Gaging the requests for Seasons how would you feel about weather being confined to one new world or four different packs for each type of weather? Or one pack like one pack that contains four different spots to visit on vacation and no weather in existing worlds?

If weather was confined to just one world or they tried to chop the seasons up into different GP's, I wouldn't be getting it. Sorry. That would be the absolute worst idea in the history of bad ideas. Even a 12-year-old wouldn't fall for that crap...especially if they got into this series with TS4, but started looking on wikis and fan sites for hints and tips and ended up archive binging and learning all about the usual packs that are added to these games and what to generally expect from them...and especially if said 12-year-old has limited pocket money and only ever can get packs at all on sale because their parents either don't make a ton of money or are extremely cheap. A 12-year-old would likely even warn any friends they have who also play the game not to waste their money buying the seasons separately or buying a "Seasons" pack that's restricted to just one world because EA is pulling another Battlefront II-esque scam since "Seasons" is usually save-wide and all in one package, so they're better off getting some fake precipitation CC and calling it a day. They'd even pull out their pocket computers and show their friends the web pages to prove it. And, yep, those 12-year-olds would have the same reaction as adults would...outrage and disgust (probably even more so since kids generally have even less spending money than adults). (Kids are smarter than most adults give them credit for.)Really, the only chopping up of this pack I would accept is if the addition of rainy and cloudy weather was available as an optional free download like the Holiday pack. Otherwise, just put everything together as always and I'll buy it when I buy it.

Absolutely not. Why should I spend my money on something that would make fun of me? I am an adult, I work and I could afford the purchase of separate packages for each season. But I would not do it on principle, even if they gave them for a low price.If they did something like that they would have closed permanently with me. In addition, I expect that season will bring some of the things proposed with surveys like sims capable of controlling the weather or with capacities related to the 4 seasons.

What's the point of having seasons if the rest of the world is going to be in eternal summer?

Absolutely not. And while I can already hear the excuses “By separating them, we can really focus in on each individual season and make it the best version ever” (and no doubt some people would accept it) no, no no and no!But to be fair I’m fairly certain one of the gurus said a season per world they didn’t think they would do and I hope they don’t. It’s bad enough the crumbs we are getting with bowling being a separate activity, laundry being a separate pack the first pets expansion EVER to just feature cats and dogs (no doubt small pets are coming in a separate sp or gp)If seasons was divided up and sold off per season that would be the ultimate slap in the face. But you know they will only do it and get away with it if the Sims community allows it.

What If Seasons is Confined to Specific Locations?

Didn't vote. I would like these seasons to correlate to the "climate" of the worlds. Brindleton bay probably would get heaps and heaps of snow, Oasis Springs wouldn't get much besides heat waves. I imagine SM as being hot and WC/NC/MP get rain. WB would probably get rain as well. FH would get lots of thunderstorms and GF would probably get it all.

What you're after, then, is a toggle, an option, a choice!

Yes, hadn’t thought of that but for Sims 4 it would be essential to be able to set weather per neighborhood, since you can travel between them.

Yeah that will be the end of the game for me. Having season confined to one vacation world is worse than no toddlers for me. It is why I am slowly buying packs and only when they are on sale because I am afraid of what they are going to do with seasons. If I had an idea of what to expect with the game, I might be more inclined to spend my money. I am afraid to invest in this game too much.

I will also be frustrated if they don't have options for rotation. I want my rotation of sims to experience a season before it changes.

Give us weather in all worlds, or don't give us Seasons at all!

After finally feeling happy about this game after sooo long, it would really tear me to shreds. Since we're not in the scenario at the moment though (as far as I know). I can only imagine depending on how bad it could be I'd either be done with just TS4 alone or just any new iterations period.

I don't think I need to add anything else.

Sims 1 vacations were all in one pack as well as I recall. You just did not have any weather in the regular game.

In 2017 I'd be pretty disappointed if weather can not be in all worlds, current and to come. While weather was ok in TS2..that's an old game now...Games have evolved well past that set up these days.

However, my gut tells me weather will be world specific and probably destination worlds at that. :|

I would love to see a weather system similar to what we had in TS2. The entire world had weather. Each sub-hood had its own weather. IIRC, we could even determine how long each season lasted for each hood (or maybe that was TS3, I forget). It was wonderful.

Oasis Springs could have very, very rare and brief rainfall with cool evenings in the "winter", perhaps.

Willow Creek, Newcrest, Magnolia Promenade, San Myshuno, and Granite falls could have all four seasons (they seem to be in high summer, at the moment).

Windenburg could be foggy and rainy, with a longer winter. However, the spring and summer could be bright and beautiful, as it is now.

Forgotten Hollow could be foggy, rainy, and cold most of the time. (Hopefully, with darker nights.)

The possibility of choices makes me very happy. I hope that it comes to fruition. The one thing that I'm not going to do is buy a pack for each of the three remaining seasons. That would be going too far.

I needed an "I wouldn't be perfectly happy but would probably end up buying anyway" option.
