Sims combust from too much heat in the summer? Does it get like 500 degrees F or something? That sounds really stupid. Are there options to turn certain features off like they added with Supernatural?

Okay, I was a little off. It's more like 1,400 degrees for someone to combust. That's a ridiculous level of global warming.

I agree it is silly. I find it really annoying how many ways Sims can either start fires or set themselves on fire, it's ridiculous and annoying, I mean come on, really EA?!  :o >:(

That is awesome!

Ponds freeze over in the winter, so you can't fish on them, but you can ice skate.  Nice idea for a date.  You can write love letters, but I'm not sure exactly how they work.  Sims can now talk to each other about the weather.

Hm, I don't think that "come over" popup is new, actually. I know I have had it before, though only once or twice.

The older version of that pop up is when Townie Sim calls Your Sim and wants to know if they want to hang out.

The options are, Sure I'll Come Over/No Thanks

So far this expansion is awesome! I like that it asks you if you want the festival lot to be placed. I really like the halloween costumes, my one CAS critique would be that I was really hoping for more everyday clothes, and bathing suits. But really overall its awesome. I really like the female hairs that come with it.

I don't know, I didn't play TS2. I know I still get options for that now, and it's usually a No Thanks (I'd rather they come to me).

Can you set the temps in any way at all? Say, playing in a tropical region or a desert region...where it should be hotter and maybe no snow in the winter? Looking at the pic Carl has on the summer page, the temps are very mild but the sims in the pics below it are acting like they are in a tropical heatwave. Anything 70-80's isn't really hot unless there is a lot of humidity. Hot would be in the 90-100+ range. I keep my AC at about 77 in the summer and i'm not dying of heatstroke or bursting into flames. I'm kind of iffy on this ep from what i've seen so far.

Wildflower list:

Daisy - Common - §5
Blue Flax - Common - §10
Sulfur - Common - §15
Black Eyed Susan - Uncommon - §40
Azalea - Uncommon - §75
Sweet William - Rare - §200
Indian Blanket - Rare - §400
Cosmos - Rare - §600

Other minor data about wildflowers:

There will only ever be 30 in the world at any given time.   
There is a 25% chance that they will spawn from an insect, rock/gem/metal or seed spawner.
The minimum temperature at which a Wildflower will spawn is 30.  No idea if this is Celsius or Fahrenheit. 
All wildflowers have a base lifespan of 5 days.  I don't know if this is in total or if this is in the wild.  Going to find out soon.

No the only choices you have to change are what seasons will you allow, how long they will last and what inclement weather you want.  You can choose to turn off rain, hail, snow & fog.

We had this before Seasons and the last patch. When I was doing my Crosby Town Jump, Claire Ursine asked if her child could come over and play. It was the same message box.

Edit: I love this EP so much I'm starting a new Town Jump so that I can play it in all the towns. (The Coastals of BB.). Awesome EP. My favorite of them all.

Here's my first thought:  I really wish my computer would re-load all these EP/SP's faster so I could actually see what Seasons is all about!!  I figure I will be able to play sometime tomorrow, after work of course.

Must be Fahrenheit, I'm playing in Celsius and have Wildflowers spawning at -1.  You can set the game to either.
