I 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 EPs

I 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

Good. I'd rather have a world with beaches and suntanning, maybe some ball sports, kids being able to play tag and build sand castles than have a calendar to plan when my sim should go out to make a snow angel.

Too if they would have added a world we wouldn't be getting Seasons in June. We'd be getting it in November.

You have the question answered right here with our behavior. Extremely many people anticipate the release of Seasons, including myself! Counting down the days and preparing stuff for it, like game changes before hand etc. If we have an actual functional calendar in game we can create the same anticipation for certain events, such as family visiting etc. and much more. I for myself know it will help, I have way too much to do in my real life, can't keep track of my Sim's life as well. So I don't write anything down and as a fact never had a party event yet, because I just don't have the incentive to prepare for it days in advance and anticipate it. I know the calendar + the weather of course will bring tons of energy into my Sims game style!

This.

So your sim gets engaged...

• You put the wedding in the calendar.
  

Is that it? NOPE!

• Weddings need fancy togs! Schedule an event to go dress/suit shopping wiith the bridesmaids/groomsmen.
  
• Crowded house? Book a honeymoon for some alone time after the wedding.
  
• What about food? Plan a tasting of cakes at a bakery or sample meals at a restaurant.
  
• Get the girls/lads together for a hen/stag party.
  
• Future Mother-in-Law needs to chill? Have a spa day together before the wedding.
  

And finally...

• Wedding Day! Do the thing with the ring.
  
• Head off on honeymoon, get pregnant and start planning for the baby's arrival.

Well hopefully it would've put more on the table then instead of rushing it out so they can sell winter stuff in a few months.

I've never been disappointed in seasons pack. Until now.

You can already do all this though. You don't need the calendar to do those. I understand it will make things easier to organize for you but you don't actually need an in game feature to plan things either.
