Seasons...I like it

I know I' late to the party, but I really love the seasons expansion. I was afraid to get it at first because I thought it would just be "window dressing" and tedious drudge work like shoveling snow, but it's pretty cool. I like the holidays and the change in weather.
And today I found out that lightning can strike objects outside. I only found that out because Jericho is becoming a lush, I think. I put a bar on the pool patio and he keeps going out there to mix drinks. In a thunderstorm. I didn't "see" it but on his way back in he passed some burnt up furniture. I assume lightning struck it.

Seasons for me is a must have. I think shoveling snow is pointless and annoying but I can't think of anything else about that I don't like. Also, Patchy the scarecrow I think came with seasons and who doesn't enjoy an occasional romp in the hay with someone made out of hay? Am I right?
Besides the fun with Patchy, the holidays are also can't do without, except the neighborhood brawl and talk like a pirate. They're both 👎 for me.
As for lightning striking indoors, I've never experienced that!
Well, I agree about shoveling snow, but I like "talk like a Pirate Day" in real life so I like it in the sims.
I didn't know that, thanks!
(Hope no one minds my double posting from the Screenshot thread)

Be careful of the lightning, it doesn't only strike objects. It strikes Sims too. I mentioned this in another thread, but my 7D Legacy Challenge founder got struck by lightning on day 1 of my let's play. She wouldn't stop going outside and splashing in the mud. It caught up to her in the end. She didn't die though, just a bit dazed and scorched.
Also, if I remember correctly, if a sim gets struck by lightning, they have a chance of gaining some sort of powers from it. I don't know much about it but maybe someone else can explain it better. I've never had it happen in my game.
even imagine it now!
My favorite things about it are that you can create holidays and add traditions and you can see what the weather is.
It is very enjoyable and it turned out to be one of my favorite packs.
I also refuse to get the animals pack because of the animals dying. I think you can disable aging with animals too but I'm sure there are other ways they could die. NO THANKS!! I have had that happen too many times irl, it's too much.
I dance to the beat of my own drum, no matter how measured or far away.
I do love a road. You can always be wondering what is at the end of it.You can toggle off deaths from the extreme hot and cold. Also you can disable animals aging.
I had 2 sims freeze to death before I toggled it off, since then none of my sims have died from anything seasons related. I have never had an animal die.
Technically you can adjust the weather using the weather machine or a mermaid but seasons does introduce weather to your game so it isn't perpetually that sunny and 75 feeling. I prefer warm sunny weather but having seasons makes it feel more realistic and like time is passing. I love having the leaves change in the fall and all the flowers that pop up in the spring.
What flowers are popping up in the spring? I never noticed any spring flowers. Am I missing something?
In the grass, wild flowers just randomly pop up in spring. You can't pick them or anything, they just look nice.
Ohh, I'll have to watch out for them, never noticed them appearing.
