Personal Opinions on Seasons

I love the changing scenery, and the inclusion of cold/hot weather fashion. My grips will be how sims will sometimes wear the hot/cold weather outfits even for indoor parties without changing into party/formal wear, and how my pets can't go potty during thunderstorms/blizzards. The dogs will keep running in and out of the door because they will go out, realized they are scared, and come back in immediately. I solved that by travelling to another town with a different weather, and they will all start pooping immediately once the game loads.

I'm having a good time with it. I was actually happy enough with "constant sunshine" but I also switched over when I got Seasons. Because I rotate, I move between the worlds. I have the seasons set to the max setting of length, so I draw them out and have space between the holidays.

I have honestly not explored the entirety of this pack including how the weather operates in all worlds throughout the year. I do like how each world is very different from the others. It's not one size fits all, though I could do with less "accidental" snow in the deserts, that should really be rare if it isn't someone like a colder desert (yes, I know that those exist).

I think that the seasons add atmosphere and some challenge. Trekking into the jungle now involves dealing with a fair amount of rain. I mean, it is rainforest after all, right?

Having changing seasons added a sense of time when I played StrangerVille. Now, I have "normal" households there.

When it comes to people complaining about the pre-loaded holidays, I don't quite get it because you can delete them and make your own. I'm not wild about the gnomes so I can take them out. They were hilarious and kind of creepy if you are into supernatural stuff.

You will either find it annoying because weather will become a regular factor in your games or you will find it adds to each situation.

I like the CAS/BB a lot, it blends well with that stuff from other packs. I don't mind the extra outfits, though yes, it's weird when they sometimes don't take coats off inside even when the heat is going. Minor point for me.

It's one of my favorite packs, especially if your Sim lives in a world that experiences all four seasons. I like using some of the decor pieces year around like the plants that hang from the wall, or the greeting cards on a table or other surface. The CAS items are nice, too.

But if your Sim lives in Sulani or Oasis Springs, your mileage may vary.

@Chazzzy Thanks so much! I'm actually excited about the pack now.

This is one of the packs I've considered uninstalling at times. Toddlers, pets and even all my adult Sims are tense during every incredibly common T-storm and I hate that. I turned off all storms, blizzards and rain (I've never liked rain) but the StrangerVille pack is messing with my solution. Even though my family moved to Willow Creek I'm getting all of them again.
I resurrected the Mother plant and befriended her, and set the weirdness to its lowest level so I can keep getting gifts from her. It's not logical for the weirdness of SV to affect other world's/towns and it's getting annoying.
I love all the BB stuff and seeing snow is nice enough but holy cow the leaves! My Sims will be raking leaves every time I'm not controlling them and it never seems to end. ?

I have love and hate relationship with Seasons.

I love gardening on Sims and Seasons ruined grafting. I don't mind seasonal plants, I actually like that feature, but I hate that I can't graft rare plants anymore. They're so rare that my Sim will die of old age before he gets any of them.

Seasons also made my favorite world Brindleton Bay a place where Sims are uncomfortable all the time because there are thunderstorms almost every day. I have to buy everyone "storm chaser" trait if I want to have a pleasant game play and I would rather use those reward points to something else.

What I love about Seasons is the calendar and that we can create our own holidays and plan future events. I love CAS and build & buy items. Also the worlds with proper 4 seasons look very beautiful with autumn leaves and snow.

I wish that I could set a season to 21 days but I love having seasons. However I will let my family move before winter comes back to Brindleton Bay.

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?)

Good
Weather of course
Seasons
Skating
Holidays
Snow completly changes the look of the world
Decorating the Christmas Tree
Gift Giving
Family activities like snowball/water balloon fights,building snowmen together,making snow angels etc.
Holiday lighting for houses

Bad
Skating should have gotten it's own lot type.

It's a great pack overall, but there are a some issues. It interacts really badly with the San Myshuno festivals as rain breaks electronics, also Sims can stand around outside the gym in blizzards or sit on the edge of the pool in snow and freeze to death. I've roofed the public pools and use mods to stop them doing that.

On the other hand the weather is great and the seasonal holidays are pretty good too. It also comes with a lot of really useful CAS and Build/Buy stuff.

honestly overall i would say its one of the better expansion packs. however i do think a few things are missing like snow days but whats interesting is there is a surprising amount of depth in a whole bunch of other things and very interesting customization and even some random events which kind of balance things out to a a degree. its a pack that makes me hopeful for the future in a way.
