Actually, its been up on the official site forever it seems. If I'm not mistaken, I've had an animated snowman in my game since Uni.
yep. i've had it forever. didn't know it was animated, though. it always seemed kind of silly to me to build a snowman when the weather was perfect all the time. :D

This game is also a relaxation and "escape" for me.
Yeah I play to relax and escape too. Get up, get ready, run to work, run home, eat/do chores, take care of kids, make sure homework is done, learn stuff to do better at work, and maybe watch some tv or something for fun, sleep, rinse, repeat is what I do every day. It's boring to me to have my sims' lives like that also. In order to relax and escape I want to get away from the tedium of everyday life and have stuff happen.
Ok the deaths aren't terribly realistic, but neither is turning from a 2-year-old to a 10-year-old in 1 spin or being forever happy because I sent some kids to college, not to mention alien abductions or vampires or whatall. It's a game - I can accept the game rules/world just as well as I can suspend disbelief for a book or movie as long as it's internally consistent.
I don't think enjoying those aspects that take it out of the humdrum of daily existance is either childish or sophomoric. I have no objection to mod (or even EA provided - tho I wouldn't hold my breath) options so everyone can have it however they want - quite appreciate those - but do a bit resent the comments that seem to be implying Maxis is/was catering to teens with those portions as surely adults wouldn't want them.
