Personal Opinions on Seasons
So stead of reading the wiki which is unbiased in general. Tell me what are the good and bad of Seasons (besides death by heatstroke and freezing?)
Forum Discussion
The Good:
- the weather: it adds variety to gameplay and makes the worlds more realistic and interesting
- the calendar: so much easier to keep track of things. the ability to schedule a party (when you plan it through the calendar) for a specific time is so much better than having it start immediately if you do it from the phone
- the holidays: creating your own, participating in the already set up ones
- the build/buy: so many fun and pretty things to use in builds
- the CAS: finally a reason for the hot and cold weather outfits and the weather-specific items are awesome!
- Patchy: sure, you can hire a gardener without Seasons but the scarecrow is so much more fun :D
The Bad:
- gardening gets a bit harder as the harvestables aren't as reliable as without it (without Seasons you get 10 per plant every day, with Seasons the number varies). this isn't immediately bad if you're looking for more challenging play but the change is a big jarring. greenhouses are a must, imo.
- thunderstorms putting everyone (pets including) into a tense mood
- the thermostat only having 3 settings (it would be nice to have mild heat and mild cooling as a mid-step
- random holidays: the one thing that is fun but I also wish we had a way to schedule them ourselves (or could turn them off)
- umbrellas: they're awesome but also glitchy
The Ugly:
... yeah no, I got nothing.
