The one we're currently in (more or less)

Spring

Usually Spring, though I don’t start that many new games.

I do wish we had the opposite of Mt. Komorebi, a permanent summer world, where we could escape to when the cold and rain gets to us, because I've noticed that in regular worlds seasons just stay the same wherever you go, in Sulani it rains a lot during winter and in Oasis Spring it snowed but didn't settle on the ground, and sometimes you just want to play in the sunshine.

For the longest time I've been complaining that we have so many hot worlds, but no cold worlds except for a single neighbourhood in Mt. Komorebi. But now that I think about it, you're right, at least that one neighbourhood is perpetually winterish, whereas there's no eternal summer world... So, yeah, something like that would definitely be in order. Perhaps if we ever get fairies, they'll come with a world similar to Sylvan Glade, always warm and no precipitation. Right now, I can't count Sylvan Glade itself or the Magic Realm because they're not residential.

On topic: I've only started one new save since Seasons came out, and I seem to recall that I picked spring, the same first season I picked after installing the pack. Spring makes a lot of sense to me as a starting season because it's mild and unintrusive and gives me time to properly set up my sims and everything else before having to worry about the weather. Summer and winter can get extreme depending on where your sims live.

Edit: @crocobaura Something that just came to mind: If you have StrangerVille and are willing to put up with zombies roaming the streets and tendrils coming out of your bathroom appliances, you can technically have an eternal summer world by playing in StrangerVille at moderate or maxium strangeness. The weather isn't exactly sunny, but at least it's warm and you don't need to worry about rain.

Spring

Spring. For me sound logic
Seem the game take in count your selection. As I start at spring, then end if winter is end-of-year day
Maybe due it sound more logic? Father winter comes few days before end of year

It varies

I've started saves in all the seasons. It kind of depends on which world I'm going to have the new sims live in, and what I want to be able to do with them first.

Haha it would totally freak out my ocd personality to start anywhere but Spring.

Lmao this is my reasoning too

Spring

Almost always spring so it's a new year.

Spring

Since most of my sims are gardeners and growers, I naturally start in the spring so the growing season will be the longest until winter. But now I have Carl's most excellent gardening mod where all the plants grow in all seasons, so I don't have to worry about the growing season anymore. Plus, it's the farthest away from Christmas and New Year's.

Spring, but it's not saying much cause I play all my households in the same save. I did reboot once, so I have had to make that decision a total of twice..

I wish some worlds had reversed season like how it’s Winter in Australia when it’s Summer in Europe for example.

As an Australian, I agree. Christmas in winter is completely alien to me. Christmas is for the beach, lazy afternoons in the sun enjoying a food coma.

It'd be nice to be able to adjust the weather a bit (not so much with the weather machine). What I mean is having mild winters and hotter summers for latitudes closer to the equator, or maybe having just a wet season / dry season as in the tropics. Just a thought.

For me it depends on the game/story i'm playing. Most rags to riches kind of plays I start out in autumn ( harvestfest you know!)!

Similar to me with my one save. 😄

Ha, I thought I was the only one!

Thrior

It varies

Well I kinda play only one save but if I did not I know it'd vary. Especially if I was doing something specific like a challenge. In TS3 I recall doing homeless challenges which were customized so they had only winter and autumn. Sometimes perpetual winter (mwahaha!).

GalacticGal

It varies

It really depends on which save I'm starting, frankly. I tend to play my Cantrell family repeatedly, since my overall goal has yet to be reached. Sometimes, I'll start them in the summer,(with the kids out of school thanks to MCCC) to give the budding Rock Star a chance to build up fame, write music, et al. Other times I've taken them to the top of the school year, by starting in the Fall. This latest save I started in the Fall. Erik managed to write music and gain fame without having to have all day, every day in the summer weeks, which surprised me. I no longer use the 21-day seasons mod, since that was interfering with how the Starlight Accolades played. I miss it, but two weeks per season is working out okay.

Monaveil

Summer

I always start with Summer because of the plants and trees. My Sims usually start on the Hallow Slough lot because it's near a community garden, picnic tables with grills, a small park with chess tables, three fishing spots, and a variety of collectibles. The Goth family is always deleted right after my Sims get settled so I don't have to deal with a Welcome Wagon.

ModerateOsprey

Autumn

Only done it once.

Bought seasons, which I love, fired it up. Selected Autumn. Gave me Spring and Summer to look forward to and watching spring emerge from a long winter is always great, imo.

You really are bored

I had to choose this option because I am at work and I really AM bored while hoping for more info on the new GP. That said, I had forgotten you can choose the season you start with. I'd probably choose Spring or Summer, but it would really depend on what my initial plans were for the new save.

Hearts4u

You really are bored

I've been playing the same save for 5 years; typically, I will do a save as. It has taken years of gradually building and remodeling lots as well as replacing premades and townies.

Some things that have made the game enjoyable for me are:

1. Seeing full worlds with my Sims walking around.
2. Knowing that every family or Single Sim has the right build for their needs.

When I did start, it was in Spring.

Spring

99% of the time spring, unless I'm doing a challenge where I don't start with a house then I sometimes choose summer.

SweetieWright_84

Spring

I rarely start a new game because I have base saves. I tend to gravitate toward spring because it just feels more natural. Spring is the first full season of the year (for us in the north-western hemisphere) so it just makes sense for me. Plus, my sims don't freeze to death or die in from a heatstroke if I decide to keep the weather setting on.

Yautjagirl

Autumn

I usually start with autumn, because I love Halloween/Spooky day
I didn't start new game in years now, because I play my whole save rotationally, but my rotations are set for every autumn as I play my rotations for full sim year.

LatinaBunny

Spring

Usually spring time, so it’s not too hot like summer, but not too cold like winter. It’s just right.

I too gravitate to spring as first choice, but I've also found that I have a tendency to use my RL season, probably because if I'm cold and bundled up, my sims will start out that way too.

This is me as well.

Summer

I always start mine in Summer, I just like to start in a nice sunny season.
