This is for the folks who actually play, have played, or intend on playing the Scenarios.
Let's see if we can get a better picture of the Sims 4 community's feelings about limited-time scenarios.
Do you like scenarios being available for a limited time only or do you prefer them to be available all the time once they've been released?

Beige. Meh. I don't know. Maybe, but. Other unecessarily complicated answer to a simple question. ;)

As for them being limited time, I'm not a fan of anything with a time limit. That being said, I understand if they were all still available that would (or could) become a performance problem in the future. Of course, I'm not too tech savvy so I really don't know if that's even a issue, just an assumption.
I'm def up for weirder or occult scenarios.
Yeah, her. Who is she? lol
I guess I can't vote "officially" because I don't know if I intend to play them at some point. If they ever come up with something that grabs my interest, I might give it a go, but so far that hasn't happened. However, I despise time-limited events in single player games (and most other kinds of games, for that matter), so that would be a no for me on these, too.
Because I can't; I keep all sigs turned off.
She's some Sim in Sims 3. It's REALLY creepy that Colton seems to be obsessed with her....
I get you. I agree.
So .... I think I don't like limited time availability for them, but can't say for sure because I've never actually experienced it.

This one has been pretty entertaining so far. I sent my Sim so actually start making money, but she ended up getting with Clement Frost, they for married, and have a daughter now. I am now a bit less than halfway with it.
All the scenarios don't really appeal to me, except the money one, and so far it has not gone exactly how I planned it, but the results at the moment are hilarious.
So I don't love them but I don't dislike them. Justine was my second choice.

These scenarios are so basic that one could ask what's even the point? IMO they should be bolder and "weirder" with them, use them as a way to introduce interesting ways to play the game.
Whenever I've had Clement Frost in my game as an active sim my game was a lot of fun too. He's a great sim to play. I think Baako took over for Clement when he married my sim and had to leave the Father Winter gig.
This is what I was thinking as well. I know we all hate them limited but a lot if players already complain of lag. And everyone is working with a different gaming system. If it will turn into a performance issue I would rather they remain time limited.
Consider the gallery, there are tens of thousands of households, sims and lots available to you with the click of a button while you are playing. if something as minor as a few scenario options at the main game menu would lead to performance problems then that gallery should cause your computers to explode.

and makes it so everyone can't play with whatever is time limited

But this creation of artificial digital scarcity that seems to be the new way of squeezing more pennies out of people who play games really, really makes me angry. NFTs next - I confidently predict they are riding to our game soon.
Time sensitivity makes sense with a live event involving human beings - turning access on and off to some digital assets in a single player game is not a live event.

It’s a definite no from me. My play times vary depending on my work and availability and mood. I want to come to the game after a month or two of not playing at all and still have the opportunity to enjoy the new stuff.
The @simgirl1010 ’s workaround is a good quick fix, but doesn’t work for me, as I would need to keep up with the sims news and then open the game to start a scenario, just so that I can play with it later, even through I can’t or don’t want to play at that moment. It’s a hustle. I wish they would just make them all available without the restriction.
However, it’s possible they are just testing that feature still and that’s why they do the limit, to get an idea in what players want from Scenarios. We’ll see.
So far the only one I missed was the Holiday one, I didn’t open the game within the timeframe. The others I either finished or have them started and waiting for me to rotate to them eventually.
So what if I want my sims to have their versions of Christmas, Valentine's Day, Whatever on some random Tues afternoon in April.

Recent one is one that I can very quickly do over gameplay so it didn't quite interest me but hey.
