  • This is kind of how I know that this pack far exceeded the others. I was playing the game for almost four hours straight the other day, and had no knowledge that that much time went by. I seriously have not done that since sims 3. With the other sims 4 expansions, a new pack would typically hold my interest for an hour or…
  • This was a bit of a culture shock to me as well. After spending almost 4 years being able to do whatever you wanted outdoors with no ramifications, it took a little getting used to the weather elements. Since most sims seem to fear the storms, it is best to keep them indoors during the storm, which can last for quite a…
  • Just make sure they have enough cash stashed for the following week when the bills arrive! Seriously high cost of living in these Sims 4 neighborhoods haha
  • I am somewhere between "Amazing" and "Really Good" voting options. Only picked amazing because, for me personally, this is the best pack ever! Have really really been enjoying it thus far. Love the calendar and holidays. Have had a lot of fun with them! I am playing 28 days per season, so I have not gotten to see spring…
  • Definitely love the equivalent of Halloween. The only thing that could make it better is if we had a horror channel to watch. Instead, I watched some of the spooky movies, but these do not seem to influence spooky spirit. All of the main holidays are great...along with the random little ones!
  • I thought I was the only one who was wanting some kind of weather forecast before I traveled to another town. It's manageable but it would be nice if we could know ahead of time. I def like how the temperatures vary between each---just wish we could get a weather report prior to visiting.
  • Can't wait to try this! Haha
  • Yes, agree. The only way I have been able to carve pumpkins is through the Spooky Stuff Carving Table. Sidebar, is anyone else disappointed that pumpkins were not a harvestable in Season?? I was really banking on creating a pumpkin patch where my sims families could go select their pumpkins!
  • I've been staying away from households with multiple sims, because the bed assignments and door locking seems to have gone crazy after the last patch. But I've been playing some single sims, and have not encountered any show-stoppers yet. Especially since they released that secondary patch this week.
  • As of now, 28 days is the max count for seasons...so up to four weeks per season. If I remember correctly, we could choose the number of days in a season in sims 3, but there was a limit. I want to say the cap for each season was like 25 or 27 days or something like that. Haha I will have to check out the rock climbing…
  • Same here! Exploring the unknown territory is half the fun :smile:
  • Ha! Never heard of PEPs before but it sooo true. Since the Seasons announcement, I have halted all Sims gameplay activity aside from building a couple of new homes. Stuck in that dark place where I do not know if I will continue with current game or just start fresh. Seasons seems like such a major game changer that I am…
  • @nolurk You're welcome!
  • The best way I've found to get around this is grafting. I have about a dozen or so trees and bushes that all grow multiple crops. It does not give you quite the volume of tons of plants, but it has allowed my gardeners to live fairly comfortably. Also works well for smaller lots where there is not a lot of yardspace.
  • @LaurenLoser16 @Starfree @CrystalAbyss1 Not sure if you saw this post on VIP but it more or less says that the patch will be released on 19th. There's so many internet tidbits out there that I thought you may have missed it :smile:…
  • I was kind of hoping that costumes would get their own category now, alongside hot and cold outfits. Think this would have worked better with costume parties and such. The only costume I really want to see make a comeback in sims 4 is that volley shark one from Sims 1. Good old Marky Sharky! I loved that thing!
  • @Anthonydyer Haha yeah...some simmer creators have remarkable talent at recreating real people. I am just not that good I guess haha. I had a hard enough time recreating some of my favorite sims cast from sims 3, but I ended up just reimagining some of them anyway, which made it much easier! Houses appear to be more my…
  • Not much different than I play (except that where I live, I get the extreme sides of both summer and winter). So if I have to put up with it, so do my Sims! I will be starting with summer as well, with as long as seasons as possible, so I can maximize the weather transitions. Hoping each season can last 3 to 4 weeks, so I…
  • Really curious how the house decorating will work. I see conflicting posts around the web. It sounds like we have to do some of the decorating, but there is some other stuff that the sims will do by themselves, by using that new decoration box item. Just wondering how much manual intervention will be needed season to…
  • @vikixc well it was a week well spent! Looks great...kind of has the modern farmhouse look. Really like that greenhouse/solarium....makes me super eager for the glass roofs!
  • Quite welcome :smiley: Just counting the days...
  • I think that's what I read. I think it said you can schedule a birthday holiday at any time, and kind of act like its a birthday. But, in order to age your sims up from to the next level, I think you still have to do the cake thing like we have been doing. Hope this is true---this way I don't have to age sims up to the…
  • You hit the nail on the head with your statement! No one was ever home when I trick or treated in Sims 3! Every time I went to a house, the people were out. Cannot tell you how many times my kids never got one piece of candy by the time the event was over. So I just stopped doing that and took them to the fall festival…
  • Yeah I'm really curious. I kind of wrote it off already because I figured the kids would have to go house to house, which means a load screen every time. Which is fine with me...just figured they may think a lot of folks would complain about this and just not do it. Good news is only 13 days to go!!
  • Oh wow! I had already mentally written trick or treating out of this game! Score!
  • Thank you @luthienrising for all the hard work that you put into these consolidations. It's so helpful to see all the information in one place! I am so excited for this pack so cannot stop reading and re-reading this information!
  • When trying to recreate Sims from real life people, the eyes and overall face shape seem to be the worst for me. I don't seem to struggle with nose or lips, and the cheeks I just arbitrarily mess around with until I get the shape I want. But the eyes seems to kill me...takes forever to get right sometimes. Though, one of…
  • I'm not a really a fan of having pets either, unless they are small pets. I wish we would get birds, turtles, and maybe iguanas or something like that. I like the critters from My First Pet, but really want more reptiles. That's what I've always owned in real life! Like you, I got Pets mostly for the new world and the…
  • I'm thinking 15-20 days per season (hopefully that's doable). 4 to 7 days would be way too short for me, in my opinion. I do not want the holidays to come so often and so quickly that they lose their luster and become same ol-same ol. So I'd like to have a majority of normal days to fill the gap. I may want summer to be…
  • Yes it is! I hope at some point they slip a canning table into the game. Would be great if sims could learn this skill. If I recall correctly, this was one of the four options they gave us when the Laundry Stuff was chosen. So must be in realm of possibility.
