Reasonable Length of time for Each Season?
« on: April 29, 2013, 12:49:57 PM »
I purchased a hard copy of Seasons online yesterday and I was thinking...
Just what is a reasonable amount of time for each season? I was thinking 4 days then adding a few days to the child/teen stage of life, for holidays and such.

It depends on how often you want to switch things through.  I like 7, 10 & 14 days.  With 7 days you know the holidays are always on thursday.  With 14 it's every other Thursday.  With 10 it changes much like an actual year will.   

Doing it every 4 days means every 16 days you'll have four days that you have to take off from work, school, etc.

The default setting of 7 days is reasonable.

7 seems pretty reasonable :3
How does Seasons affect WA travel? I'm thinking of making my next generation in my current file an explorer or collector of collectibles :3

Also I have Supernatural. Is that weather stone thing a community lot or object that I will have to place myself?

There is no weather in WA worlds.   The stone will randomly appear somewhere in the world on a community lot as soon as you open a game.

Even a game file I have currently running?

Yep.  You'll get a notification and it will have a purple button to hit to go to the location.

I prefer seven days because it means the seasons aren't too long or short. Personally, winter gets quite tedious so I sometimes shorten that, unless I'm doing a mock challenge or dynasty.

I set summer at 14 days, and leave the other seasons at 7 days. My sim needs to work on her garden, and I don't want to buy the greenhouse.

Depends on your liking of each season and on your lifespan settings I'd say
