What about the game play? Why bother having rain at this point?Hail didn’t do anything in previous games except add a new death type and had sims react to the hail by being pelted by it. Hail didn’t really do anything in previous games so they probably left it out this time because they probably didn’t think it was necessary. They saved that little extra time and resources they would’ve spent on hail and adding proper reactions to hail to make other parts of the pack more detailed. Hail wasn’t that big of a deal. Snow depth wasn’t that big of a deal. Yet, all of these “no big deal” omissions are starting to add up. My question remains, and I mean this in the most non-toxic/bashing way, what are they spending their resources on over these basic weather effects? I really hope we find the answer soon. This. Some people are even saying they don’t have it where they live, honestly that’s not a valid argument. People keep saying to spend their resources else where, but at this point what are they? At some point, “spending resources elsewhere” just isn’t good enough. I don't understand "I don't have hail where I live so it doesn't matter" this is the most ridiculous and funniest argument I've ever heard, I don't understand why people think weather EP for Sims that ships worldwide should revolve around local weather where they live!

Wasn't expecting hail, so no biggie. Cool about the fog effects tho.

I hope it looks like this https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/sims/images/8/8e/Bridgeport_fog.jpg/revision/latest/scale-to-width-down/340?cb=20100917183250

Good. Hail and freezing rain are terrible weather conditions. I'm glad my Sims don't have to suffer through them.

Another disappointment. The trade off being FX fog doesn't seem fair. What about the game play? Why bother having rain at this point?

It's official- No hail this time

I don't know why they act like fog is some brand new feature that will make up for no hail, when both hail and fog were in 2 & 3. Do they think we have amnesia?

lol, the sims don't even know there's a world around them. Unless it's flirty falls or stupid things like that. So now they are going to get upset by a bit of rain.

BTW, the fog in FH doesn't phase them so I don't think the new and improved fog will either. It's just for visuals for the player. This team is somehow not understanding that the player can't get immersed if the sims aren't.....

Unless this is how shallow people have actually become?

I have felt a long time ago not to expect too much from Sims 4 and I was going to buy this EP on launch day but look my Sims are going to have to enjoy those endless summer days for awhile until the EP can be gotten on the cheap side and then I will feel I paid for the EP what it really worth. Those that get enjoy it and those that don't do not worry about it.

They do. This game has so many 'firsts'
With their marketing I thought these were the first pets to have fears and obsessions. Play sims 3 to. Find out my one cat is obsessed with the fish tank. Literally wakes up and sits infront of it until her needs to eat or sleep. The other one hunts every second he can and I never directed him. They were scared of things too, I just forgot what

This!! I just told someone I can't play sims 4 long because my sims don't make it believable. I done any seem anything bothers them and if it does. It's forgotten in a day. They don't care of the walls aren't painted or if they have the worst furniture. Their spouse chests and its a mild annoyance.

In sims 3 it's been way too long and my sim's gf still gets upset that he cheated.

I stopped expecting much long ago but for some reason I had hope seasons would continue to include the basics.

I am going to wait for a very good sale and pay what I really feel it is worth. Wish this was on Humble Bumble which I am an member for it would be sold cheap. :)

hail is basic? maybe in certain places but I dont think its a very common type of weather. I have experienced earthquakes, blizzards, heatwaves, and severe flooding where I live but the last time it hailed here was 10 years ago.

Yup that's what I'm doing too. I can't pay $40 for this pack. I feel there are many games which I would rather pay that much for.

It's always been a sims basic. It's kinda like expecting toddlers.
