Seasons: how long is your spring, summer, fall and winter?

Interesting. Well, I have been playing TS4 for a while now and since I have Seasons I have been playing Spring, Summer, Fall 28 days and Winter 7 days. I don't use a mod, just manually switch to 7 days on the first day of Winter and then switch back to 28 days per season on the first day of Spring. I like all the seasons, but playing through 28 days of Winter would be terribly depressing to me.
In TS3 it was much more convenient to change the length of the season and I remember basically having the same settings back then.

Fall, winter, and spring are all 7 days. Summer is 28 days because I love dressing my female sims in cute summertime outfits. Sundresses, shorts, capris, sandals, etc.

I have a mod that makes the seasons 21 days long. I think it's just perfect like that.

It depends on my save... usually I garden a lot so I like to set them for 14 days so I can actually get a good seasonal garden going. But with normal aging it feels weird for a Sim to spend an entire period of their life in only one or two seasons, so I do like 7-days. I have actually just used MCCC to change their age range (just made Adult and YA each 10 days longer- we need more time to be young and hot haha!), so I will probably keep it to 14 days. Winter is kind of a bummer but that's ok, it's like that in real life too.

I make mine 28 days long in TS3 unless I'm trying to get to Fall or Winter or Spring quickly so that I can dress my Sims up and decorate their house so that I can take pictures for whatever the holidays that fall during that time... :)

Season's in my game are set to the longest possible time span, the same with my Sim's lives. Otherwise I feel as though they're too short to really be enjoyed and made the most out of.

Normally I keep mine on the default 7 days and sometimes I'll use a mod to adjust the lifespan to be more realistic around season length. But even on saves where I don't have ageing enabled I'll leave it on 7 because I get tired of surroundings very quickly and need the seasons to rapid-cycle or I'll get tired of it too fast. (My Sims move house very frequently for similar reasons.)

I play TS4 and have my seasons on 14 days each. I wanted to make sure that my Sims got to experience each season and holiday plenty of times in their lives. I play on a long life span if that makes any difference. :smile:

I feel that 28 days would be too long and 7 too short, although I may try 28 in a new save one day and see.

I never considered having seasons of different lengths, does that not mess up holidays and birthdays? @Netzspannung @simgirl1010

I like spring and summer to be 28 days, and switch to 7 days for fall and winter. I don't really like winter, and wish I could by pass it sometimes. Then remember when a lot of good holidays happen.

@GirlFromIpanema time really has no meaning in my game. ? I play with aging off and celebrate birthdays and holidays when I feel the time is right.
