What are you most looking forward to in Seasons?

I was expecting it to be the best pack and so far it looks like its turning out to be just that! <3

I'm looking forward to Decorating with the 'Decoration Box'.

A lot of nice things in this pack! I can honestly say the things the gurus showed us in the stream was amazing. But that's me. lol But that calendar is awesome! And of course weather. The snow looked fine to me. I'll see when i get the game!

rain!!!!

Snow and the toddler pools! I'm so happy we finally have more things for our toddlers to do and l can't wait to see them in the pool! <3

Very simple.. Just not having the same old weather each day is already a big plus for me.

I am having a hard time choosing just one. The calendar where we will be able to schedule events ahead of time is great. The holidays and traditions are also great. The weather looks spectacular. There's scouting and a new City Living style career. The list goes on.

I'm just excited, and this is from someone who is generally not a very excitable person. Next Friday cannot come fast enough for my liking.

Being able to schedule events in advance, getting rid of the current Instaparty system, is what I'm most looking forward to. I'll be able to plan a party for when both my Sims have a day off from work, and make sure they're well prepared. If I'm serving food I an prepare it a day or two in advance and store it in the refrigerator, then get the hygiene up with a hot bath and maybe grab a nap to restore energy. I forsee myself do a lot more parties -- and with the Weather Machine, my Sims can have rain on their wedding day! #Ironic

Calendar, sprinklers that water plants, the swing, mud puddles, winter clothes, and the bees. The bees! I wasn't excited at all about the bees, not even when I first saw them on the live stream. They talked about being able to bond with them and I though 'oh, they're like pets you can harvest from' not interested, but then there was wooing, attacking, cheering, and gift fetching. I love the bees.

I wonder what the sprinklers range will be -- I've been using BrazenLotus' sprinkler mod which does a 3x3 area, so I hope they at least cover that. I've got one Sim with a huge garden, and I'm currently working on a house with a small greenhouse for a Sim that's going to specialize in flowers for floral arranging.

Sooo many things! Every response I read in this thread I'm just like "ohhh yeah, that IS gonna be awesome!" But for me... I'm probably most looking forward to the rain. I know I'll get used to it quickly, and it pales in comparison to the other awesome features in this pack, but I've been craving a moody rainstorm in my game for ages. That first bit of thunder is gonna be so satisfying!

Definetely the worst Seasons pack in series..
Forget about flat snow...
Leaves fall off the tress on our eyes.. It does not look as nice as it did in The Sims 3... Yes, I know I can still play it..
Guess I will, knew that I would be disapointed.
Light looks awfully yellow on the snow. Leaves on the ground look like they were made in Paint..
And gameplay? Again! Again we're getting a little for a lot.. I don't need this pack to make holidays. Just can do things that I can do without the pack and pretend that the certain day is a holiday. Holidays base on interactions that are already in the game..
Not even gonna mention that new clothes are mostly recolours of objects already in game..

But can you get your entire neighborhood to decorate for the season? Can you automatically get a day off from work/school for your "ho?

I actually like the lighting -- looks quite realistic for cloudy weather. The only recolor I've noticed is the new Love Day dress. We're getting two different types of skating, water balloons and snowball fights (and you don't need a special object for the fights!), new harvestable plants, bees that actually pollinate plants as well as do a lot more, a new career with two tracks (people always complain we don't have enough careers), both a gardening overhaul and glass roofs free in tomorrow's patch, swings (I've lost track of how many people have wanted swings for their playgrounds and back yards)...that sounds like quite a bit, especially added on to both the calendar system and the notion of weather as a whole especially when you take into account the different climates they had to deal with.

Pro tip: If you set yourself up to be disappointed, you likely will be. I try to find the parts of each pack that contribute the most to my style of game play, and when it comes to this pack, it's going to be a major factor. Seasons means I have to figure out what to do with my garden plants, or just leave them outside and figure my income's going to be less in Winter. Or my Sim kids are going to have to figure out how to spend those rainy days indoors.
