SimGuruGraham addresses the "No New World complaints" that seems to be plaguing the Simming Community.  [link]

So... let me get this straight: there was a team busy with pet routine since the beginning of the game already, but they never anticipated on how weather stations work on the different worlds created so far? I immediately believe this whole weather system is incredibly complicated and EA knows that better than I do. And that is exactly why I am so surprised.
I really hope CAW users can take this well.

"Spooky Day" seems really fun, and the costumes will be a delight. It will probably take forever for me to choose one for my Sims, but that's part of the fun.
I don't like the new loading screen, I might have to cover my eyes or wear sunglasses when it comes up. It would've been nice if the loading screen changed every few seconds for the seasons, starting from winter and ending in autumn. The transition would look nice.
I can't wait to listen to the live broadcast, but I might have to watch the replay instead.

The loading screen loads one season at a time. So Autumn first then a few seconds later the Winter section appears. There is a video you can watch here.

I am so jealous of all you simmers in the United States. Here in the UK we have to wait until the 16th!

So apparently two things that are being reported as part of Seasons - online dating & greeting cards.

I hope it doesn't also have an Election Season! All the ads, and we're not even in a "swing state"!

There was a small patch today that including swimming in oceans, greeting cards, an attraction system and a lot of bug fixes.  To talk about it, go to this thread.

Swimming in oceans? Oh man, I am installing that patch as we speak.
Sunlit Tides, here we come!

Swimming in oceans... wow.

Great patch btw. Starting up my family makes the game freeze and force back to desktop.
