I'm sure they're making/thinking of a seasons/weather expansion! I know a lot of people like/liked it from the Sims 3 so it would be weird for them not to.
The restrictions are there so your restaurant could be open with you not being on the lot which I think is a really nice aspect that they added and they should be praised for that. Also I find my two sims that run the resturant spend lots of they're time working in the restaurant while it's open. Maybe you haven't played…
I'm wondering the same! I loved in the Sims 3 when they would always be in the wrong outfits and talk to random objects. Maybe random fights would be fun too :D . that would be amazing.
I think it would be a little weird having the mermaid life "Setting" or "Stage" before we get a supernatural themed expansion but I love the idea. Windenburg is beautiful but imagine this new world <3 .
