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, I'm not sure if that's going to happen. First off, recently some people have been saying that Gurus have said that we should be expecting "new" ideas with packs. I'm not sure how valid that is though. It could be plausible that the stuff packs have replaced seasons in a sense. What I mean is that we got a free holiday pack with winter holiday themed clothing and items. We have a Spooky Stuff pack and now a Backyard Stuff pack which has a lovely summer vibe to it. I have a feeling that EA might feel that is enough variety of "seasons."
I could be totally wrong, and this is just speculation. Feel free to comment if you have ideas why my theory might be wrong or possibly correct.
Thanks (:
We've seen new ideas in GPs and SPs, and in some of the EPs. Instead of shoehorning vampires into a city-themed EP, we got them in their own GP and they're probably the best vampires we've ever had in the Sims. We could potentially see a new take on the theme. For example, we've already got different climate structures in the game, from the desert in Oasis Springs to more of a southern flavor in Willow Creek, with Newcrest somewhere in the middle. What if you had snow in Windenburg, then you travel to Willow Creek and it's rainy, then it's dry in Oasis Springs, all in the same day at the same general time? So if you really like snowy winter weather you might lean towards moving your Sim to Windenburg, while if you have a Sim that hates wet and cold weather they might prefer Oasis Springs where it rarely snows and when it rains it might not be quite as cold. Maybe plants will actually be on a seasonal basis instead of growing the same all year round, and we can have greenhouses for year-round growing. Since we can already grow plants indoors in pots, it would maybe be a matter of creating glass walls and roofs, maybe add a sprinkler system. There are a lot of different directions they can go with Seasons, still giving us the key factor of changing weather patterns, and the packs we've got now like Backyard Stuff and Spooky Stuff and the free holiday packs can enhance that experience, and since we've got those items in packs that leaves space in a possible Seasons EP for new ideas and items. I mean, we'll finally have actual use for those ugly Christmas sweaters. :D
