Apologies if this has been asked already - but for builds that use arches instead of normal doors to go outside, or those that use the open windows (i.e Old Meets View window), will they act like normal doors/windows? Or because they are open, will this negatively effect people and things inside depending on the weather?
Such as if it snows - will snow get into the house and possibly ruin electronics? Or will there be such a thing as rain damage (like with fire damage)?
That's really disappointing. So does that mean there's no way to change the weather or season without the weather machine?
Yes.
There's no cheats?
The weather machine is the cheat.
It's not really a cheat if I have to put a large object on my lots to use it. What am I supposed to do for my sims that live on small lots? Or if I just don't want a weather machine on all of my lots? It will look really out of place in some of my saves, but I still want to be able to have control of the weather.

the game considers everything with 4 walls a closed room. there should be no problem as the game will consider the wall no matter what doors are placed. also while not realistic i guess there will be no snow falling into the house even if there is no roof or ceiling.
if you dont enclose a room with 4 walls and leave an opening things will probably get awkward.

I don't know what to tell you. It's Seasons, there will be weather. In options, I think you might be able to disable thunderstorms and/or blizzards, and set the seasons length, but other than that, it's Seasons, there will be weather.
@Evie0602 Maybe you could just take it out when you want to use it? Does the machine work even if it's in the basement? If so, you could build a room in a basement to store it so it's not an eye sore.

FYI, you can! Dunno why you'd want to but to each their own. So I'm hyped about these toggles.

Thank you for posting that here. I tried to copy it, but it didn't work.
I'm just worried that it will rain every single day like it did when I played the sims 3. So hopefully with the game options I can turn off rain on the days when I don't want it, and then turn it back on later.

Well it's not like it would be hard to visit a lot that has the weather machine on it.
I wouldn't trust Forbes over well-established Sims blogs.

It has been. Although In Forbes' defence, the gurus did first say 10 am pacific. Then changed it to regional midnight releases So yes, it's 100% sure, evidenced in part by the fact Australians, NZers and people like me (VPN users) are already playing!!!
Has anyone preordered via CD Keys? Because I have a code but seasons won't be available to me for the next 2 hours still. I tried redeeming the code thinking that maybe it would just wait to download until the game becomes available but it said that the code failed. So just wondering if I should be concerned or if I just have to wait.
So is it going to be pointless to put the skating rinks in parks if they're going to appear in open spaces? I was planning on converting the San Myshuno park into a skating park, but now that seems redundant.
Not during Summer because in the Summer Skating Rinks are replaced by Pools from what I've heard. Also you can make an indoor skating rink.

You probably put the code in wrong because it should have worked. Either that, or you got a bad code. After entering the code, the game should show 'unlocked' in Origin but you have to wait for the official release time to download and play.
q-q Because of the patch, the downstairs flooring of my Legacy house is purple.
Hello @SimQueenie9
Just to test to see if this helps the issue, try turning off laptop mode if you are using it and see if the flooring remains purple.

Pacific Time is 9pm & Eastern Time Is 12:00am
It's actually 9 pm pacific time In case that makes anyone happy.
*so happy she could sing*
Haha well of course! I just wanted to be extra sure, im not staying up until midnight for nothing.
Cool, thanks!
Amazon has a 10AM pacific release time tomorrow, but Origin releases at midnight eastern time.
