Are we able to change seasons at will rather than the game do it for us?
There isn't any info on that yet.
I thought I saw a tweet that you could set whatever season you wanted. And SimGuruGrant just tweeted that the default season is 7 days which infers you can also set the length of a season.

As a rotational player this is the only thing I'm really worried about seasons. I would like to be able to play first one season with ALL my families and then move on to the next one. I'm worried if we can't set seasons ourselves, some of my families will never experience all the seasons.
But I'm still so excited! Can't wait for new info and actually playing the game!
Wanted to jump in on this and enjoy the countdown with all of you!
I'm so excited for this. So excited, that I completely forgot I have a music festival to go to on the 23rd, and will be staying overnight. On the one hand, yay music festival! On the other, I won't be able to make myself a hermit, close the curtains, stock up on easy to prepare food and play non-stop Sims like I originally envisioned.
Oh well. I haven't completely ruled out finding a nice quiet tent to zip myself up in and hide for a bit. Thank god my laptop has an amazing battery life. Mwahahaha.

I'm concerned about this too. Right now I'm thinking that the longest we'll be able to have a season last is 28 days. That's still not long enough for me as I'm playing 11 households. But I think all my households will be able to experience all 4 seasons, just not at the "same" time.
Forgot to say: I'm really excited about getting seasons, too!

Maybe the default season length is when you have the default age length chosen and changes for other age lengths? It's a possibility that hasn't been ruled out by anything they've said yet. (Not one I'd count on, mind you.)

Appreciate this thread. Awesome to share excitement with others looking forward to the game.
This! It's nice to see so many people excited for seasons, none of my friends or family play the game so it's so nice to read especially this thread. Thank you @catloverplayer for always making these countdown threads!

I think it will be possible, as you can change the season with the weather machine. So even if you can't set it exactly to cover all of your families, then you can intervene with the object. Probably annoying but possible.
I want everything that was in that trailer! I can’t wait for the ice skating, the floral stuff, the fun activities, the CAS, and so on....
Oh yes skating. I've been waiting for this for the longest. I even requested a skating stuffpack but glad to be seeing skating in Seasons. I enjoy skating in all the sim iterations.
I'm really just excited to have a game that's truly playable again. I LOVED what they did with Seasons in Sims 3 but that game was just so laggy for me. None of the computers I've had were quite good enough to run it all with no issues and that always made me so sad - even the one I have now, while it runs it better than the last couple, still doesn't run it as smoothly as I'd like it to despite exceeding the minimum requirements by quite a bit I'm excited to see what 4 has to offer and the confidence that it's going to run smoothly makes it even more exciting - the wait is going to be tough!!

Wooooo!!! I'm so freaking excited. There was something that Vlad said that caught my eye in the new blog. He wanted to know if the girl only ate organic food...did that jump out to anyone else or just me? I'm thinking since we're getting the gardening career maybe organic food could be a thing now? But I could just be looking into it too much. Either way...I'm super excited.
Ok Now its June YAY lol For anyone that has forgotten about EA Play haha it almost here, then SEASONS. June is very exciting for simmers.
Celebrating June is here!
we'll give you a full refund. Just make sure you make your request within 24 hours after you first launch the game, within seven days from your date of purchase, or within seven days from the game's release date if you pre-ordered, whichever comes first.

after the last few new packs being so underwhelming and limited for me. don't want to get excited only to be underwhelmed again!

...ahem.
You can choose the first season when you load your game.
Also, you can change the season using the weather machine object. If you want a constant winter, you can use the weather machine to achieve that.

I feel your pain
i know 21 days is 3 weeks but i like
21 days better because it seems like less time. i'm excited for swings and my excitement about the actual seasons grows everyday.
