    I am having problems with Sims 4 Seasons when I log into my game. I have been trying to change the season but when I log out, and back into the game it is stuck in winter and it does not allow me to change the season in the beginning of the game. It goes straight to the worlds and never show me the different to change the game season. After this last patch it has been lagging and exception errors occur when I log into the game. I took out all cc items and still have problems. Please help!! I have had the game a week and cannot get my sims to react with each other. I even had one sim die after telling the sim to go inside but it never would move. I love winter but my game is stuck in winter....I would like to change after 7 days in winter to spring.

    > Hi, having fun with Seasons, but just a suggestion, sorry if it's already been asked, but could there be a way to toggle weather between the worlds? Like in the Seasons Game Options add a button to make weather same or different in each worlds? It's just a bummer when I send my family off to the water park I built in Brindleton Bay and it's raining, even tho their house in Willow Creek is hot/sunny. Thank you!

    That would be SUCH a good feature! I play on console so I've no idea if this already exists - but it would be cool if you could see the day's weather forecast for wherever you wanted to travel with your sims. So, if your sims are getting fed up of the cold you could send them somewhere warm for the day, or go somewhere snowy in the middle of winter.

    Hi! I'd just like to address few issues I encountered after installing Sims 4 Seasons... and probably also some which are occuring for longer period of time but I didn't really see any improvements here.

    Regarding Seasons:
    - working Sims returned from work when I traveled with the rest of family
    - Sims sometimes seem to "teleport" while walking up/down the stairs (as in they teleport from one stair to another)
    - Sims got stuck after they tried to get to the bed trough a wall (instead of using stairs and doors as any normal Sim would)
    - water-balloon/mud/snow dodgeball takes forever to start
    - animation "play in the mud" seems broken as the Sim jump once and then just stands there
    - Sim repeatedly gets to know the same people in school
    - the game itself moved in the world a family which was already moved in there by me
    - Sims aren't willing to undress theit coats (for cold weather) automatically - why am I paying the bills then?
    - at the flower arranging career it doesn't really seem to matter how hard the Sim is working, I always get the same money
    - the bills somehow escalated really quickly - going from normal 2 000 to unbelievable 12 000 in one week (or whatever the time between payments is)

    Older problems:
    - toddlers tend to demand being freed from their high chair immediately after they are placed in there, even though they are starving
    - toddler teleport from their beds and high chair when I enter the build mode (and then of course demand to be placed back)
    - in czech version there are blackberries growing on blueberry shrubs
    - in czech version there are swapped boys' and girls' info-tabs regarding improvement in mental skills

    I know it's a long list but I would be glad if it finds its way to whoever is able to fix that. I don't really know where to post it (when the answers.ea.com doesn't even allow me to pick the language of my game). Thanks a lot for reading and even more for potential spreading! :)

    Hello @AmileeLeia
    Try having your sim travel to another lot, then back home again and see if that may restore him.
    Come out of the game, then go back in again and see if that restores him.
    You may though need to buy a new Patchy and build up the relationship again :(

    I repaired my game as suggested but it keeps saying I need to download seasons even though I already did? And when I try to play it warns against playing the game while a download is in progress, but I have access to everything from seasons

    Hello @Mistletoe259
    Try logging out of Origin, then shut down your computer completely. Restart the computer, log into Origin, then launch the game and see if the issue mesage is still there.

    Hello @vermin00
    Try putting up garlic outside your home and it may make them leave when they arrive, and not keep returning each night.

    Try also removing the localthumbcache.package file from the Sims 4 folder and see if that helps

    Hi everyone!

    My question is about basements and what you see, if you're looking upside with the free camera.

    When basements were introduced, it was possible to see what was on the levels above. Now there is only black emtiness.
    I'm running the game on ultra settings, so there is no possibility to change this via ingame menu. It's all maxed out.

    Is there a tweak for the ini files to bring back the view or is it gone forever?


    Thanks in advance.

    I have an issue with that problem...no new traits. This game is a good one but there are a lot of things that should have been worked out before the launch of the game. I have worlds that have seasons and some without the new season. I have problems with my wallpaper when I install them and again, I have problems when the sim needs to use an umbrella. One thing I notice is that the sims run around when they should be skating. I don't mean to complain but theses are small things that should have been worked out by adding a totally different world to play this expansion pack. This is the largest expansion pack since 2014 and with so much new things added to the game and everyone online playing the same game at the same time this will allow for crashing and exception errors.

    Hello @Greebo8e
    You need to own the Seasons pack to have the seasonal themed rewards traits,
    If there isn’t the option to buy the reward traits in the reward store, and if you have cc/mods in your game, move your whole mods folder to the desktop. Remove the localthumbcache.package file from the Sims 4 folder.
    Then start the game and test to see if the rewards traits are there. If it does help, then put your mods/CC back into the newly generated mods folder in the sims 4 folder one by one or in batches and testing the game after each one to see which is the cause of the problem.

    If the issues still remain, repairing the game may help. To do that, go to games library in Origin, right click on the sims 4 picture and click repair
