Alright why is nobody talking about this quote?!?
"Toss ona raincoat to splash in a spring shower and explore the outdoors to earn badges as a scout."tiy
So I guess there's some sort of boy scout-ish activities that your sims can perform and earn badges for! (i'm sure female sims are included as well, just used the term "boy scout" since for some reason irl they're the only scouts that do outdoors-y stuff)
That sounds like it has a lot of potential for interesting opportunities. JUNE 22ND IS TOO FAR AWAY LIKE HOW CAN I PLAY KNOWING THAT I'M MISSING SEASONS?!?1?!
Excuse me - but There always was Girl Scouts and Campfire Girls - as well as Boy Scouts you know. I was in both. We did a lot more than just sell cookies. LOL.
That said - Seasons looks amazing. Sprinklers YESSSSSSS! Swings - YES, YES!!!!
I don't know why but those two things are making me beyond happy. Then I see - gift giving, roller skating - ICE skating. I'm swooning here..... Can't look any more.... OMG - kiddie pools...... ,,,,,,,........ FAINTs!!!!
Boy Scouts in the US are now allowing girls as well on a limited basis. But yes, I was a Brownie for 2 years and Girl Scout for 3, and we had our badges too including lots of outdoor activities. Maybe the badges are a collection solely for children? That would be really cool. A lot of people were upset that you couldn't send clubs to Granite Falls -- maybe they were able to patch in a fix for that?
YEP - I know - they also changed Camp Fire Girls and allow Boys in there - so they now call that Camp Fire kids.
I was also a Brownie and a Girl scout - up until I got my first job at 14 and no longer had time for scouting. I got to re-enjoy scouting through my three sons - all were scouts. I volunteered when I could as a Den Mother. So it will be fun to see at least a bit of scouting in the Sims. I can't imagine it will go into much depth - but just having it for kids will be fun. I may finally break down and have a club in my game for scouting anyway. I am not the club type of player and have never used them - so yeah - I may if scouting is a club activity.

OMG yes !! i was a Brownie and Girl Guide myself, we were always going away on nature weekends,it would be amazing to be able to re-enact in the sims
I will take that L now. Also, does anyone have a clue what the end was about? That Sim just redirected the lightning!
I'm thinking that it's either a new purchasable trait or maybe an Aspiration Reward trait to be immune to lightning, the way the Gardening Aspiration makes one immune to fire. Still need to get a Sim that reward then send him/her to Selvadorada and see if it works on the fire traps in the ruins. ev
I was hoping for a June 12th release, right after EA Play, but maybe this leaves them time to fix any major bugs that get discovered during the event. So we might not get the pre-pack patch till maybe the 14th? Or maybe the 20th (Tuesday) for a Friday release.

Looks like a lot of features we have in The Sims 3. What is actually new? I noticed the scarecrow.
Toddler and kid pools, botanist career, making custom holidays, scouting, magical scarecrow, and I'm not sure what they refer to as "seasonal crafting".

There are actually so many new things that sims 3 doesnt have. Not only that but as someone who will never play sims 3 again , I dont really care about what sims 3 has
But why is the snow so flat? Am I the only one who thinks that it looks like that snow mod?
Do you have ANY idea how much actual 3D snow would tax your system?
Sims 2 snow had depth.
Dude, Sims 2 had snow period. Start pausing the trailer in Winter and look at any object you can find outdoors. None of the furniture items have snow buildup on them. The only exception is a wooden reindeer which might just be a reskin of that object.
The "snow" in this game appears to be a reskin for the grass and the surfaces of traditional buildmode objects.
I don't know if anyone has mentioned this, I didn't see it, but SimGuruGrant said on Twitter that the glass roofs shown on the greenhouse will be part of a free update. I assume that will come in the June patch. Thank you, that makes me very happy!

I see where you're coming from, but then again, TS3 Seasons has a lot of features we had in TS2 Seasons. I guess there are just certain things expected to be in that theme. Flower arranging made a comeback from TS2 times. I believe that a pool for toddlers is totally new, and maybe interaction to decorate the Christmas tree (I guess it was always pre-decorated before?). There are new outfits such as the giant gnome and Easter bunny - maybe new NPCs? Oh, and the blog says we'll be able to create own holidays.

Sims 3 one did too btw.
I meant like "even Sims 2" haha but thanks for adding to that! I'm disappointed if the snow in Sims 4 doesn't get any more snow than simple terrain paint.

this is so great! and finally some good news since JA
good things
- finally winter, snow and rain; gloomy and cold days yay! Immersion +_+
- autumn trees are actually red - nice;
- ice skating and costumes - this is so cool and I honestly didn't expect that to be included in EP;
- sims can finally clear snow with shovel - yes!
- machine to manipulate weather - YES!!
- nice coat on sim with white beard - he looks like Ded Moroz in this outfit
- at the end sim shooting lightning with his hands - if only this "ability" can stick like trait
- dark green icon - i like it
and I am glad this is an EP and not GP which means GP team can be busy with something supernatural (only my opinion)
and less positive
- snowfall looks too bright? Like it's still sunny every day? Raining seems to be fine, chilling, dark and gloomy
- almost everything already was in previous games? I mean animations
- ice skating animation is slow for some reason?
- not so much clothes and hair styles? Things are probably saved for another SP
- so no new town and swimming in sea, okay I am totally fine with that
Sorry for my English, I am so happy right now so please forgive me
I have to say, I'm impressed. So far the only negative thing that people are able to point out is "Snow not 3D!". Looks like this expansion is being received much better than any of the others!

Yeah
It was simulated (no pun intended). Also, Sims 2 was a far more simplistic rendering engine to begin with.
