Seasons my point of view

Hotel with (buggy) retail system: that's gonna be fun. Also, lesson learn from CL: limited confined amount and not customizable. Expect either to work like restaurant system or the apartment system. Honestly OP I'm putting my bets 60-80% of your ideas are just pie in the sky. That's not because I have anything personal towards you, but by just looking TS4 era through its retrospective we sure will know it will bring a disappointment wagon along the way, especially If this theme came in Expansion Pack. Swimmable beaches was a pre-patch thing to base game in TS3, so they could have already done and still do it without the expansion pack which everyone is pretty much begging for such an offer. Haunted House - chances are it will be a off-screen rabbit hole (without a building/lot). Picking leaves, building snowman, ice skating and snowboarding: could you imagine in one of those would have cut or zero animation If team ran out of budget to animate those things xD I mean, what a laughing stock it was that dogs no longer can't scratch things, elevators as of yet still have no animation, laundry and dishwashers have automated doors, sims can't even bend to pick up physically plates (they just teleport them in their hand). What else do I expect? Maybe the whole season concept will exist in a new world they will offer, thus meaning the weather and seasonal changes exist there (again, retrospective back to C&D where pets were prisoners of the new world). Either Umbrellas would be more intuitive (sims will not put them back when socializing, walking downstairs and etc, basically actual multitasking which is a plus) or they will be omitted due to sims team's financial or time restraint reasons. Maybe we won't be able change cycles of seasons and adjust weather conditions, because If we couldn't pets due to guru's (il)logical reasoning what makes us positive we will be able to manipulate the weather/seasons as the player? In real life, we can't control pets, neither can't we change the weather duh. Death by lightning/hail/combustion? Dream on. Hysteria is now the future, so expect your sim to literally die laughing because oh boy summer is coming and a storm (pun intended) of happy moodlets will approach overwhelming the sim.
