I don't get my expectations up to super high levels. I want them to make what they want to make. Then in livestreams and reviews I'll see if I want it or not.
Too often I see people get all upset or disappointed if their imaginary packs didn't become reality. I'd rather just take reality for what it is and go from there. :)
All I want is for the weather in seasons to be adjustable. Anything beyond that is a bonus.
But that is not going to happen if they cannot make sims 4 have toggles or apply changes to worlds we already have without breaking saves - that means it will have to be pre-programmed on a weather loop kind of thing not to break our saves - and that would include all the seasons if we cannot turn individual seasons off or on with a toggle or limit or lengthen days of each with same.
The devs have stated this before - even recently that only they can tune activities on their end - and we saw how well that went when they tuned down on alien abductions - they stopped period - so they turn them back on finally. They had to not tune down the vamps as some players wanted because those of us who bought the pack for the full vamp experience went bonkers after what they did to aliens - so they announced they will not touch the vamps and gave us back the alien abduction.
Smart technology engine design itself takes control from the player and apparently the devs as well once the game is completed - and it is not forgiving when anyone attempts to mess with it's final finished product. On this system - control is not ours that is pretty clear. At least not thus far anyway.
That may or may not be true, we won't know until it comes out. We can turn autonomy on and off for various Sims. We can turn aging on and off. We can add lot traits on and off at a whim. Wouldn't surprise me if we could turn the weather on and off or adjust it in some way, as it tends to just be special effects anyway. Quite frankly, they should have options for weather anyways because it's such a performance hog. It should have a bit more priority than alien abductions in that respect.
But we'll see.
Base game controls were built into the design - the difficulty only comes when they try to add new base game controls once the base game was completed or try to tune what was originally programmed into the base game. You cannot go by anything that was in the game since the bg.
But we can all have wishful thinking - and hope for a miracle I suppose. It is just I fear what I know - but then I don't know everything. So you are right all we can do is wait and see -
