I don’t understand the whole “be happy for this because now people who can’t afford the pack can get to enjoy x feature since it’s in the base game” mentality.
That's not it at all, though.
I'm not ever going to be happy if they take a core feature of a pack and add it to the base game. But the calendar is in no way, shape, or fashion what I would ever consider a core feature of Seasons. - crocobauraSeasoned AceSeasons was released three years ago. Getting angry that people might get calendar in base game for free is like being angry that people can buy cheap decorations in the sale after Christmas.
- DaWaterRatSeasoned AdventurerI mean, I can understand why people might be upset that a feature from Seasons is being moved to the base game, but let me ask this -
If there's a feature in an upcoming pack that more or less needs the calendar - whatever it may be - which is the greater issue: moving the basic Calendar to the base game and diminishing the value of the Seasons pack or having the Calendar added to the new pack as well - possibly at the expense of another system - meaning if you have Seasons you're paying for the Calendar feature twice?

idem >:)- I'm not gonna buy any DLC from The Sims anymore. Who knows because maybe Maxis will patch it these things in the base game down the line :D

Lol. What's the point of buying packs if they patch in all the selling points of EP's in for free anyway?
I just can't anymore with their plum practices.
I'm not expecting holidays to come with the calender to the base game. That will be Seasons exclusive.
You really do just excuse everything they do, don’t you?
Smh.

Holidays are exclusive to Seasons. - I hope it comes with an option to have 56 day long seasons or with an option to customize the length of seasons.

Let's make a prediction what else they will make free (or release a similar free version of) further down the line shall we?
I predict...- Baking from Get to Work.
- Clubs from Get Together.
- Karaoke from City Living.
- The Ice Cream maker from Kitchen Stuff.
- The fame system from Get Famous.
- Baking from Get to Work.
- atreya33Seasoned VeteranI don't mind if the calendar would become base game. It feels like something that should have been in base game right from the start. The devs have patched in quite a few pack items into base game over the years, I am done with getting upset about it. The only exception is the hot tub patched in because that totally emptied the perfect patio pack. That stuff pack has zero gameplay left. I own the seasons EP and think it will still have plenty left to be a valuable pack like actual seasons and weather, flower arranging, a career, bees, scouts,.. I expect holidays to remain exclusive to seasons, but who knows.
Adding the calendar to base game opens new possibilities because the calendar does have other benefits besides planning holidays.
- plan social events in advance
- keep track of birthdays in your household
- view other events. You can already see some get Famous events in the calendar. It would be convenient to also see festivals from city living, island living and snowy escape"CelSims;c-17845439" wrote:
They're adding werewolves and farming. The calendar is needed for the lunar cycle.
I can hope!
OMG, now you get my hopes up for a lunar calendar and werewolves. I hope we can finally get them. "LeGardePourpre;c-17851619" wrote:

I don't think, Maxis seems to improve and extend the features.
For example :
- Freelance DJ career : Update for Showtime EP
- Beach lot (Technically it's already a basegame feature)
- Lifestyles
- Fame system : Update for Showtime EP
Not sure what you're talking about.
In TS4 there's no DJ Freelance career and Showtime came with DJ's in TS3 so there was no update.
Beaches are exclusive to Island Living
Lifestyles are exclusive to Snowy Escape
And again, fame system was not updated with Showtime, instead the Showbiz careers and shows provide fame.- Baking from Get to Work.
