- I can't name just one.
1. The rotting leaf piles that just won't go away even after Fall is over.
2. Plants that look dead yet are producing fruit when they are in Season.
A few more things I can't remember atm, but I'll edit my post later. - thatsme_ever7 years agoSeasoned AceMainly it's the lack of tradition options and holiday icons. There isn't much variery and I end up using the same things all the time. Other than that, I've been enjoying this EP to the greatest extent. Too many routing issues though, which weren't fixed in the latest patch. And I never had them in the past.
- More holiday icons, hockey in winter, more snowball fights, in general more ideas for the summer seasons, custom season length (!!!!!!) stinking, leaf piles, my sims freezing to death if they're outside for a literal second, and MORE RAIN IN FALL! I need more rain in fall!
- paigeisin57 years agoSeasoned AceMod The Sims and LittleMsSam both have more holiday icons and traditions.

You can turn off thunderstorms and blizzards, rain and snow too, if you wanted - > @mikamakimon said:
> I wish the bunny and father winter only appeared during the holidays they're associated with. The bunny follows my sims everywhere they go and father winter keeps calling my female sim. They were fun to have around during the holidays, but they are constantly around, I think of be sick of them long before the holidays come around again. I'm considering deleting father winter, but not sure if a new one will generate for the next holiday? The bunny doesn't appear on my manage households at all, so not sure what to do about him.
Father Winter will regenerate. My sim has already married one (removing him from the job) and had a kid with another. Just like the Grim Reaper they will have their own name and just carry the title of Father Winter - I'm not a fan of the forced birthdays. The long lifespan is obviously longer than 28 sim days but that's apparently the new year limit. I had to turn aging off for everyone so my sims could live long enough to raise their children properly.

My Sims aged properly. Are you sure you just didn't lose track and 20 days went by before installing Seasons?
I counted backwards and yes, the life span added up correctly for me. - Simburian7 years agoSeasoned AceIt is too easy for single Sims especially, to die of cold when they go out to festivals. You take your eye off them for a minute or two to look around and they start going blue. Best for EA/Maxis to get the switching into appropriate indoor/outdoor clothing sorted out first.
Something like vacuum flasks to put into the Sims inventory with hot or cold drinks that might revive them to get them home in time or to offer/share a hot drink with a cold friend or NPC? They could make hot drinks with the already available drink, coffee and tea machines at home to keep in that inventory. I always keep loads of apples in their inventories to stop them starving in my games.
Hot chocolate from a stall should act as a reviver. - ayyitsmell7 years agoRising AceI really like the Seasons EP. I think its cute and I love how beautiful all the towns look in the different seasons.
BUT ...- I dislike the Gnomes very much. (Pretty much traumatized by them)
- I also don't like that we can't see the weather through the window, like we can't see the snow falling or the rain pouring down if you are viewing it from inside the house. I was recording a video of my sim with the window behind him and you couldn't see that there was a thunderstorm outside.
- Obviously, the bugs and outfit related deaths are irritating.
- Because of the trees moving and sky colors changing, I noticed how 2D and choppy the background looks (like the things in the distance like the fake trees, cities, mountains, and etc.). It has probably always looked this way, but I guess I just notice it more now. Speaking of the sky colors changing, there is one blue shade that looks a bit off. Reminds me of the blue screen of death. I think it happens on clear skies kind of days.
- I also dislike how uneventful the water balloon fight / snowball fight is. They just stand around and then run to one end. Stare at each other and Stand around again. Then one sim reacts and runs to the other side. Repeat. Idk, it just takes a bit for the reactions and sometimes I can't see the item being thrown. (Could be a bug or maybe caused by lagging)
