That makes me wonder though... Will lifespans change to accommodate this? Because I'm guessing that Sims' birthdays will not be every year, and the current length of each stage is not going to change either.
Storm chaser reward seems to guarantee sims not-dying after the lightning strike, also this might be the reason of lightning-"magic" ability shown in the first trailer.
Excited to play with scarecrow. Can he become "a real boy"?

The word year being in quotes makes me think he means that you as the player will be able to create a sense of a year passing by observing the holiday milestones on your calendar along with the seasons changing. Because when you look at the calendar they didn't assign months giving room for you to interpret that part according to your own storyline. I'm guessing the calendar repeats maybe, unless you change it. So if you had say a sim born 3days before "flower bunny day" you could add it to the calendar and perhaps always celebrate their birthday at that time, giving some sense of continuity to the feeling of time passing and your Sims moving through the "years". This is just my guess based on what we've heard about the calendar so far and Grant's statement above.

SimGuruEmory just posted a full look at the calendar.
You know, I never thought a calendar would be so interesting and it really wasn't one of the features I was interested in, but after reading more information about it over the last couple of days I can see how useful and fun the Sims calendar will be. Looks great!

I'm happy that it looks like we can book events a full year out in advance. This is going to be awesome for my weddings. Also I want to know what holiday has free food and drinks, haha. That is one holiday my sims will be enjoying every year.
Excited to play wit scarecrow. Can he become "a real boy"?
The scarecrow does remind me of the imaginary friends from TS3. I kinda hope he can't turn into a regular sim tho. I'd prefer if he can join the family as he is.

I think I've worked it out. Look at the far left edge of the calendar - there could be a scroll bar there - there's space for one. The calendar features one week per line, starting on Sunday, so each line goes from Sunday to the following Saturday, right?
Also the default is 7 days per season as is shown here - look at the holidays and which lines they're on; the top line is winter, the 2nd line down is spring, 3rd line down summer and the bottom line is autumn.
Let's say I changed season length to make each one 14 days long instead of seven - the calendar would look much like it does, but because each season would last 2 weeks, 2 lines of the calendar would be dedicated to each season (so the 1st & 2nd lines would be winter, the 3rd and 4th would be spring etc) - all you'd have to do is scroll down to see the rest of the calendar.

As far as the skating rinks, if i place one on a lot ive built, will it automatically change from roller rink to ice rink or are the roller/ice versions seperate build items that i would have to change manually?

That's something we still don't know. I hope it does that outdoors at least!

I'm curious as to Grant saying most worlds have a place where ice rinks appear - if your whole world if full up with lot types like residential, spas, restaurants, without leaving any empty lots, then it's not going to appear on a lot in that world is it? Maybe it'll appear in public space surrounding lots, but that seems a bit weird.
I kinda hope he can't turn into a regular sim tho. I'd prefer if he can join the family as he is.
In TS3 it was up to player choice if imaginary friends turn to "normal' sims. In TS4 we should have the same with scarecrow, though I hope his "normal sim" version won't look completely normal
