Sesons split

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.

    Why do people want Seasons, which took years to get here and still isn't, divided up into four GP's that will take even longer, even if the dev's agreed to do one after another, it would still take years to get a complete year of seasons.


    Because there's never too much content about Seasons ! It's one of the themes I like the most, so more Seasons packs just mean more packs I'm likely to enjoy.

    Once Seasons are in the game, it gives a gigantic broadener for Stuff Pack content since Stuff can be created that relates directly to seasons even if it doesn't need it.
  • This is actually not a bad idea... But I would get tired waiting around for the next pack.

    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.

    I’d prefer an expansion pack that includes all seasons than GP for each season because with GP, gameplay would feel distant & disconnected and it wouldnt be as seamless as TS4 is aiming for.
