Little details I miss in the rain in The Sims 4 Seasons
First of all, I'd like to say that I'm quite satisfied with The Sims 4 Seasons, and I like several small details that have been added to the game's climatic changes, from improvements to aspects already present before in past expansions about seasons, as well as new ones features that have been added especially in The Sims 4.
But obviously, not everything is perfect, and I would like to share with you some small details that I, particularly speaking, felt a bit lacking and I think they could have added to the game, especially the first one of them that I will talk about.
The first and main little detail I miss in The Sims 4 Seasons, and that exists in The Sims 2 Seasons and The Sims 3 Seasons is the impact of rainwater against the ground.
In the previous two generations, when it rained, it was possible to see those the raindrops forming, and this gave the impression that the water was actually hitting the ground.

In The Sims 4, when it starts to rain, I get the impression that water is passing through the floor. There is no impact. The puddles of water begin to form in several places, but no raindrops appear in the puddles while it is raining. I think that's pretty weird.

The interesting thing is that both in the water of the rivers, lakes, oceans and even water of the pool, there are raindrops, but on the ground, no.

The only water-impact aspect I encountered in the worlds of The Sims 4 while it rained was these raindrops that are "walking" through specific areas such as sidewalks and other places. Yes, it is basically a water effect that is walking through predetermined areas.

I liked it, but I did not find enough to make up for the lack of water impact on the ground.
I think they could have done a little better with the impact of rain on the ground, as in The Sims 2 and The Sims 3.
In The Sims 2, when it rained, you could occasionally see water slipping through the roof. I said "occasionally" because not all players pay attention to the scenario as a whole, and the roof may be one of them, who look at the roof on a rainy day?
However, it was one of those super cool little details that when we realized it, we were thrilled.

As for The Sims 3, there was no detail of the water slipping down the roof like in The Sims 2, but there was water leaking on the edge of the roof when it rained. As for The Sims 4, we do not have water sliding down the roof, nor do we have water leaking over the edge of the roof.
(Sorry, I could not find a picture of this)
As I said, I recognize all the new little details that have been added to The Sims 4 Seasons right now, and the lack of detail I've pointed out here does not affect my gameplay, but it's a small detail that I really noticed and felt missing.
Thanks to everyone who read this post, it's just something I'd like to share, but not necessarily a critique of the game, because as I said, I'm quite pleased with what was delivered with The Sims 4 Seasons.
