As seasons has been speculated to be next big expansion pack for The Sims 4, I decided to create this place for simmers to post their ideas for the expansion pack team before it's too late, as if seasons is the next expansion, the team has most likely started working on it.
Here's the list so far:
General
New gameplay objects

Winter

Spring
General
Here's the list so far:

- The weather will be colder than summer and have the probability of rain, thunderstorms, fog and hail. Snow is more possible than probable, and will occasionally happen.
- Sims will automatically use their outerwear clothing when going outside. They can go outside in every type of clothing, but if they do so they will become sick.
- Trees and bushes will turn orange, yellow and brown. Tropical type plants such as palms will not change their color.

Holidays!
A weather machine for my crazy inventor to use to control the weather.
If they have a new world a wintery wonderland would be cool where we can build resorts and cabins. A tropical island would be cool too but I would probably expect this is a vacations gp.
Also, bump.
Well, they could just add a bit more Halloween objects and clothing to make it have the Halloween feeling and then the people who have Spooky Stuff can get the extra things the pack adds. Since Holiday Celebration is free, it can be an optional choice for the player to have Christmas stuff for their Sims to celebrate with on Snowflake Day.
A regular sized diving board is also a must for me. I know they love large ugly things but who thought the diving platform was a good idea.
It could also be the spot for big festive celebrations relating to Christmas or gift giving, large feasts and such that only happen in the colder months.
Yes you can easily throw in Christmas and thanksgiving as they are both holidays consisting of large amounts of food.
In terms to what you could do in a seasonal pack, I’d like to see flower picking, snowball fights, sims being shoved into large mounds of snow without getting a negative moodlit.
Heartier meals such as stews and pies, recipes relating to cold weather.
I know we have pies and stews now but nothing hurts throwing on a new texture and making it chicken stew! Or pork pie. Something easy for the team but adds a bit more life for us.
Also who doesn’t love a good chicken pot pie...okay maybe the sims with the vegan trait but you know what I mean.
With the spring months it’s obvious to introduce fertility, birth of the new year and such. The ideas already lifted are brilliant and I’d love to see them put into an expansion pack.
Personally with spring, I’d like the romance festival to promote weddings, push sims to get engaged and start a family, invest in the cliche things it’s supposed to bring even if it’s an annoyance to people.
With summer...besides fun in the sun, I’d like to see certain sims suffer as we do because let’s be honest, when it’s hot...none of us enjoy ourselves and though we love the time off...we also want to feel the chill of Jack Frost...in a less troubling manner of speaking.
Elderly sims have the ability to faint under the heat, as do weaker sims in general. Sims of all ages have the chance to burn their feet if they go on the pavement barefoot because it’s so freaking hot and certain vegetables and fruits wither because they aren’t made to handle the extreme temperatures.
Ice cream melts if left outside the fridge.
Plants can catch on fire as can clothes if you have the new laundry stuff pack.
Animals can become distressed and be taken away if not properly treated during the heat and food can spoil quicker.
If you’re a vampire....just don’t leave the house because you will instantaneously turn to ash. Just stay inside, put on some Netflix and binge watch true blood or the vampire dairies cus you will burn, baby....you will burn......DISCO INFERNO.
Im sorry I had to do that.
Anyway, these are a few things I’d like to see in the seasons pack...along with that song.
The swimming skill could increase the toddler a being able to swim in the big pool by themselves WITH A FLOATY and the older people can get better at swimming and do races in the pool, do more tricks off the diving board maybe? I think those would be some cool ideas!
I need many kinds of trees and terrain with stream and waterfall.
like.....
- sakura and pastel flowers for spring. (already added)
- palm, coconut, bigger sunflower, and colorful flower for summer.
- maple, ginko and autumn ground for autumn.
- Christmas tree with presents and three with light for winter.
- HOT SPRING and groundhot tub!!
Just think about it, I'll really enjoy to live in sims 4 world.
For your considerarion.
New recipes: Spring Mix Salad, Christmas Cookies, Christmas or Easter Ham, Roast Turkey, and Pulled Pork
New objects: Air Conditioners, Heaters, Thermostats, Smokers, Juicers, Greenhouses, Stands, and Fireworks
Flower stands that sell seeds of new kinds of harvestables spawn during spring
WooHooing on Love Day will always give a good moodlet
In Fall there should also be a Harvest Day, similar to Thanksgiving and harvest festivals in Europe. Sims would also have a free day and harvestables planted on that day will have the "perfect" quality. Also you could make Roast Turkey as a family dinner, Sims will get a whim to eat Roast Turkey on that day.
So, you get two small Granite Falls-sized worlds, one's a tropical, coastal resort town, and the other's a ski lodge.
The resort town gets busy during summer, and the ski lodge is busy during winter, but other than that they're pretty sleepy little towns with all the gameplay you'd expect from a beach or a ski slope. You can go swimming, sunbathe, build sandcastles, play beach sports (cricket or volleyball), or go skiing, build snowmen/snow angels, have snowball fights, and relax by the roaring fire, depending on the season.
Then, throw in a hotel-running system, so we can also build resorts in OTHER towns. Bed & Breakfasts in Windenburg and Brindleton Bay, casinos in Oasis Springs and San Myshuno, or just a straight-up billion-dollar hotel on one of San Myshuno's penthouses ("the Four Seasons", if you will).
