gameplay yet other than some decorating and clothing changes.. but when my sim is cooking or reading a book and it's snowing outside... it's just wonderful. Fireplaces mean something now.. they were unused for me before. Same for the firepits. This is a new level for me to explore.

For the longest time, everyone up and down says 'more gameplay, more gameplay!'. This is the pack that has it. It has more gameplay than any other S4 pack to date. The seasons themselves aren't just weather for atmosphere. They affect plants, Sims, what can and can't be done around the worlds, etc. The worlds are far more dynamic, with the ice/skate rinks and food stalls spawning in. Then you have Patchy to interact with, decorating your house, gift giving, etc. TheSimSupply spent an entire hour in the video just going over all the gameplay stuff, lol.

You should wait till its cheaper or on sale

ABSOLUTELY.

It makes the world feel so much more dynamic! No more perpetual sunny days! Boy, that got boring after a while.

And it plays pretty well with existing packs too, which is honestly awesome. If you have City Living, you can set off fireworks as a holiday activity! If you have any expansions that include worlds, those worlds will be updated for weather and seasons. And different worlds have different climates. It's awesome.

Like, did you know vampires can go actually outside during rainy and cloudy days? That's a thing. They also can't freeze in the winter; they don't really seem to feel temperature at all.. don't quote me on that though, I haven't played them during a heatwave yet.
Speaking of vampires, one little drawback is that I can't see what the weather is in other worlds. It would be nice to know for when I'm traveling; especially if it's a matter of being able to go outside safely, or accidental death by sunlight.
In case you can't tell, I play vampires a lot. Not sure if other people would care about this feature as much.

There are also still a few major bugs. My sims have gotten stuck T-posing not just once but TWICE, and it was creepy as hell. So uh. You can easily wait until the biggest bugs are squashed. But overall, this is the best TS4 expansion so far.
