This is going to be an unpopular view but here me out I would not mind it if the next 4 GP’s were Spring, Summer, Autumn & winter (community gasps and gets ready to flame me) you may now be thinking what why who is this clown? Well let me explain if Sesons was split in to 4 game packs it would mean we would have more fleshed out Sesons every month Then if we have an EP also if we had Sesons GP’s th devs could add a new worl that would be appropriate for each season just think about that.A beach world for the Summer & a mountain regin for the winter ( of course you can go to these destinations out of Sesons) I don’t want a seson or weather locked to one world ofcouse it’s just an Idea.Thaugts comments tell me how and whybI should burn in hell please feed back.

Nothing wrong with having an opinion.... But I can think of several reasons why it doesn't appeal to me.- Having to pay a total of $80 for all of the seasons.. which is something I'd never do no matter how fleshed out they were.- Past experience shows us gamepack worlds are rather small and uninteresting, anyway.- It would take about twice as long to complete as a regular expansion- Since it'd come in different packs, the gameplay would feel disconnected since certain elements wouldn't be able to be tied togetherI can think of a lot more, but these are just a few.It's... certainly an idea, though.

Summer and Spring could be one GP since we have been playing Summer since the base game.I'd rather just have it all in one pack because all I am looking for is a change of Seasons and sim holidays to celebrate in those Seasons.4 GPS is too long and too much money for Seasons, plus a waste of GPs that could give us more themes.

Don't even encourage such a thing! lolNo and no and no and no! Seasons needs to be one big unit like always. They've always done very well with Seasons in past (especially Sims 3!) so Sims 4 has no excuses and should deliver a dynamic 4 season expansion to us as well!!

I just want Season and I want it to be like Sims 3 that is all then I will be done with this Series because it really is bad Sims 3 was when the Sims 3 series was at its Height now it has gone down hill so yo can burn me as well.

For me personally I wouldn't like this. That would be $80 for all four Seasons. I think it's ridiculous. I would rather have it be one $40 EP. I get where you're coming from though. Most EPs aren't that good and GPs mostly are. To me it would be way too expensive. But of course you're entitled to your opinion.

Keep in mind Grant knows Seasons eps - he did Sims 2 Seasons - so I would not worry about it. He knows how we like Seasons and he didn't work on the game in Sims 1 - so he is very familiar to how a seasons ep goes. He also has worked on base games in Sims 3 and 4 - so he also know the basegame and the engines capabilities. So if Grant can't do it eps style that is the engines fault - not the teams or EA's.

From my understanding the Maxis teams tells EA what they want to do and EA either approves it or not - not the other way around.

I still think it depends on the situation. Sometimes it can also depends on a direction EA is heading to. I remember an EA executive that overlooks DICE and that he didn't approved Battlefield WW1 theme, but DICE pushed it to the limits and even created a test game and it impressed the executive, which turned out to having Battlefield 1. Sometimes we saw EA to decide for all of their games to go online, having a multiplayer aspect, etc. And by that I don't think the studios have a choice.

That was the former CEO and you see where that got him when they made Sim City online. Maxis immediately took the Sims 4 back to single player. So it was not EA - but a single CEO and he always wanted EA games online. He started saying that the first year he was at EA back during Sims 2. He is the same one who made the deal with Sony for Securum midway during production of Sims 2 - He was a businessman not a gamer - like our present CEO, who was at the time the head of the EA sports. Big difference.

This would be a big NOPE for me... I will completely refuse to buy each game pack if they decided to do that... and from the looks of things, I won't be alone... that would honestly be the BIGGEST mistake EA will ever make with this game! The backlash would be much worse than what they received after announcing 'My First Pet'.

Seasons needs to be an entire expansion pack ($40). I will NOT even consider purchasing 4 different game packs just to have Seasons in my game.

Yeah I just want Seasons all together. I want the actual weather.. maybe a world and some activities or harvest type stuff to go with depending on which direction they take it.
However, I wouldn't mind packs associated with certain Seasons to show up later like we have Backyard Stuff now.
For instance I can see a stuff pack called Snow Day showing up ... more coats, and some seasonal activity added in. It would be "gasp" DLC for DLC but depending on how it's done I'd be good with that. I want activities to be fleshed out than in the past .. as they have been coming... so more in other packs wouldn't bother me at all.

I wouldn't mind a SP with a particular seasoned theme, as long as it could stand alone without the Seasons EP. For example, if the SP had water balloon fights for summer, it could have snowball fights in winter if you have the EP, but you still get the water balloon fights anyway so you don't feel cheated.

Another thing they could do is add certain activities to vacation worlds. Like if they did a Ski Resort vacation at some point we could get more weather stuff in a pack like that. Then people who don't have or don't want Seasons ... perhaps it would make their game lag? They could still use it in those areas.

I truly deeply hope they won't make them separate but honestly wouldn't be too surprised if they did... ._.

I'd rather we get Seasons in an Expansion Pack. GPs take to long to release themes eg It was several years between Outdoor Retreat and Jungle Adventures. Basically I don't want to have to wait for each Season when all seasons should be in Season plus GPs should focus on other content like a Romantic Based Pack,Theme Parks,Universities etc.

I doubt seriously we'll get a romantic based expansion if we get this theme at all it will most likely be a Gamepack.

Water balloon fights could possibly come with a Pool Stuffpack.

ski vacation

A ski/snowboard/ mountain pack is somthing i have wanted for years I think watching a sim take there first run down the bunny slope would be really funny same with snowboarding also having stuff like ice skating learn how to cook cheese or meat fondue or Tartiflet (people really find a recapy for that) the possibilities are endless you could even have a new jobs. I mean come on who doesn’t want to run a ski / hiking (depending on the Sesons) shop I see this world as a vacation world but you still have the opportunity to live there.
