seasons look great but one big annoyance

I'll be honest, I don't even notice those things once I'm in game. When they add nice effects I appreciate them but it doesn't change the way I play the game

I'm ok with it as it is but if they add an option for sometimes having deep snow later, I'd like that. I've mentioned wanting an alpine snowy world and some point with more activities like skiing. I could see having much deeper snow in a place like that.

I feel like deeper snow is something that should happen randomly at certain times and only in certain worlds. Maybe they will patch it in later, in which case, maybe they can add several different types of snow depths so that you never know just how much is going to fall.

I will say that I'm really glad to see ice-skating because I did not expect it to come in this EP. It's definitely a winter activity that I wanted.

Anyway, I'm not too focused on snow depth but if they add it later as a random possibility that happens in certain worlds, I'd like that.

It is kind of puzzling to see them stand on top of the snow and not see the boots sink in as gravity takes effect. However, it is the design of the program that does not allow the developer to make it seem realistic. However I came to accept Sims 4 shortcomings, most of the previous packs have shortcomings and I expect to see more shortcomings in the packs to come and I am not hating on Sims 4 but I can only go by what I see. I do like some of the content this EP has and I hope if Sims 5 does come up they do not make the same mistakes with that version. :)

You always blame the design of the game and how would you know what they can and can't do if you actually worked for EA then you would know that stuff. I don't think it was the design of the game I just think they focused on other things to make seasons look good.

The snow is flat, but there are coats and gloves.

You're late to the party. :p Quite a few people were upset about the snow (still are).
Check out some tweets explaining their reasoning: SimGuruGrant Discusses Snow Depth in The Sims 4 Seasons

Sims will wear whatever we want them to in the cold and hot weather. It's totally up to you. Yes, they've included coats and gloves: The Sims 4 Seasons: Create-a-Sim Assets

What bothers me is those green spots of grass under the overlapping roofs during a blizzard, it looks off to me.

Yeah that looked awful, I don't see how they could have missed that? Maybe they'll fix it in a patch. That on top of the flat snow makes winter super disappointing to me.

Well, also we're getting recolours of the items in the game as a new objects ...
It's really annoying

I noticed those, too. They're very odd.

But like @Goldmoldar, I'm trying to focus on the things that I do like.

The Calendar system is wonderful. It works in a similar fashion to the club system, which I've always liked. Yet, I don't know that it's enough to convince me to buy the pack. I'm still in a wait-and-see stance. There are still quite a few features that the gurus didn't get to in the live stream.

I'm still really bummed about the beaches and the snow, though. I think that TS4 is the only series that promised "blizzards", but they missed the mark. Also, it looks like pool parties didn't make the cut?

I swear they said the added them but they never mentioned them again.

I like the slipping and the walk style but i feel it'll a get annoying after awhile like the other walkstyles.

And like someone pointed out it looks like a blizzard when you zoom out but when you zoom in then it looks like gentle snow fall. I really feel they missed the seasonal effects this time.

Can sims skate together like in sims 3?** I didn't see anything on the stream

Highly doubt it, Sims skating together was not shown if it was there they would of shown it at some point just like dancing Sims don't like interacting with each other.
