What questions do you have about The Sims 4: Seasons?
My questions:
1. Are there any beach activities such as swimming in the ocean, sunbathing, building sandcastles?
No beaches. (SOURCE)
2. Can sims get tanned/sunburnt? Is there sunscreen?
No tans or sunburns, which probably means no sunscreen either. (SOURCE)
3. Are diving boards and/or pool slides returning?
4. Is there a chance of power outages happening when there is a storm?
5. Are there ceiling fans, table fans, air conditioning, heaters, etc.?
Apparently no ceiling or table fans. (SOURCE)
6. Is the seasonal lot marker from TS3 returning or something similar in Build Mode?
7. Are those glass greenhouse roofs from the trailer just objects or is that a new roof type/texture?
Confirmed to be a new Build Mode addition coming with the patch. (SOURCE)
8. Since there are kiddy pools, will toddlers now have a swimwear category in CAS?
Yes. (SOURCE)
9. Is Outerwear a new category in CAS like in previous games?
Yes, there's a new category for winter wear but there are also other new categories. (SOURCE)
10. Are swings expandable like in previous games (as in if you place multiple ones side-by-side they connect)?
11. Are soccer nets returning?
No. (SOURCE)
12. How many holidays can we create at maximum? Which are the premade holidays?
13. Can we change in what season the holiday happens (e.g. make Christmas happen in the summertime, like in the southern hemisphere)?
Confirmed that you can create your own holidays and set the season in which season they happen. (SOURCE)
14. Are there new illnesses?
15. Can seasons be customized per world like in previous games (e.g. make it always summer in Oasis Springs) and can we change the duration of each of them separately? Can we also enable/disable specific weather as well (e.g. have winter enabled but disable snow)?
You can pick a starting season, but the cycle is always the same, but you can use the weather controller object to change that. You can also change season length in options, but it's not clear yet if it is separate for each season or if this option applies to all seasons. (SOURCE 1) (SOURCE 2)
16. Are there any new pet interactions if Cats & Dogs is installed, such as pets playing in the snow? Is there any pet outerwear?
Pets are affected by weather and will react to rain/snow. It's still unknown if they have outerwear. (SOURCE 1) (SOURCE 2) (SOURCE 3)
17. Are igloos and penguins returning?
Penguins are not. Igloos are still unknown. (SOURCE)

Are there new pool objects?
Was there a celebration for the new year and if so would that mean that the calendar system is coming?
Will there be festivals like in the third?
Will vamps get more effected by sun in summer and will the cold bother them?
Are there new romantic interactions?
A world?
Swimmable sea? (Even though it's unlikely in my opinion)
How many skills/aspirations are there?
Will us be able to customize the outfits depending on the seasons?
Looking for some custom animations? Check out my youtube channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCKrWaxowK2vCzwkz6bEZRbg

I hope so because that was fun and I hope we send kids to go trick or treating even if it is a rabbit hole I'll be happy.
Can we choose weather and temp settings or is it just based on the season?
Is there a summer vacation and/or Can we set vacation days with our holidays?
Is the skating a skill and is there skating actions the player can choose or is more like ts3 where your sims just interact with the rink?
Ice dance? Hockey? Curling? Winter sports in general?
Yeah, I believe no new world has been confirmed on Twitter by SGKate.
My own speculations

The Sims 4 General DiscussionWill PlantSims fulfill their 'Water' need when standing outside in the rain?
Will PlantSims use an umbrella when outside? (I hope not!)
Do we get any new harvestables in this Expansion?
That is a great question I hope so and more foods and drinks ex. Hot chocolate for cold days and slushies for hot days.
It says weather is controllable, but that could refer to the weather machine. The "every world is affected by seasons in unique ways" makes me think weather is not customizable, but I hope I'm wrong.
"Now you can add and control weather events, revel in fun seasonal activities and celebrate the holidays in style with The Sims 4 Seasons."
You can add and control weather events but they will probably be experienced by sims in different ways in different neighborhoods. Sweltering heat in oasis springs could translate to normal temp summers in willow creek. Like the intensity is what I am getting at I guess
I hadn't thought about that... I hope you're right.
will there be a new world
I really hope there will be.
Tumblr (WIP)
No new world has been confirmed by SimGuruKate on twitter.
If I build my house without a roof (which I am prone to do at times) will rain come in and soak the furniture?
Will there be functional fans/ air conditioning for summer?
Will the fireplace provide central heating for homes?
Will there be sun tans/frostbite?
Will there be spring break/summer vacation/public holidays where adults get the day off too? (Lol - not only children need love)
Will there be hail/sleet/blizzards?
Will school/work be shut down if weather is particularly bad?
Will storms/heavy rainfall be available in any season or only a particular one?
Will gift giving be an actual thing? (I actually loved how Sims 3 Generations children got gift when they were born from a random relative)
Will mistletoes be able to be hung up?
What will happen when it rains at an outdoor restaurant? Will sims run away and seek shelter?
Will the bonfire be put out in a downpour?
Will a sim's house on fire that is exposed to the elements be put out by rainfall?
Can teen/adults use the swing as well?
Can sims at least catch colds and allergies?
Will townie sims know how to dress for the appropriate weather?
Edit: Will children be able to rake leaves/shovel snow as chores as well or will only clubs see new addition to existing content?
Will owning Spooky Day unlock trick or treating maybe?
Are the picnic baskets functional and will selling lemonade in the summer be a feature?
I hope so too! Lol
