https://i.imgur.com/BlAMdeM.pngI was patiently waiting for the winter and fall blog to see if there's any fun *cough* NEW *cough* gameplay activity but all what's mentioned is a calender and drinking hot coca and inviting guests to a party..i mean WOW I'm really impressed..i mean besides ice skating (which is literally the only new gameplay thing you can do in winter)I'm sorry I'm really trying hard to find anything interesting to do in fall and winter I'm tired of endless summer and please no, drinking hot chocolate is not a new gameplay, inviting guests is not a new gameplay, you can already do that in game I want GAMEPLAY please prove me wrong and tell how if there's fun gameplay I don't want to lose hope because seasons is my Fav EPsI could just forget about deep snow, no hail, no sunburnt or tan if there's actually good gameplay..EA seems to do what's the easiest less tasking things and recycling ideas and talk about them and promoting them as a new gameplay, like no sorry drinking hot coca is not a new gameplay neither inviting guests to eat in your house Why EA has to be lazy..why Changed thread title - EA_Cian

That's how I feel too. It is starting look that besides Santa there is nothing really gameplay wise. Especially when the calendar is a major feature.

I'd hate to jump to EA's defense again, but in the interest of being fair, they haven't shown everything yet.But they did show snowball fights, snowmen, and snow angels among other things in the trailer. Those aren't "nothing" last I checked. There are probably lots of things I'm forgetting.I know it's bad that the release of info is slow, but just wait until more is shown before jumping to conclusions.

I can't believe calender is a major feature, like literally this is super easy to do and EA tries to find the less exciting tasks to do in very lazy way to not work harder on this EP and make it exciting A calender is the major feature..i mean lol..i dunno whether to cry or laugh Any modder can make calender feature in a week it's super easy and doesn't take much coding, I don't get people who excited for this and forget all the awesome things we could do in fall in Sims 3 from haunted house to participating in contests

When has EA hidden a ton of fun features for sims 4. Snow angelsSnow ball fightShoveling weird piles for no reasonSnowmenIce skating. Santa- I don't trust him yet because of those evil bearsThree decorating. Shoveling is the new feature.

I have said this before but..The Sims 4 lags depth and everything is shallow. I'm sorry to say but it wont change. So this doesn't surprise me at all. Every pack may look pretty but that's about it. To me TS 1-3 were better.(Exceptions Parenthood & Vampires, those are good packs and very detailed)

What New Features will there be besides Calendar?

My general rule with TS4: GPs are good and for the rest... Never get my hopes up too much...

I guess I understand what you're saying, things like snowboarding, igloos, and skiing would have been cool.

I'm not sure what else I could possibly think of, though. When I think of winter IRL, I think of snowball fights, snowmen, snow angels, shoveling, and most importantly - holidays. I've been ice skating a few times and skiing once (although I hated it!), so maybe I'm biased but I think everything we've been told about so far sounds just amazing. It's exactly what I would have asked for for my sims.

I'm sorry there doesn't seem to be enough game play for you, though. I really hope if there aren't anymore features being added that you find something about the EP that you will enjoy.

This is starting to get depressing every time they release any info its adding no game play make a turkey sip some cocoa I'm sorry that's the best they got instead of saying and so much more they maybe should of listed something more that's fun beyond new food. Here's a crazy idea tell us something we don't know about if there content/gameplay we don't know about which I'm starting to doubt.

Like I said in another thread, I'm kinda disappointed there's no new winter activities other than stuff we already had in previous Seasons EPs. Ice skating, snowman building, snowball fighting and snow angels have been in all of them so far (with the exception of ice skating, this also includes TS1 Vacation).
