Want to keep my seasons at two weeks each but had so many holiday ideas I decided that some of them will only suit some of my saves and not all of them. Each save will have 2 basic holidays per season plus one extra holiday or event specific to that save.
All seasons are the same length which you can change in OPTIONS, but, I would think popping in and out of OPTIONS when seasons change would lead to a lot of issues, like calendar issues with holidays and events moving around.
I'm personally going to keep seasons at 4 weeks bc I have a TON of holidays to add for my sims. Since I'm German, I'm going to add in a lot of the different Fests we have like Frühlings Fest or Folks Fest. I'm also looking forward to being able to celebrate a proper Chanukah in the sims :)
I think I'll go with 2 weeks. I feel like it's just long enough so that I can truly enjoy it and explore more before it gets boring. It's almost time to download!

DEFinitely 4 weeks for me! I play with aging off and like to deal with things as if they're moving in real time. The main family I play with has a teen that I view as being in his senior year but I've been waiting to do anything major for a while now because I wanted it to seem real! Like I've been waiting to get more packs so I can give him and his classmates a makeshift prom. So now that Seasons is here I'm going to start with summer and have that be the summer before his senior year (do they get summer off??? I'll just pretend. >w<) and then go through the whole "year" with the 4 week seasons and then at the end have there be prom!
I'll see how it goes. >w< But I definitely want as much time with them and the seasons as I can get!
At first I thought it was definitely going to be two weeks, but to get to know the seasons first, I might leave it at one week for now... and then, maybe I will leave it at one week permanently, just so I don't have to wait forever to play Christmas or All Hags' Eve again with another family. We'll see. But four weeks are definitely too long for me, I suppose.
I started in summer since that seems the game’s default season before Seasons. Chose one week so it’ll quickly go into autumn. I’ll change it to two weeks after that.
> @paradiseplanet said: > Well, I wish I could set each individual season by how long I wanted them (2 wks of spring, 1 wk of summer, 2 wks of fall, 4 wks of winter), but I guess I'll just have to settle for 4 weeks for all (4 wks of summer is ugh). No matter though, I needed more room to place more holidays anyway.
That's a great idea! I'm about 6+ hours in the gameplay of Seasons and I'm starting to get a little annoyed with the constant holidays. I'm thinking of expanding the seasons to 4 weeks.
By the way, I sent you an Origin friend request if you're interested!
7 days for now. I don't play very often (except right now when it's new), so longer seasons would take forever to come through. When making movies I hope there is a way to adjust season length, or I might just not save that game.
I am going to vary it in saves. My rotation will have 28 days, that'll give each household roughly 3 days in each season before I make it back to the start.
My others I'm torn between 7 and 14.. 7 seems short, but then i do get bored easily. But then 14 would give them more time to enjoy the seasons properly..
1 week per seasons is perfect for my Sim lifespans. ^ u^ I've been experiencing everything just fine and don't really need more time, especially since the seasons will rotate anyway. *shrugs* I don't want to run out of things to do on my first look at the season.
Simmer since day one. Owns every Expansion and extras. Even the console games. XD

Through gameplay testing I've found that I'm quite comfortable with 14 days since I'm an impatient person when it comes to waiting for the next season to change lol. However in the actual save I actually play on I'll stick to 28 for the full immersion of each season (whether I like the season or not).
I've been using 2 weeks. One week seems too short since I usually play the long lifespan but I don't want to do more with rotational play. Plus I've found myself ready for the next season at 14 days.

Thank you. Bummer.

I've gone with 4 weeks and no aging for my sims
thinking this way they might have more than one birthday before they age up.
I'll see how it goes. >w< But I definitely want as much time with them and the seasons as I can get!
Something wicked this way comes!
I don't use MCCC.

Go into options, then seasons and you can change the season length there.
