Yes, there will be patches. That is already confirmed
WHAT DID YOU JUST SAY?
No they won't
WHAT DID YOU JUST SAY?
You don't know that. We can just wait and see.
And nothing of value was lost.
Yes I know. They won't patch in seasons for free due to "budget" and even then...they will be horrendous Minecraft rain.
WHAT DID YOU JUST SAY?
She said weather (aka rain), not seasons.
I didn't say "seasons". I said "wether". Read "rain".
People tend to use seasons and wether on here synonymously even though they are different concepts.
Also, we got little to nothing patched in content this year. All that budget should have went into something.
It's still hardware-heavy. If they were to patch weather in, it would have to be pretty lousy weather to run at base game minimum specs. I know people got excited because of some puns in patch notes, but they're not, with how they've been doing things lately, going to patch in weather that's that low quality. And they aren't going to patch in anything that requires new base game minimum specs.
It only just went into the next stage of development a couple of weeks ago.
EA give weather for free.... hahahahahahahahaha. Yeah, we know that won't happen. You can dream, but be prepared to be disappointed. Why would they give us any weather for free? That's so not gonna happen.
Could say same reason they gave us toddlers for free so they could expand on it in another pack that we will actually buy because we have part of it and need more to make it work out well.
They usually stick in a mention of an update for the Holiday freepack, but maybe they're still firming up details of what will be included? Feeling a bit underwhelmed especially for those folks who can't play Cats & Dogs because they can't meet the specs, but hopefully we'll get some substantial patches that fix a lot of the current game issues to make up for the lack of paid content.

Plus, if weather is going to require similar specs as Cats & Dogs, patching in weather could end up degrading performance for players who are playing on older systems; I can't see Maxis doing that.

We had parenthood at the end of May. Fitness stuff in June and Toddler stuff in August.
I would love more EPs and less stuff packs but I hardly think the past six months have been slow content wise.
On a general topic, I think people may have jumped the gun with regards to weather. I don't see EA patching it in for free.
We'll likely have the Community SP early next year -- maybe January or February.

August had a stuff pack.
