What I like about this pack it that you don’t have to force yourself to use it, it naturally comes into your everyday gameplay

Fun fact about fall leaves: The reason the leaves die and fall off is to prevent the tree from dehydrating in the winter and dying. Photosynthesis uses water moisture and would remove too much water from the tree during winter, causing it to die, so the tree cuts off its leaves when the temperature starts dropping and hybernates.

10:00 there are some weak "consequences": if your sim fails certain holidays they will have sad moodlet for a couple of hours, if your sim finishes a holiday they will get 100-500 bonus points for the reward store. Honestly, with the not-so-new likes/dislike system, I wish we had like/dislike holidays and if your sim fails a holiday they will hate it and have tense/angry moodlet when the holiday comes up (would be even better if for those sims, instead of usual holiday goals it would have "ruin the holiday for everyone" goal instead, I think it'd be really funny).

Another cross-pack thing is that vampires can go outside during the day when it's cloudy/raining, or anytime if they have an umbrella

I love that you make your own holidays . I have for example made a summer holiday for my sims and selected free from school and work so now my sims have actual summer holidays . 🙂

I was new to the sims community in 2020 and my thought process when seeing the multitude of dlc was, why are they forcing me to pay for weather and jobs, that should be in the normal game. I remember seeing strangerville vampires and even journey to batuu and thinking they made more sense as dlc because they are optional different ways to play, not something that is almost needed to have a good experience. Honestly I should have ran when I had the chance, I’ve been conditioned to think paying 10 dollars to do laundry is the coolest thing ever.

I really appreciate when you’re showing the build/buy you don’t put down every swatch of each item, making it look like way more than it actually is the way a lot of creators do when reviewing packs. It gives realistic expectations for what you’re getting if you buy.

the only thing that annoys me since i have seasons.. the emotions of the sims changing every second. aswell as being scared of storms so dramatic, its kinda annoying but i love the pack as a whole anyways :)

[tmf]

Americans often say "fall" but usually we understand "autumn" and sometimes use the word, except in some recent years when we have summer and then two days later it's winter, but the one day in between is called "plummet", because the leaves don't turn lovely colors and decorously fall off the trees, they just suddenly turn brown and plummet to the ground all at once. (It was yesterday.) Often the day before plummet is very pretty because all the leaves turn golden and for a day it looks like the trees are made of gold, then the next day they plummet.

I genuinely love your reviews. It’s honest and refreshing. It’s not just hating on the whole pack or saying it’s the best thing ever, it’s just an honest review that doesn’t have too much of a bias

[kendoll]

I don’t think I could play without this pack it adds a cosy realistic vibe! I love when it storms & I love decorating the Christmas tree and stuff

[piperbird]

I love playing as the kids and doing the scouting stuff. And I super love decorating the xmas tree together as a family. I really enjoy this pack. Although my sims are always gardeners and this pack did make that more complicated. But Patchy and the bee house are amazing for helping out with gardening.

Winter is my least favorite season IRL, but you're right, it's really great in the Sims, I think it might be my favorite season for games when I have kids. There's so much to do, and it's all really pretty.

I still can't get over the fact we didn't get snow depth

[jayhillxo]

the sims 3 seasons:
seasons/weather
holidays
colds/allergies
outerwear (that actually mattered)
festivals
ice skating on ponds
snow depth
pumpkin carving
aliens
fog
rainbows
realistic rain
integration with supernatural

the sims 4 seasons:
seasons/weather
holidays (kind of better imo)
activities related to given holidays
heatwaves
gardening overhaul

the sims 3 feels like the seasons have more impact. your sim is actually affected by things from the pack itself. your sim can get allergies from picking flowers, they can get sick from staying in the cold too long or being in contact with other sims with colds. the clothing they wore in cold weather ACTUALLY mattered.
the sims 4s seasons feels like a filter over the game. it’s raining and my sim gets a little icon saying they’re uncomfortable by the rain. like everything is just so surface level. you sim could be wearing a bikini as their cold weather outfit, but as long as they have it on in the cold they will be fine. not to mention they made those outfit categories base game for no reason. the calendar was pretty cool, but they made it base game. i don’t think that’s bad, but it just takes away another feature from this already dry $40 pack. i remember first getting sims 3 seasons, and hearing a little jingle with a notification that my kids got to stay home from school because how bad it was snowing. the sims also got a moodlet that lasted making them happy about it too. just small things like that are nowhere to be found in sims 4. that or they are put into the completely wrong areas of game play that don’t matter.

overall the sims 4 seasons depth is as deep as a dried puddle

"If you really want weather and can afford it..."
Hilarious xDDD

[epicstyle]

I always found it weird that there was Halloween decorations but there's no actual Halloween event or anything. Unless I'm insane and that exists 💀

[kittymae]

I can't imagine playing without Seasons, everything would feel so flat. I also love the scouting and always use it when playing kids and teens

[hottatgirl]

Seasons is actually a great pack. I love the snow too and the build items are some of my favorites, I just wish there was more doors because they’re both medium height and two tiles wide. I have never had a successful water balloon or snowball fight. They just stand around doing nothing.

I've been going back and forth between several different EP's but I honestly think this is the one I'm going for. The gardening part will work well for both of my current sims. Piper (Mermaid) on Sulani is an entertainer and loves to host get-togethers, so that will be perfect for her for the holidays. Luka (Merman) is stranded on an island that is off-grid (he can't leave the island nor talk with other sims) with no money and has a very lovely garden so the gardening portion of the game is ideal for him. Especially that portion where he can sell arrangements. The beehive will work for both of them. I'll be buy it today and ty again for another thorough review.

The scouts actually do unlock new scout outfits with lots of badges, they just don't get automatically applied unfortunately.
