Theory on The Sims 4 Seasons
I apologize if this has been posted somewhere else, but I just had a thought. I know a lot of people want Seasons to be an expansion pack for Sims 4 as it was with Sims 3 (myself included). However,...

WHen we think of seasonal packs some may think of holidays, activities, a yearly "calendar" so to speak that allows us to experience all the various seasons and the world changes throughout those seasons on an automatic and timely basis (unless you choose to change it otherwise of course.) And that's fine, that's certainly part of what has come in seasons packs before.
For me though, I just really want weather. Even if it's not automatically generated by the game and affected by the normal passage of time in the game, if we can set snow and rain events on our own, for the entire world, that would be good enough for me. Maybe have a command code - set normal (sunny, default weather), set snow, set rain, set fog....and it stays that way until we go back and set it to something else. That way you could have snow/sun/rain for 1 day, or all your days. I would hope that Sims would get moodlets with the different weather of course. You could really mix it up - rain one day, snow the next, sun the next, snow the next, rain, rain snow, sun sun, rain...etc etc etc....
Do I want it all, of course, but in really thinking this over, I would be content with just differing weather options. Even if it meant not getting additional items beyond maybe an umbrella and some winter weather CAS items (which that shouldn't be too difficult to do.)
I just wanted to add, I don't understand why it's so hard to add just the most basic weather in the base game when all kinds of games with all kinds of graphics ranging from Skyrim to Stardew Valley have it in their base game.
