What New Features will there be besides Calendar?

https://i.imgur.com/BlAMdeM.png

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

    I don't know, it was mentionned that the weather would be different "for each world", so it could be the same for holidays


    Question. So does this mean if i have families living in Oasis Springs they probably wont be able to experience snow?


    I don't know if it will snow in OS but in any case they will be able to experience snow by travelling to a lot in a world that has snow during winter.

    Ok. Thanks. Though that kinda blows since it sounds like there are only "certain" worlds that will experience ALL weather types. Probably Willow Creek, Brindleton Bay, Newcrest, maaaybe San Myshuno (maybe). But im doubtful of Oasis Springs getting snow and Windenburg getting really hot summers. Which upsets me since Oasis Springs is my fav world and i quite like Windenburg too. So in order for my sims family to experience ALL weather types at home, i will have to move them.
    Im going to hold off until we get more information, but if this is the case, this is a big let down and feels like the devs once again controlling how i play the game.


    A lot of players were worried about the snow in Oasis Springs, in the sense that it's not realistic to have a lot of snow in the desert. I aree with them, and I think that the devs chose simply more logical solution. There's also always the weather machine so you can make your Oasis Spings unique with heavy snow and all :)

    Cool. So if the weather machine can bring snow to whatever world i choose thats fine with me. Whether its using a weather machine or Game Option toggles to set the weather. Either way works. Just as long as im able to decide how i choose to play each world.


    It was said that if you create snow in a world in which the weather is really hot (like Selvadorada) it won't stay long though :/ But I guess even in OS it shouldn't be too hot in winter
  • Yeah they did a flip little answer about the weather machine being used in the Jungle.. thing is it's hotter there so that doesn't mean the snow would last. Would still be fun.
    I'm also one of the simmers that doesn't really want to see snow in Oasis Springs. I wouldn't mind flurries now and then but snow lasting wouldn't make sense to me. I'm looking forward to see how they think about this.
    I'm really looking forward to the weather machine too.

    I’m amazed at how negative some of you are about this. I hope EA takes away your ability to even get the game because you don’t deserve it. Some of us are ecstatic to even be GETTING a Seasons EP so hush up.
    If your that disappointed then don’t buy the flippin game.

    This post is just wrong in so many levels...
