Seasons - hate it how to turn off entire pack

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.

To disable the entire EP.

Go to Origin.
Right Click the game
Go to 'Game Properties'
Go to 'advanced launch options' (second tab)
Type -disablepacks:EP05 into 'command line arguments'
Pack is now disabled.
*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.

I think it's the best pack they've made for Sims 4.

i love it and winter is my favorite

Hmmm I think the one bad review is outnumbered a whole lot then. Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying the writer is wrong (I have no idea lol) but I think I'm still willing to try it out ..

Hello
Seasons - hate it. winter is endless, rains constantly, hate the restrictions on gardening. How do I 1) Turn off the entire EP?

2) Leave the pack installed but deactivate winter and fall? thanks very much

I have seen this discussion but need a step by step instruction how to do one or the other. thanks

You can't turn off fall and winter, but you can disable weather in Game Options. You can turn off rain and thunderstorms, snow and blizzards, or all of them. The seasonal gardening makes it more of a challenge -- not sure if there might be a mod that takes that away either. Persnoally I like the rain and snow as they challenge me to come up with workarounds. I built an indoor park with play equipment and other kids' activities to have a place to send them; I'm also working on a covered pool for when the weather's bad but my Sims still want to go swim (plus there's the indoor pool in the basement of the Harber Quarter Gym in Windenburg where I can send them). I also have my Arts and Science Center where my Sims can go in bad weather to work on skills.

I'm thinking of disabling blizzards because they're really tough on my Sims. I want to keep the thunderstorms even with the constant Tense moodlets because I like the stuff (crystals, elements) generated from the lightning strikes.

It's added a lot of value to my game play -- I've had to rethink a bunch of builds whether they'd be Seasons compatible. (I enclosed Hogan's Burger Bar and renamed it BorgOpolis so it would be suitable for the weather.)

I love Seasons. It adds realism to the game. Just add a thermostat for indoors, make sure you dress accordingly, and get the rewards for cold and hot immunity, and you're all set. Umbrellas are kind of a pain though.
