Lot/neighborhood seasonal anachronism
cwieberdink:
This is really interesting how it works (and no hacks in the game, pulled just to make sure) but the entire 'hood looks like winter, yet all the lots but one show as "summer". I wonder what causes the neighborhood view to show one season or another then? The last lot played? Like I said in my first post, I had never played a single lot for more than a few sim-days at a time, so I never noticed the "time shift" before. But I got caught up in playing sim me, started in Spring, went through Fall, had some fun snowfall in Winter, then my game went asplode. After fixing everything, reinstalling, etc. I put in the backup game and that's when I noticed the time difference in other lots. :shrugs: oh well, it's okay, just a little weird to me.

Last lot played displays the neighbourhood weather.

I like the fact that different households will be in different seasons. It gives me some variety in my rotation. I don't want to be playing a dozen lots in a row that are all snowing.
The last time I played Apocalypse I was not only playing the main lot, I was also playing the non-heirs who had lifted their restriction then moved out, and they were also still in permanent winter as that restriction hadn't been lifted. I found that walkbys who had done enough walkbys would turn blue with cold, then fall over in the snow outside - apparently each time they walked by their temperature was lowered further and eventually they hit freezing point. For me that's another good reason not to sync the seasons in all my households, particularly in a neighbourhood with a lot of households - by the end of a winter rotation I could risk some of my playables falling face down in the snow on a neighbour's lot.

Is that when you send sim-me, so I get struck by lightning? :D
No, that was just intermittent rain. But that's an excellent idea. I'm glad I thought of it! Death to Emma!
Emma:
'Smite' is always an option too :P
