pond stays frozen in spring - is it supposed to?
cwykes:
Is the pond supposed to stay frozen in spring? I used the reward point object to change the season from winter to spring last night so my sims could go fishing, but the pond didn't unfreeze. Is that normal or glitchy?
Emma:
It is normal. Now if it stayed frozen all throughout summer, then that would be a glitch. ;) My ponds stay frozen until mid-spring usually.
Kyna:
I find it normal for the game, and irritating.
It doesn't snow in winter where I live, and I set up one of my 'hoods to reflect that, with spring-double summer-autumn. The pond will freeze over on the first day of spring in this neighbourhood and stay frozen for a few days, which is silly. Ponds never freeze here.
cwykes:
Thanks Emma - it had unfrozen in summer so I guess it's 'as intended'. I don't expect ponds to be frozen in spring either.
I suppose that seasons actually run from quarter day to quarter day and 'winter' weather doesn't just happen in winter. I'm sure the designers are pretty proud of it, but it does give you odd effects when you re-arrange the Seasons. Frozen ponds in spring when there's been no winter doesn't make sense. I find it irritating that there isn't a good setting for Strangetown either - it's a Maxis 'hood so you'd have thought they'd design weather that would work for it. I've got it set to perpetual summer and it rains way too much. I guess I'd really like customisable weather. Don't suppose there's a hack out there to let you tweak the chance of rain etc. is there?

He/she has several weather/Neighborhood related hacks. I haven't looked at them too close so don't know what they exactly do.
