I love Seasons, it's added so much more gameplay and visual immersion into the game. But, as mentioned quite a lot around the forums, I dislike the rotting, smelly leaf piles. It's almost like whoever decided on the feature has never taken a walk through the woods. I enjoy hiking in Autumn and one of the things that makes it so enjoyable is the lovely Earthy smell of decaying leaves. It's one of the best smells and helps define the Season for me.
It's just sad seeing all these smelly, fly infested leaf piles around the worlds that won't go away. What's even worse is that NPC/Townies will gleefully play in them too. Ick! o.O
I try to ignore these leaf piles the best I can though, I won't like it, but I can live with it if a patch to fix them isn't forthcoming. What I'm finding harder to accept is the new plant splicing system. I know this isn't a glitch/bug and isn't really part of Seasons since it came in a patch beforehand. But I believe it was implemented because of Seasons.
I love having gardening Sims and was thrilled when I found out about the Floral arranging skill that came with Seasons. But, unfortunately, it's not all that fun for me anymore. There's now only a 1% chance of getting the spliced flower/produce you want. 1%!! I know why they did it, because rare plants are so much more valuable now. But, 1%?!?! I think that's way too low. My Sim is in the middle of her second 'year' of 14 day seasons and she has yet to get a Bird of Paradise flower from her six spliced plants. *sigh*
It makes me not want to garden very much anymore and that's just sad. I love a challenge, but that's just ridiculous in my opinion. My Sim did manage to get an Orchid though. But not from splicing. She bought 50,000 simoleans worth of rare plant seed packets to get one. That's fine since she won the Lotto and could afford to do that. But that still leaves most financially challenged Sims and those without Level 10 gardening skills out in the cold hoping and praying for that 1% miracle to happen.
I apologize for the rant, but these two things, especially the splicing system, just really grind my gears. :/ Bleh...
