    Yeah, this is a bit concerning. First no snow depth, then no sun burn/ tanning, now no hail? What they ARE putting in the game better make up for this.

    That's what I'm wondering. They keep saying what there isn't and saying it's so they could work on other stuff. What were they working on though?
    Santa's outfit?
    Flowers?
    A calendar?

    I don't see where the best seasons yet is.

    A scarecrow and bunny NPC? They can't say flower arranging because we've had that before. And I don't figure their calendar will work as it is supposed to because they can't even fix calls for dinners or dates! Or mealtimes and tablesettings!

    They didn't even bring a new world. There's nothing in this worth an expansion price tag.

    It's official guys and gals; No hail included either.

    But hey, it's going to be the best and most realistic Seasons EP ever, right? ...



    Oh for crying out loud!

    Why not just call the game The sims 4 Weather lite.

    No hail, no snow depth, no sun tan/burn, no seasonal allergies. But we have fog that will most likely be fx and the sims won't see it /care so hip, hip Hooray!

    Nope. Just FX. They sure don't care about each other so it would be REALLY REALLY bad if they all of a sudden cared about the fog or rain more.

    Good point.

    I truely don't understand how they can say this is the most intricate and detailed seasons yet. Have they forgotten sims 2?

    That's what I keep saying too. Sims 3 we were told they didn't make a new world and we got a lot of awesome stuff. The alien spaceship alone is soo much fun. But now we don't get a new world, no proper snow, blizzards with flat snow. No hail, no sun tan and the list seems to be growing daily.

    I'm really curious what used all the development hours?

    Hail is terrible IRL. Why would I want to subject my Sims to that? I don't mind if there's no hail at all. Snow and rain is good enough for me.

    Consequences and realism. And there are many players who like more deviant play.

    It's a seasons expansion, there are many elements of seasons that aren't pleasant to experience. Storms aren't always pleasant but they are in game (I think)

    Because it's funny when it hits them. And I like less happy stuff for realism

    Oh! I have a calendar in my room. I bought it from a village in central Italy. That little village was actually the home of one of the most important Christian saints of all time. So her face shows up on every page of it. It's also written in Italian so I don't understand anything, but it's still nice to have. I like to stare at it sometimes. I think that's pretty exciting. The new calendars sound nice!

    I'm sure you'll find the game calendar even better. You can mark when to visit your brother. It's the ultimate gameplay.

    As I implied before, this addresses one of my chief concerns about the pack. The frequency and lethality of hail during the summer months was a nuisance to me. First, I know of no place on Earth that receives 50% of it's summer month precipitation in the form of hail. Secondly, the hail rains death upon sims, making outdoor plans during the summer a risky endeavor. I wanted to see either the probability of hail drastically reduced or eliminated entirely. They went with total elimination. Fine by me.

    This pack is giving me a lot of what I am wanting. Things are looking up.

    It hailed with great frequency in The Sims 2, and even more so in The Sims 3. I am pleased to see it go.

    I would have rather they made it less frequent than completely gotten rid of it. Or maybe allowed us to toggle it on or off.

    I'm pleased not to have to deal with the possibility of death storms raining down this time. Of course, they could always drastically increase the probablility of lightning strikes to compensate which would leave things in a de facto sameness. Perhaps I celebrate too early.

    That's funny you would say this, but in my Sim games I seriously never encountered a natural death... Not by hailing, not by satellite or meteor hitting, not by electric shock etc. It seems like in my Sims games the death rate is way too low... I actually have to always download mods that higher the chances for everything... Including abductions...

    Thank goodness. I detest when they put hail in the Sims. I keep it shut off in sims 3. In real life I see animals and small kids get hurt - including two of my own kids and our puppy once - with hail and just refuse to have it in the games I play. Not always do you get warning for hail in real life, so your little kids (mine were 3 and 4 years old and our puppy was just 3 months old) are out playing in their back yard and suddenly start getting stoned by hail. Left my kids and puppy scared to death of the back yard for the longest time.

    In sims 4 where toggles don't work I was hoping there would be no hail in this game seeing we couldn't shut it off like Sims 3 had it. So I'm thrilled if it isn't in the game. If it is my sims kids and pets are never going off their porches.

    Lightening I actually have no issues with seeing thunder warns people to get inside well before lightening usually strikes. So I actually like thunder and lightening - it's just hail I despise.

    Interesting. I had random deaths out the wazoo. And don't even get me started on the abductions. If my sim even looked at a space rock in Sims 3 those aliens were going to start coming every. single. night. I didn't even mouse over them for fear of the little green men.
