One thing you dislike about seasons?...

Only thing I don't like is how leaf piles hang around in the public spaces, and there's no way to get rid of them so they just stay there stinking. You can burn them but that doesn't get rid of them. If they're still there in spring it's going to be pretty smelly in Newcrest. And the random carnage that killed off a bunch of Sims (including orphaning Jaxon and Michaela Munch in the same night by killing off Gunther and Cassidy) so I turned off the temperature effects.

One more thing. Maybe not just Seasons, but related. I just entered a house, to find two household members outside on the terracce, wearing short dresses and high heels - at 3 AM. I know the game give them all kinds of random activities, to give us the impression they are actyive when we don't see them, but hey - why not let hem sleep at 3 AM? Why would one of them be talking to a plant, while the other was grilling some food - although there was already a group serving on the table next to the grill, AND the rain was pouring down... So, with the weather and temperature added, it will be interesting to see what silly activities they will be assigned outdoors, wearing what outfits...

It's become negative to enter a house during the night because their need bars are often in the green, sometimes there's no point in sending them to bed. But, switching houses was always best at night, especially when playing on rotation.

Maybe they just came home from a night of clubbing? The green thing yeah, that's an issue.

I agree completely with all that and also not sure if anyone said this yet or not but y the hell are there no stalkings to hang for Christmas wtf

I made toddler triplets in CAS for a new save. I built a new house and went to live mode and one of the toddlers aged up to child immediately. I guess this has something to do with the calendar? Hoping it's a bug, but it's really annoying as I'm not sure how to age her back down or if I even can.

The fact that there aren't enough gifts to give. I mean, sure, we have bouquets and all but we should also have heart-shaped boxes of chocolates and/or candies (like Turkish delight perhaps) to give to our Sims' boyfriend/girlfriend on Hearts' Day. You can even give them to your mom or your grandma or something like that. I mean, I"m not just talking about confectioneries as gifts but other stuff like stuffed dolls/animals for kids or some kind of knitting thing for grandmas or the like. We should be able to put game consoles in our Sim's inventory to give away as gifts.

In Sims 3, you can put a car in your Sim's inventory and give it as a gift to their son/daughter who got an A in high school or graduated with flying colors in college.

The one feature that could've been added to Seasons, to up the ante of gift-giving, should've been some kind of "wish list" or something to that effect. Like your Sim would want a new pet or a new toy for their birthday or Christmas. Otherwise, gift-giving is just random. Not that I don't enjoy the whole gift-giving thing now. I love it. I just wish that our Sims were given some kind of desire to own something.

I might be wrong ... but can you create holidays for more than just your household? I thought we would be able to set them for all the sims at once.

This goes to highlight an argument i've seen many times by simmers, and a complaint I have as well. Sims don't acknowledge their environment all that well.

When you can delete an entire sofa set that your sim is standing beside and.... nothing. No reaction whatsoever to the suddenly missing furniture... or when you can buy your sims a brand new stove and fridge and they don't seem to even notice or care....... its difficult to expect these same sims to show interest in receiving a particular gift.

What you "do" get however, is a background script assign a notification suggesting that the sims is happy with new surroundings. Which, in my opinion, is a message that should have been sent to the sim instead of (me the player) to encourage the sim to show a little more emotion. I mean really, if they are that happy about the new surroundings they may want to tell their face. The sim seems to be doing the same thing it was doing for the last 20 minutes or so. If she's happy, great, but maybe somebody should tell "her".

I love this EP. But there are a few things about it that seem excessive, I agree. Joggers in shorts and T-shirts in the middle of a blizzard is at the top of my list. Then there are the stinky leaf piles all over the worlds that every Sim plays in and end up with their hygiene in the red. No changing into and out of proper seasonal attire upon entering or leaving a house or venue. The stacks and stacks of dirty dishes and rotting food in every park no matter the season. More holiday traditions and tradition icons, please. Ditto for clubs. Better mud, snow and water balloon fights would have been nice. A smidge more snow build up would have taken this pack into greatness. I ignore that but that one seemingly small detail would have added to the realism even more, in my opinion. Those stupid pink and white blossoming trees that never get leaves or drop their blossoms in the winter. I have always said Sims4 is like playing in worlds created by the Disney studios but blooming trees in the winter? Come on. Even Mickey Mouse would cringe at that. In season plants looking as if they are dying when placed outdoors in the proper season. Less rain! OMG, it rains in my game all the time. But I'm stubborn and refuse to turn it off because what's the fun in having a Seasons EP and not experience the elements? I play around the irritations and try not to allow those to interfere with my enjoyment. In spite of its shortcomings, Seasons is still my favorite Sims4 EP.

Is it true? Other than the gift pile (which I know is random), it's not possible to pick any object from a Sim's inventory and give it as a gift?
