The festival includes a roller skating rink, soccer goals, a spray tan booth and a hot dog eating contest. Sims can also now swim in the sea, and the new lounger item lets your Sim be in the pool without actually swimming. Summer is a warm season, where Sims can enjoy sunny days (just beware of burning!) and the occasional shower or thunderstorm. Your Sims will be able to stay home from school or work on this particular day and take part in the festivities (or just do nothing). This time around, each season has its own festival and a special day associated with it. The Sims 3 Seasons includes many of the features that were in The Sims 2 Seasons expansion pack: changing seasons and various weather types and activities associated with them. Seasons is the third, and last expansion pack released last year and it adds some features that Sims fans have been yearning for since the base game came out in 2009: weather and…aliens. Also side note, I think that the next EP is going to be a Makin Magic-type of thing.2012 was a busy year for The Sims 3.
I'll update this as I go along as I have not made it to any fall/winter holidays yet! So far though, it's been pretty fun. (Not a bug) But holy shit the thermostat bills are insane! I used MCCC to take them down a bit as I think 4k on a starter home is a bit much. No seasonal stands in the neighborhoods
Shadows from trees are being strange, idk how to describe it but they are very weird. Flooring and wallpapers are frustratingly slow to use, and the game gets all jumpy when placing them Initially my calendar function didn't work at all but I repaired the game and it worked after. The parenthood family calendar doesn't work at all for me, it glitches the whole game and everyone stops moving if I try to use it.
(Mods I run are MCCC, WickedWhims and Basmental which have all been updated for seasons patch from their creators.) Here's what I am experiencing after playing through two seasons (Spring and Summer) In classic Sims 4 fashion though this is buggy as hell. The gameplay is fun! Adds a lot more emotion to the game and the calendar function is really nice.
So that's basically all I went in expecting and I think that's why I'm happy with it so far.Ĭan't wait to actually play tomorrow and to play the story I have planned in my brain :-) It was my understanding that this pack was mostly about giving us seasons (duh) and updating gardening. I think I've seen on here maybe people aren't happy that more stuff wasn't included in build/buy. The new beds are also FREAKING perfect and I'm so happy those were included. So overall I really do like the build/buy items. Just personally for me at the moment it isn't an issue.
However, I do get how if you'd already bought a pack and then this one is reselling it, that'd be irritating. So most of the stuff that I'm seeing around as being reskins, I don't actually have anyways so it's a nonissue. Now about reskins, I have 4 EPs, 2 GPs and 1 SP.
I like having the variety since I'm trying to stray from my tradition 'vanilla' gameplay. I still haven't gotten a chance to actually play yet unfortunately (had work and then spent 5 hours building), however, I've seen most if not all of the build/buy items so I can comment on that for now.Ī lot of the furniture styles is not my taste for what I usually use, however, a lot of it (not including reskins) is different, which I appreciate.
