I think it meant we'd get pets close to Christmas time. But hey, someone did suggest that maybe the cats and dogs title was referring to rain. I would probably laugh so hard if we actually got a Seasons/Pets combo ... what a disaster.
They better do dog sled racing if they do this. otherwise I'm saying missed opportunity.
This would be original gameplay and amazing! Great idea.
Why thank you, I don't think they will merge them but I think it would be cool
If they do merge the two I really hope they do a really good job or else there may be riots I fear
As much as I agree with some of you that mashing them together might diminish the value of either, I am so desperate to have both features that I am half-praying for it to happen. The game just really needs pets and is desolate without weather.
That's exactly my fear as well. They've already given us half-baked expansion packs focusing on only one topic, so I can't help thinking that if they're combining Pets and Seasons, all we'll get is cats and dogs and occasional rain showers. I want more than that from both expansions. But at the same time, I'm so much looking forward to weather and animals... No matter what the next EP will be (if it even is one of those two), if they don't come together, it's going to take a while until we can finally have both.
Then again, I think Seasons might also work as a GP. I remember TS2's weather expansion came with gardening and plant sims, which we already have in TS4 as it is (even though those plant sims are just another example of the aforementioned "half-bakedness"), we have Christmas and Halloween accessories, so all the pack has to focus on would be the actual weather, right?
I'm hoping it was a hint for things to come in the game. The pack might come with a world that has seasons. City Living set the precedence in allowing apartments exclusively in San Myshuno. The new game pack could have a Sims 2 city like Riverblossom Hills with snow, rain, and fall weather centered around a country theme. All the other worlds would stay the same, but in the new city we get to enjoy the four seasons.
A pack with seasons and pets would get me to buy a pre-release order at full price. I tend to listen to player reviews and wait for sales when I buy another pack. Vampires was the only one I rushed out to buy the same day it came out. Riverblossom Hills was one of my favorite cities and was different from other ones in the game. Rain and snow were in available in buckets, but sunshine was in short supply. I live in California and Oasis Springs reminds me of my local weather. I feel a new world to contrast Oasis Springs like Riverblossom Hills 2.0 would bring the game up a notch.
I remember gardening in Sims2 as being more extensive than now: variety of plants/trees, gardening equipment, greenhouses, lady bug nests, having to deal with sick plants, maybe the gardener NPC. The few gardens I have in TS4 are owner tended so don't know if gardener is an option. If we get seasons/pets better to keep them separate. Too much temptation for half-baked/messing up otherwise.

Something wicked this way comes!
I don't use MCCC.
