The Sims 3 Seasons: Announcement Thread

[TheTripWasInfraGreen]

It's more that I want it without a beret of any sorts. But oh well.

Just logged into Twitter and SimGuruGraham has answered a ton of questions, here are some:

.@Bexii_B00 If you preorder Seasons from Origin you'll get some extra things that you can't get from the store; namely the awesome shark costume and bumblebee costume - perfect for trick-or-treating or reenacting Jaws If you're in North America you can even order a retail boxed copy with disc from Origin if that's your preference. http://bit.ly/UjKQ8D RT @Bexii_B00 @SimGuruGraham Just watched today broadcast, fantastic!! 1 Question though which is it better preorder from a store or from Origin?

.@MissPuckerLips Sorry, no Santa in Seasons. The holidays the Sims celebrate share aspects of ones that you see in real life, but they have their own unique fiction. I think some of our free Santa assets on The Sims 3 Store will be going back up around Christmas for the storytellers out there that want that in their game. RT @MissPuckerLips @SimGuruGraham I am not sure if you covered this in the broadcast, but since you get gift parties, does that mean that Santa is back?

.@VampiresTeeth You could use cheat codes to move the weather stone around or to get it to appear in a new location if you wanted. RT @VampiresTeeth @SimGuruGraham Can we replace the weather stones in our worlds as we want? I don't want it to be in front of the city hall!

Now Twitter is trying to tell me something, and I think it's a message from the maker of my other favorite game, Evil Genius.

Another thing is if you have Supernatural, you can create the 'Death By Freezing' Ghost, as it was added when the patch 1.42 went in.

This thread isn't about Supernatural.

But the Death By Freezing Ghost is.

I created a ghost in CAS that was Frozen to death, and this is what she looked like;

It is the new ghost for Seasons.

I love the colours of the new ghost, as it clearly shows that it was frozen and because of the beautiful colours. I wonder how long does it take a Sim that has been outside in winter and with no outerwear, to become frozen? And then how long do you have to be frozen to pass away?

For those scared for unplanned Male Pregnancies in your Dynasty, fear not. The chance to get abducted by an alien is nearly equal to that of being hit by a meteor - 2%.

That's great to hear, thank you for sharing that.

That is a huge sigh of relief for me, then. I guess that clinches it then. I WILL be getting Seasons...as soon as I can upgrade my RAM to handle another expansion pack.

Oh . I have never had a meteor but I really hope I get some alien abductions!

Ice Skating and Snowboarding are separate from Athletic skill and something in the middle of a visible skill and hidden skill.

Traits are Loves the Cold and Loves the Heat.

Do we have any idea what they do?

The traits you mean? This is purely my guessing but I imagine Sims with these traits would get positive moodlets and wishes related to the preferred season, and negative moodlets if they are outside during the other.
I hate winter with a passion, so I think a wish to 'stay indoors for X hours' during winter would be excellent.

Someone at MTS got a still from the newest trailer. Alien toddlers!
