If they are using this excuse I'm expecting more than making holidays and a spashpool. Just saying :/ Wonder if weather will be dynamic or was that also left out for 'amazing' features?
-No Festivals -No sun burns -No tanning -No tanning booths -No snow depth -No life state -No diving board -No swimming in bodies of water -No pool floats -No ability to choose what seasons you want -No ability to disable certain types of weather -No kissing booth -No haunted house -No eating contest -No soccer net -No picnic basket -No ice staking on frozen bodies of water -You're the only one who can throw parties still so so much for relatives and friends inviting your Sims over for the holidays -The weather is just a screen effect and not 3D like Sims 3 had and is like Sims 2 fake weather -Snow mounds are just for pointless collectibles (lame!) -Snow is a plain white texture and not real snow (Sims 3 did it better) -Pets don't get anything to wear for the weather (it doesn't affect them) -Leaves don't decay or fall off the trees its all fake effects to fool you into thinking its Fall
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.
Grant said something about the Seasons release date not being delayed, so I think it's something to do with deadlines - like, they could do it but they aren't being given enough time to get it right..
As for DLC for DLC, well, I wouldn't mind in some ways, if the content had been truly original... In fact I think a lot of people would have given it a pass. That's another discussion for another topic though - the problem is Seasons.

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.

That's what I'm thinking too. It's all just speculation but don't you think that maybe the deadline was pushed forward for the EA thing.
Or didn't he say something about the engine a few pages back. Either way I know nothing about how their deadlines and such work.
From this tweet it seems that they actually tried to research it and tried to implement it on the game, and it turns out ugly. They might already find a way to implement it but then again its was visually unappealing. They knew what happen about the ball pit so they don't want to do it again, and it seems that its better to have them flat that looks beautiful rather than have them yet it looks ugly and dosen't fit in at the art style.

But snow is part of seasons. It's not an old thing, it's just what people expect when you claim to be adding four seasons. And no that isn't snow, it's recolored grass.
Anyway, what I actually wanted to comment on was dlc for dlc. People complained because it had clothes from bg and the rest of a set from cars and dogs.
I've always said I'd like them to add things for pets in future packs, like a bonus for owning both. Kinda like they did with the weather stone in sims 3.

But I want to know how ugly was ugly. And why couldn't they at least try to make it work on the roof. I mean the texture for the snow piles is sims 4 style and it looks great so couldn't they just do that?
