Let me elaborate on my choice. I don't want Seasons to be an Expansion based on the EP's they've released so far. I'd rather the GP team tackle that instead. That way there would actually be some in-depth gameplay. I don't want or need a world released with it, just modify the existing ones to allow for the new effects. I could see the GP team actually offering choices for weather instead of it being a forced thing for each world.
In theory I would guess every one wants seasons like that - but then there is two issues - 1 - this game will not work with toggles according to the devs and that would take some kind of toggle or switch - and number 2 - weather would affect every world - and the way they (the devs) keep stating they cannot do anything that changes finished worlds in this game because it breaks saves - so sounds to me as seasons turned each time it happens our saves would be no good. Apparently they have been trying since get to work came out to fix these two issues but apparently could not seeing to answer us who have not been able to get abductions since the turned them down and still could not make a toggle or switch they turned the abduction up a little instead.
So if any thing more then a tuning breaks the saves how the heck is the game going to even allow gradual changes to all the finished worlds anyway as that would be a switch affect - to give player choices would be a toggle. The only way I could see it happen at all is via FX and of course Sims do not react or inter-react to fx programing. So what good is seasons if it becomes as fake as the backgrounds and fx cars and such already in the game. If we want inter - reaction in the game with weather affects it seems to be it would have to be like Sims 1 was - the weather related vacation spots.
Of course like many of us I am still hoping they find a way to do it Sims 3 style - but I have almost zero confidence in that happening and one reason I voted no for Seasons to be next. University would be nice and not have risks like that. Maybe an Ocean liner vacation / Honeymoon/ or family Vacation that visits some fun ports.
