What I really wanted out of the seasons EP, and what I've wanted out of past ones, are core features that change how I play. Weather, seasonal changes, temperature systems, and season/weather based CAS categories. These are all coming plus they are adding a calendar that I'm over the moon for and a thermostat system I wasn't expecting at all. Systems added to the game that give me a sense of time passing and that my sims aren't stuck in Groundhog day. Holidays, traits, and the new career are also high on my list. This was the gameplay I was looking for. Objects with a few animations are probably the easiest things for them to add and I expect tie ins from future GPs and SPs.
I respect that other players were looking for more seasonal specific animations/actions and I'm sorry they feel disappointed. It's rough to be excited for a notion of something, like seasons, and then it be nothing you wanted.
