Odd things I noticed about Seasons
eamethyst:
I haven't actually played The Sims for at least a month, but I picked up Seasons yesterday. Just before I got distracted by another game, I had started a new neighborhood with just 1 YA. I don't think I even got her through her first semester. So when I installed last night, I deleted the Sims 2 folder from My Documents, having moved Downloads to the desktop first, and let the game recreate all neighborhoods. I don't have a Pleasantview. There are 3 neighborhoods in my game now, Riverblossom whatever, Strangetown, and Veronaville. And of course the option to add a new neighborhood. Not that it matters really, I've never really been attached to the premade 'hoods, but it did surprise me.
The other odd thing I noticed, I went into the Greenman household to check out the house, and the new buy and build menu options. The active Sim on entering the lot, was the Green woman, Rose, I think. One of her starting wants is to be cured of Plantsimism. If the whole purpose of her being in the game is to introduce this new "creature", why start her with the want to be cured?
jsalemi:
Heh -- I didn't even know they could be 'cured' -- I thought the plant people were a new species like the aliens.

I installed Seasons after backing up my game.I was stunned to discover all my favorite fixes and hacks still work in game. they usually break immediately. the lone exception was with cep as usual that is broken. since Pleasant view is my favorite neighborhood and the one I play exclusively I didn't want to lose my families so I added seasons rather than starting fresh.SimPe of course doesn't recognize the new Maxis hood.
So the only apparent updates needed on my Programs are CEP and Sim Pe. with SimPe it works with all the original neighborhoods and sims just the new hood needs to be added and weather related items and clothing,objects.so that was a pleasant surprise. with Pets SimPe was hopelessly broken. CEP breaks all the time anyway even when it is updated I have issues with flashing "blue" objects
Magwitch:
Nah, they're like the vamps. You can cure them by buying a potion off the annoying gypsy woman who's always hanging around.

I bought Seasons yesterday (but they didn't have the guide - so that should be coming by Fedx today from Amazon), installed it and played it with an existing family for about 3 hours. Now some of that time was buying/building a garden, etc. But still - I only made it through ONE SIM DAY!
Sim time moves slower in this game. Like half as fast. The Sims still move the same speed - but less time ellapses. I guess it makes sense, since I was wondering how they'd have time to add outdoor family activities to their schedule. And it's cool that you no longer need a whole hour to get one out of bed, dressed and out the door. But acquiring skills or teaching animal commands take forever.
Am I just nuts? Tell me someone else has noticed this. Or is this a feature of the game that everyone else but me knew about? ???
