(By request, I made this a poll in hopes that my previous thread will be merged with this one.)So when Seasons comes out, we'll have a choice to pick which season we want to start with for each save. I'm pretty sure I'm going to begin with Autumn in my Vampires save, which will put me in Windenburg if I want to play with my main Vampire household. But in my other long-term save that I've been playing since shortly after Sims 4's release, I have many households all over the worlds, so I'm not sure where I want to start. There are so many maps I want to see in full seasonal splendor!But I'm thinking I might just start off with the basics and pick a household in Willow Creek in the Spring and hope to see rain and a nice thunderstorm. That sounds like a good way to begin. <3What are your plans for your first season?

I think I'm gonna start with summer as the game always looked as in summer for me then me and my sims will watch how the weather will change as the time goes and seasons change.

But I think my favorite summer activity so far will be the water balloon fights. I loved those in Sims 2 so I'm really glad to see them return.

Hopefully it’ll still rain, but I want something different than what we’ve had for four years. But I am tempted to start in summer just so I can experience those glorious mud puddles I saw, and test the heatwaves & possible sun burns.Mostly the mud puddles tho :D Right, I forgot about the mud puddles! I bet there's going to be a lot of hygiene drops in that season. :D

What Season and What World Will You Start With?

I’ll be starting in brindleton bay as that’s were my two outdoorsy sims are currently living while I slowly bring them together for seasons. I may move them to windenburg though it sort of depends on which world has a better winter.

I’ll start on fall since it’s been summer forever and then go from there. I hope when you play long life that it also makes the seasons longer.

Ah nice, I was going to do a poll about this :D Maybe you can include one for the "which season will you start with" part? I'd love to see the percentages :D

Anyway to the question:
I'll continue my own save, where ageing has now been turned off until we're finally getting seasons :D My fav family, my archeologist family, has just been waiting for the fall forever! I can't wait to send my kids out to hark the leaves, watch them have mud fights, keep bees and eat self-made honey during a family harvest feast. They live on the island in Brindleton Bay, so I can't wait to take the dogs, Akyla & Lucy, out for a walk on rainy days. I also can't wait to finally use the fire place in the game which I always put in my builds but absolutely never use because it always looks so warm outside xD

But, knowing me, I'll also be creating a new family in an entirely new save, because I always end up doing that when a new pack comes out. I also find new packs cause less issues in new saves, for some reason. Perhaps cause it doesn't need to "recode internally" lol. I'm sure that makes little sense, but it's what it feels like to me. In that save, I might just start with winter. Because I'd love to see the snow and I absolutely hate summer in real life (like seriously, why does anyone enjoy heat waves?! Why????), so it will be nice to at least see my sims have a cool time while I'm dying inside :D I want to go take them to the ice skating rink, make snowangels, have a gift giving party and everything.

Anyway, I CANNOT WAIT for seasons to be here <3 <3

WC autumn I think, I m dying for a change from the sunny weather and blue skies. Want to see the trees change colour, wind and rain, and I can’t wait to throw a bonfire party and Halloween, never really used spooky stuff pack as the seasons never changed before.

I'm playing in Brindleton Bay and Windenburg in my current save and rotating. I really wouldn't mind starting in any or even whatever the game defaults too because I want to see the effects of the climate in general, heat, rain, snow ect.. on the sims and the plants. I'll probably focus on my gardening families the most until I get a hang of it. Do we get to choose how long a season will last?

I think we can pick a season to start with & that we can set season length. Not sure how that will work exactly @ picking length, but technically as far we know now, yes, you can choose how long a season lasts :)

I'm doing the Build Newcrest challenge, so Newcrest in summer. I'd like to have a short build-up before my favorite season fall arrives. Plus a lot of my Sims are already (unintentionally) in summer dress.

I'm looking forward to having my Sim at their penthouse in SM, dramatically playing their violin near the window as it downpours. Probably kick out a Sim from their household beforehand, or lose their love of their life, so it gets extra emotional. However, before having that crestfallen breakthrough... I'd start out in Windenburg since that's where I'm playing right now. Winter would be nice.

That's also my reasoning. I'm still thinking about with which family experience Seasons for the first time, but I guess I'll be starting with summer, just to get used to and see more gradual changes :) The only exception might be my Legacy family, which is also the only save I have with aging on normal. I'm gonna pick the autumn for them, just to be safe that the oldest generation will make it to the Winterfest.

They will have bees, new harvestables and start practicing floral arranging to make things to sell in their little shop downtown. I want to start in Autumn or Spring, I haven't decided yet.

That lots looks awesome! Is it saved on the gallery by chance?

Thank you! No it isn't, I uaually don't build much so I haven't thought of it. But I'll try to remember to upload it - my ID is the same as my nickname.
