Don't read the official forums right now, it will make your head explode. *BOOM!*

Now I am seeing posts that ask if they should place lot markers on all their lots, so the seasons will change on the lot. One other member answered "yes, the coding to change seasons is in the marker and all the lots with the marker will change seasons but your uploaded lot will not. It will always be summer on it."

It's still greyed out for me. Beginning to suspect my origin is acting up again.

I got my copy playing now. does the festival for the different seasons only happen on the holiday for that season?

I notice it takes a couple of sim days for the festival set up. It was up about three days before the holiday and closed midnight after the holiday. So the festival lot is up for several days, according to how long you set your seasons. I have mine set up for a while, 9 days.

Quick question about this ice lounge. I don't want this hideous thing in my game, so i was wondering if its possible for me to give the serial number to someone who does want it,but wasn't able to get it? That's not illegal or anything, right?

The ice lounge is only available after your registration of the game. It doesn't require a code. It downloads in the store.

I really could go on for days about the furniture in this game, but I'd rather not.


I'm also kind of bummed out how little decorative stuff there seems to be in this EP. I was hoping for a bunch of foyer stuff, especially coat racks, umbrella stands and all that... But just one coat rack which looks like it belongs to a children's room?

Although, EA has probably kept new objects to a minimum in this EP and they will release a huge batch of new sets in Store that "complement" this EP. They've done it for a while now with new EPs. They put only very little new things into EPs, then put the rest available in Store to rip off more money!

When you register your game on the official website it will unlock the ice lounge for download in your Store purchase history. If you don't want it in your game, just don't download it.

Are there any pre-made houses added to the bin?
Mad Poster
#2739 Old 13th Nov 2012 at 1:59 PM
Nope, just the community festival lots. The one used in the producers chat came from the empty houses lot bin, one from the base game. Forgot the name. Graham said he will upload it later.

Sorry, didn't fully type out the last part, Graham remodeled it for the walk-through, that is the one he is uploading. The one in the lot bin still needs a redo.

WTF with the attraction/love letters in the game. I sent the wife to get the mail and she notified, "There's a letter for Mookey. So and so said they can't stop dreaming of you and want to get together." After that, no mad moodlet, no queues to question him about so and so, and nothing to argue about. Shaking my head NO!! That system is bull.

Oh yeah, my sim don't get phone calls, he gets love letters.

The only thing Seasons has more of than generations is clothing, which consists of a lot of repeats, or reused materials. For example, every pair of boots in seasons for everyone is the same. Of course, there are other use, and there needed to be a lot of stuff for every age group, again, but facts are facts.

There are less build/buy items in the game by comparison. I, also, don't think the furniture as useful as the Generations furniture, but the usable items are large in number.

The gameplay has a far greater scope and lifetime than generations, but, it's kind of obvious that it's lacking in certain areas, but then again, it makes up for it in others.

Seasons is just barely over 1 Gig.

I didn't plan on downloading it. Its just that the emails i got from origin gave me 3 different serial codes. One for the expansion, one for the costume pack, and one for the ice lounge. I wasn't sure if someone could use the serial code for my ice lounge to get it in their game, if they didn't have it.

My local WalMart sold out, so I had to break down and am downloading it on Origin. I had to have it today (and literally right now) because I will not have much time to play it again anytime soon. Really wanted a physical copy, but what could I do? =(

Seriously, when does that happen? I was able to get the Limited Edition (meaning first shipment) of Pets an entire month after it was released.

For now, though, my decorative Bassoon conversion for TS4. =)
