    in The Sims 3 General Discussion
    Okay Im not relly a sims complainer but I just thought about something... how in the world can we have Paris without any rain. I have never been there but isn't that one of the great things about it?
    That kind of cloudy, sunny, rainy weather ?
    And of course for Egypt we need some hot sweaty temperatures
    come on EA team please.
    How in the world can they do these locations without weather ?

    I am going to have to believe that there is an element of seasons mixed up in this new EP. They did say that it was going to be The most "Robust Sims EP yet" maybe they will be smart enough to add seasons in it...
    Please be smart enough to know we need seasons in this game :!:

    Bump me if you agree

      Here in England it is very rainy. Even the North of France is sunnier! It's always been decent weather when I've crossed the channel too...

      But yes, we do need lots of heat and sun in Egypt. I've been there, its hot, hot, hot!

      I would love to have some weather in TS3! But realistically, if you don't have a fast computer the weather effects are another layer of constant rendering, textures, shadows, etc. As it is, if your sim stands next to a pool they get furry on the edges...

      So maybe give the team a bit more time and perhaps we might see at least a temp. gauge so sims can get burnt (and what happened to getting the flu/colds?)

      When I first heard about it being a vacation pack I hoped maybe they'd through in weather because it does fit the theme. I also hoped they'd add a way to go to a night club or a restaurant. Of all the eps this was the one I wanted least.

      Yes, I would love to have hot weather in Egypt and well any type of weather in the sims3 would be great. You can moodlets to tell your sims, that you're hot, like the temperature gauge :) that they had in sims2, to put that in the sims3, would tell if your sims is boiling hot in egypt, or when you're in france-freezing cold and wet from rain, though I've never been to either countries, so I haven't experienced the weather, so I don't know, but it'll be fantastic to have WEATHER!:)

      Well I am betting some sort or part of seasons will be in it. But I can wait, if thats a necessity. I am just looking forward to what a sim might be able to do in this expansion, rather than ripping it apart.

      Someone posted in the general section about seasons and Sims 3. I for one wanted seasons but then I read that and it did make sense. He said that seasons required a little bit different requirements then most of the other EP's in Sims2 so he said what happens when we want it in Sims 3. Would EA have to raise the requirements and if that was so what happens to those people who are barely at the level to play Sims 3 without lag and issues? I for one as ok with my computer but it does make you think.

      that makes sense. I'm still getting a desktop or really having my husband build one but my laptop should be fine either way.

      what is left to put into seasons besides weather? weather by itself i'm sorry is not worth it but i hope they put it with something even though i see slit518 point

      yes I agree. World Adventures will be a cool expansion pack I think but it definitly needs weather. I mean Egypt needs hot weather and sunburn and France need rain. It will be cool if we had weather in the game anyway but if they give us an expansion pack about weather it would be quite boring so they should put it with something else like World Adventures :lol: I think they might add weather to World Adventures because Egypt whiwout sunburn is kind of pointless... Anyway we have to wait till they give us more information about the expansion pack. But they should add weather to World Adventures! Really!

      Not only do I miss the weather. I mostly miss my PETS. We really need pets and Downtown. I miss my restaurants and Dance Clubs. I must say Sims 2 is a lot more fun then Sims 3. :roll:

      I miss weather in the game too. It makes more realistic since it´s a life simulator.
      But I don't believe TS3 will have a Seasons EP like TS2 because many features that came with it like gardening, fishing and recipe system (cuisine) we already got in the TS3 base game. It should come in a future EP but as a secondary feature for gameplay.

      I wouldn't say Paris is rainy. In fact, when I went there I got a really bad sunburn... then again it was Summer :P

      When I was there, it was cloudy and humid. :) I lived in southern Spain at the time, which was sunny and HOT so it was a nice change, although the humidity killed. All the same, I'm not too worried about there being weather in this expansion. If you need to wrap your head around it, think of it this way. Most vacations happen in the summer when the weather is pleasant anyway. It's definitely going to be bright and sunny in Egypt, so they don't need to adjust anything there and from what everyone here has said, when they've been to Paris, it's been fairly sunny and warm (except me, but that may have been a fluke).

      I will now go and read the post about the reason weather would be difficult to do. Thanks for posting the link, by the way.

      oh no! I really, really hope there are seasons. It would seem way too unrealistic without it.
