Seasons - First Impressions

[sdhoey]

I love the fall frost. This was taken at midnight from my Dynasty file in Sunset Valley on the first day of Fall.

Does anyone have pictures of an ailen baby/child/teen? I don't have this EP, and I really want to see one.

[Hyacintha]

I'm actually enjoying this EP more than I am with Supernatural.

Here's my Sim and his wicked cool tan.



Yes, he looks like he crawled out of a bag of Cheetos.



Having a spin with his girlfriend.


Uh oh!



Nah Nah Naaah!



Getting the hang of skating

I am wondering if perhaps buying Seasons AND Showtime on the same day and attempting to explore it all in a sample family was a bit ambitious :p

My acrobat is particularly hilarious in knee-deep snow.  I think it's just a graphical error.  I'm playing in Starlight Shores, which is lovely in all seasons.  I planned one child for my rather poor founding Sims, and ended up with twins and an alien baby.  The alien baby's family routinely shows up to harass the doorbell.

I also discovered that clicking on the outside of the houses allows for holiday lights - and you can forget to take them down in the Spring just like a real family.  I may actually end up extending my seasons to 10 days each because it's hard to actually build careers, take care of kids, and enjoy all of the seasonal festivities in the 7-day span.

Oh, dear. Two Snow Days in a row after a weekend. How is Brooke Coastal going to make up the missed days and get her grades up? She's going to have to work her little sim self hard to make it. I didn't know about Snow Days. Yikes!

Does tutoring still work when there is snow days?

[JudesSims]

I don't think I've ever used tutoring. I'll have to check it out. Does it bring up grades? She only went to school one day and has a C. Two days until age up.

If you tutor a child (not the logic tutoring but the one found under friendly) the grades go up. If I remember correctly this also apply for teens.

I've only played Seasons for a few hours today and so far, I'm loving it. It's still during the summer festival. I still have a lot to explore and experience. I'm very happy with my purchase. EA has been giving simmers amazing Expansions and Stuff Packs lately. They are amazing !

Well, unfortunately, there's no option for tutoring. A sim in the family must have to be a genius. AND there was a Snowflake Day thrown in. So now I have a couch potato teen...LOL That might be a good lesson for dynasties and legacies. Make sure your sim will not become a child in the winter. Brooke was conceived in the summer. I think any other season would be fine.

No, you don't need to be a genius to tutor. Just have logic to level 5+ - my non-genius werewolf heir had the option.

Though now I have to ask, if you get several snow days in a row, and just keep the tutoring up to an A, will you get on honor roll even if you're snowbound?

[JudesSims]

Alrighty then. That's why. Neither Jake nor Josephine have logic skill. Brooke only made it up to a B in grade school so no honor roll.

In the skating rink, werewolves (in wolf form) will do a Worgen's Running Wild werewolf run around the rink with no skates on.



Fairies fly around the rink, as do genies.





Also, genies are one occult that cannot use the weather stone. I haven't yet checked IFs, ghosts, Mummies, Simbots, and I'm sure I forgot one. Witches, werewolves, fairies are my currently confirmed.

Edit: Oh, vampires

Game not here yet ad was already dispatched so contact amazon and said it will be tomorrow as first class means 1-2 business days  and explained i had received others early.  It was good as I would not had time to play at all today.

[sdhoey]

I thought in video broadcast they had, said that they ones the could use the Weather Stone, would only be the ones from Supernatural.
