I was excited; but everyone keeps bringing me down. I don't mind the snow as much as the some things that should be in it that aren't. One expansion year is already limited and should have more time to focus on them, so why omit some basic stuff? One thing for something I can understand, especially if it could be easily implemented in another pack (sunburn and tanning along would swimming in ocean could work for a beach world).

But no hail? No lounging in or by the pool? No allergies or picnics? All could be in the game somewhat and is the perfect time for it (even if they have to toggle hail or make it less 3D if it can still still affect sims like have then hurt, sore, or even bad hail storms could kill them). What good is a weather pack with lack of options and weathers? If we had to wait until later in the year as we usually do, I would be fine with that (especially if it is a big pack that most want). Instant gratification and all that is not good as look how it feels more rushed?

I want to be excited but is it hard when everyone and everything is such a downer. I still like some ideas and features overall so I will still want to get it. Maybe they should tell us more about what is actually in the game? I get they don't want to spoil it all yet with EA Play and the live streaming coming up; but showing some things that are new, improved or in the game might help get people more excited and less focused on the negatives.


I don't mind if it isn't like Sims 3 as I dislike that game and quit for a reason; I just want more things to do and some thing added in. The game gets boring when it is sort of lacking.

If you have Parenthood GP you can just pack everyone a bag lunch to take to the park. And there's always grilling. So lack of picnics doesn't bother me.

I gather with the multitasking system that lounge chairs are tricky to program -- I think we could see them (along with tanning/burning) in a beach vacation pack.

I'm also okay with no hailstorms -- lightning is enough for me, especially since we've got 3 weather related deaths in Seasons (lightning, overheating, and freezing). Hail deaths would be one death too many.

What I'm excited about is giving more usefulness for gardening: the actual Gardening career, flower arranging which gives a purpose to all those flowers my Sims have stuck in storage chests. And the return of beekeeping from Sims 3 Supernatural is also a great addition. More harvestables and recipes are also welcome -- I was going to download some custom harvestables but now I think I'll hold off till I see what plants we get.

I'm currently working on a family of Sims who are going to be moving to a farm in Windenburg, so this pack is perfect for that storyline.

I was when it was first announced, but now I am off the hype train.
Seasons can wait until the next stuff pack and game pack comes out, then I will buy all three.

I had a lot of fun with so much content the last time I did that. Maybe I will even catch Seasons on sale.
I am having a lot of fun with other games right now, so The Sims can sit on the shelf for a while.
Also, there may be some big titles coming out between now and then, so I should have enough distractions

I am beyond excited. Counting down the days... and minutes even. Lol.

Me too! This pack has always been my very most favorite of any of them in the franchise. Now I won't have to go back to Sims 3 for thunderstorms. <3 Very excited!!

One day closer. Hopefully we'll get a little more info Tweets tomorrow.

I'm hoping for a trailer, maybe more details about the new harvestables and changes to gardening (seasonal plants?)

I live in Maryland where it's been raining almost non-stop for the past week but I can't wait to hear the rain in game. :)

Uch I wish I was in Maryland. We had only one day of heavy rain and apparently I was the only one that felt extremely happy about it xD I hate warm weather and heat, I'd take a week of beautiful, hypnotic rain over a week of hot weather in a heartbeat :D

I know better than to be excited. There is little information right now and while it all sounds good on paper we have no idea how it's going to actually impact us in game. For this reason I will hold my feelings until we know more and until it's in hand. I find when I have low expectations I tend to at least enjoy things more when I do play with it. I'm also not excited for having to redo everyone's wardrobe. It's gonna be a lot of work, but hopefully it'll be for a good reason. Though I am a little worried about CC. I hope we will be able to add our own tags or TS4 studio will have a way to add tags to CC. I'd hate to lose so much of my CC clothing.

Despite the things that have been confirmed to not come with Seasons, I'm still excited.

Swings, floral career stuff, calendars, new outfit categories for winter AND summer, and so on.

I was very excited, until I saw the trailer and realized that Seasons was suddenly very light on seasonal effects.

Normally, I'm more about substance than aesthetics. Normally. However, it's really difficult for me to overlook seasonal effects in which the whole purpose of the pack is to celebrate and immerse ourselves in seasons. Leaving those things out seems so bass ackwards as to be nearly unbelievable. But then, I remind myself that this is TS4 and that there is always some integral feature that is sacrificed. Always.

So, it's now up to EA to sell me on things that were worth the sacrifice.

So far, there's nothing that I've seen that wows me. Everything thing that we've seen has already been in TS2 and/or TS3. Both of which managed to have those things and to still complete the spectrum of seasonal effects.

As a result, TS4 needs to have something totally new that incorporates into the game so thoroughly as to be a necessity. Depending on how they are implemented, custom holidays have that potential.

Are there any other features that have been mentioned so far that seem to have that same level of universal usefulness?

Uhmmmm...nah. ::smh::

I am extremely looking forward to seasons in Sims 4! I actually like the fact that there is no deep snow in that sense! There are certain environments where snow just simply never becomes deep, but instead freezes right away and becomes sparkling and more of a surface to walk on! I experienced both kinds in Germany, where I am originally from.

When I was a child there was deep snow, I could build tunnels in it. Later on there was hardly a white Christmas anymore. Not much of snow and if, then only on the surface.

I do understand all those people who wanted deep snow, but looking at the images, the trailer and all those beautiful weather effects, such as heavy storm, thunder etc. makes me truly look forward to the release of this game!

I know from experience, every single pack was complained about before it came out, later everyone devoured it. I feel the same with seasons, once we play it, we may will see that this was the way to go after all. Because most of the snow atmosphere only comes to reality anyway through sound effects, such as foot crunching, ice cracking etc. I am sure these things were included! :smile:
