Man Sims 4 continues to be a failure and makes even Sims 2 look good. lol
Go buy Sims 2 and Sims 2 Seasons, thank me later. Much better experience and that game is over 10 years old!

When they added pet clothes on a stuff pack people complain about DLC for DLC, now after you are complaining that pets don't get anything from the weather?

Also each sims game and expansion packs are supposed to be different. If Seasons in Sims 3 was about going out and exploring with your friends to different seasonal festivals then Sims 4 is different, it emphasizes about holidays, and gardening. I would rather have new things than rehash of the past experiences.

But the sims 4 seasons is a rehash of past experiences. Everything we have seen except the thermostat and the kiddy pool was in the sims 2 or 3. Ice skating, snow angels, building snow men, snowball fights, being struck by lightning, gardening, holidays have all been done before which is fine as it wouldn't be winter without the above activities as an example. But the more I read, it appears we lose things more than we gain.

This is how I feel. I don't see that what has been given up, snow and a new world is worth what we got. I was happy to give up an new world in sims 3 because we got nearly 20 activities and that doesn't include the holidays, parties and all that. We got amazing seasons with that and aliens that I prefer to the annoying gtw ones. Sims 4 leaves me feeling we keep losing stuff to gain little.

Just felt like making a little list:

Activities confirmed in Sims 4 Seasons so far:





Sims 3 Seasons:




Now keep in mind the point of this wasn't to Diss sims 3 seasons, I absolutely loved that pack and still do. The way that seasons gradually changed, and all the little details like water on the road and foggy windows in winter were absolutely amazing. There are plenty of things it's "missing" though like green houses, sprinklers, etc. I'm sure I missed a couple things for both sims 3 and sims 4, but they roughly have the same amount of content so far at least with premium gameplay objects. Sims 4 isn't even done announcing stuff yet, we just learned about the thermostat yesterday.


The flat snow is a personal aesthetic appearance, it's 100% fine if you dislike it, and it's fine for you to be upset about it. I
actually ENCOURAGE you to voice your discontent, just like people with the toddler ball pit did and it wound up getting fixed. IF enough people speak out there's a good chance they'll patch it.

I want to end off with that overall, the sims 3 expansion packs seem to have a lot more content than sims 4, and I admit that. Cats and dogs should have had other pets, it was a complete cash grab whether they say it was or wasn't. Seasons looks like it's the first pack that has a decent amount of content though, and I am very happy about that.
