- snowfall looks too bright? Like it's still sunny every day? Raining seems to be fine, chilling, dark and gloomy
- almost everything already was in previous games? I mean animations - ice skating animation is slow for some reason?
- not so much clothes and hair styles? Things are probably saved for another SP
- so no new town and swimming in sea, okay I am totally fine with that
Sorry for my English, I am so happy right now so please forgive me
I'm pretty sure it's just editing, to get 'more magestic' effect
what does it mean CREATE YOUR OWN HOLIDAYS? how?
and what's the deal with the lightning-man in the end? he as super powers? WHATS GOING ON I NEED MORE INFO PRONTO
My guess is it'll work similar to the club system from GT:
Pick date (E.G. 4th day of Winter)
Pick traditional must-dos (Decorate Tree, Give Gifts)
Pick extra suggested activities (Ice skate, Build a snowman)
Pick a location (Home)
Name it and write a short description (Similar to clubs)
Holiday gets added to a calendar or something (maybe a seasonal UI similar to the club one)
You get a reminder the day before and an annoucement/greeting on the day (Happy Winterfest! Don't forget to give those gifts you spent no time wrapping!)
Enjoy the holiday!
I might actually get around to making those fake religions and secular groups now that I can make custom holidays for each one!
I wonder if we'll have seasonal gardening/plants again. Also, I'm so happy there are more outdoor activities for kids, that pirate ship was so big and bulky. Seasons looks amazing and I'm glad they weren't split up or world-based. So far so good. ^^
Yay so excited!!! I love that they added roller skating too I can build a cool rec center for teens with bowling, skating and video games!! Love that their is more for gardening too, this is gonna make having a sim rough it outdoors even more fun. I seriously can’t wait for this one.

Huh. This could actually be really versatile. If we can pick a date and time this would outshine our current party system. I'd love to plan a date and time for birthdays for example and have everyone in the special group (invitees) show up bearing gifts. (The same could be done manually of course but some automation would be really nice.)
I have to say, I'm impressed. So far the only negative thing that people are able to point out is "Snow not 3D!". Looks like this expansion is being received much better than any of the others!
Hopefully there won't be any random limitations and it may actually be a good EP.
It looked like they were having a New Year's Party.
I remember them being a thing in Sims 2 also. Father Time NPC would appear and change into Toddler New Year while everyone did celebrating animations and made noise.
I also notice that once again all swimsuits are mom-swimsuits from the 1950s. There is not a single sexy bikini or swimsuit in the game (for women. Men get a banana hammock for some reason).

I am not saying that there won't be any negative aspects about this EP. I just don't think it's worth speculating and getting excited over possible negative aspects using the first trailer as the basis. And yet it is done every time. It just seems there is less of that with this expansion.
"Gardening Career: Begin a blossoming gardening career and become a botanist or floral arranger"
Yaaaay
On that note, don't these things sound awesome:
"Grow your gardening career. Create beautiful bouquets and unearth new discoveries in the gardening career. With a newfound green thumb as a floral designer, Sims craft flower arrangements and make deliveries around town. More scientific Sims can become a botanist, where they’ll analyze plants, write scientific papers and gain notoriety to earn grants. Advance your Sim’s budding talents to unlock fresh skills, new outfits and handy objects"

But why is the snow so flat? Am I the only one who thinks that it looks like that snow mod?
Do you have ANY idea how much actual 3D snow would tax your system?
Sims 2 snow had depth.
Dude, Sims 2 had snow period. Start pausing the trailer in Winter and look at any object you can find outdoors. None of the furniture items have snow buildup on them. The only exception is a wooden reindeer which might just be a reskin of that object.
The "snow" in this game appears to be a reskin for the grass and the surfaces of traditional buildmode objects.
Not true, you can clearly see on the light on the right that the snow is building up as there isn't as much snow as the left lights.
Same goes for the picnic tables, the snow is light and is obviously building up.

I can understand why people who have been disappointed with former EPs can get skeptical and stop themselves from being too excited cause they expect to be let down, as sad as it is...
I'm usually one of said people but for some reason I'm pretty optimistic about this pack this time around, I surprise myself...

Yeah, both career branches sound very Ambitions profession style.

Coincidence? NO.

In all the years I played Sims 2, I never saw that. Do you have to be playing on December 31 at midnight for it to happen?
