    ...to make this even more confusing, both babies (from different households) had the trait as babies. i aged them both up to toddlers and the one that is not father winter's baby still lists lighthouse conception listed as a hidden trait. the one that is father winter's baby does not. so utterly bizarre

    this doesn't actually mean it's somehow vanished from the father winter's baby. the 'batbaby' trait from being conceived by two batform vampires is invisible, even to my mod that shows hidden traits, yet it still gives the sim free batform once they reach teen. it just makes things more difficult now... unless somehow a sim can't have both once and the game didn't realize that until he became a toddler

    @MaggieMarley the trait is listed here, though it's on another test sim. i haven't actually figured out what it does yet, and am not sure anyone has. though only a handful of people seemed to know it existed:

    trying to wind up with two sims with it (one also being father winter's baby) and see if that can help figure out what it does

    The only effect this trait has is that it gives the Sim a special happy moodlet when visiting the lighthouse.

    sure enough. normal moodlet for the lighthouse:

    lighthouse conception moodlet:
    19c5faa55cd8648d231ba72a97e754cc.png

    which makes it even odder that it apparently doesn't stack with the 'father winter's baby' reward trait (andres didn't get the second buff when he visited the lighthouse, though andrew did)

    either way, guess we can stop sidetracking this thread with non-seasons-specific stuff

    How was it that "examine water" came up as an option?

    It decides if they are left handed or right handed. Right handed is very common so it’s fun when I notice one of my sims is a lefty

    As far as I know, I've always had the "examine water" option (I didn't really start playing until a few years after release though). I think it appears after you reach a certain skill level. I never paid that close of attention. :o

    You can't skate with other people which is a huge bummer. It can't snow in Forgotten Hollow.

    My sim completed her resolution in two days. Patchy the scarecrow has their day off where he doesn't leave his perch, hence next day he attends the garden and visits my sim.

    your sim can slip in mud puddles and get dirty. First time it happened, I laughed more than I should of lol

    After walking through mud you can slip inside.

    I just saw a few days ago that when you add a holiday on the calendar yourself, there is one activity where sims could fast for 6 hours! I think its so cool that we finally have something from all religions, since we had a chanouka and christmas tree since the Sims 1 (i guess?). Also sims have headscarfs now and townies have Arabic names. I think it's fascinating! Maybe a little budha statue in a next pack? Or maybe the holy powder fest on the spice festival or social event menu? I always loved it, cause its so colourful and for sure will make stunning pics! Let's bring the harmony!

    I have completed the Trick-or-Treat tradition... by giving gifts.
    That discovery was so random. I had my sim give a gift and it counted towards the Trick-or-Treat tradition. I had my sim give another gift and the tradition was complete.
    I don't know if that thing is a feature or bug (friendly and romantic gift = treat; funny gift = trick; mean gift = trick and "treat"). Anyway, it's a great way for children to complete the tradition as they love this tradition but cannot answer the trick-or-treaters.

    i just discovered that you can actually see tons of mites falling out of the beehive if your bees are infested with them (at least in winter...)

    Mine somehow completed that tradition just by eating. Happened in two different households.

    I'm really surprised at the detail they put into designing something so small. Especially when you see the birds from the bird feeder in Backyard stuff. ;)

    I can't believe they remember their parents making them there smh

    @Garethlex if you only use the thermostat when it's either freezing or a heatwave only the bills aren't so bad and the sims don't complain
