Seasons - hate it how to turn off entire pack

For your second question, the only way to not experience a certain season is to switch to a different season when one you don't want comes along, using the weather machine.
Here is a guide on the weather machine:

You can also use cheats to change the season to skip winter and fall. I'll post what I wrote in another thread.
First turn testing cheats on

Then type "seasons.set_season #"

And you replace # with the number for the season that you want
0 is summer
1 is fall
2 is winter
3 is spring

So for example if you want spring you would type seasons.set_season 3

You also might need this mod to be able to use the cheats.

*Warning that any saves you've used it in might not work properly or at all or you might be missing anything that came in the pack* (I've only done this in new saves I believe.)

I love it. I think it adds a level of challenge that was previously missing in the game. You have to plan ahead and strategize more.

I have been enjoying it, but it also introduces a number of challenges. Just look into it first. You need to watch out for how weather will affect things you have outdoors, have doors not just arches to decks/outside, deal with a thermostat for extreme weather, etc. I did not get it for a while because of that, but I have been having a lot of fun with it, gardening (though you should do any splicing you want first because currently it breaks the splicing/grafting for rare seeds/fruit/flowers - unless the grafting was done before and you harvested what you needed from that). The snow is so fun, though, and I am loving the gardening and flower arranging -- and you can even build and use a greenhouse to grow year-round (otherwise plants only bloom in their season). In the gallery/my profile I have made a few residences and businesses that have greenhouses and flower arranging equipment and plants. Have fun!

Personally, I enjoy playing with the weather and the new gardening system. :)

Although in my legacy save game, we tend to get the electricity shut down regularly, because my Sims families are too poor to pay the bill (because they have the thermostat set to cool) :D

Ha ha! That's what I love though about the pack. The game isn't such an easy ride anymore. There's some challenges to it now.
