Microclimates in Uni?

I'll play each family until the youngest child reaches being a teen etc.
I don't have that kind of discipline, Tigerlily. I play each family for a few Sims days in an attempt to keep things somewhat balanced...and from getting horribly bored as sections of my hood now look like an AARP convention. Then off to Uni, which houses six private dorms and a couple of cowplants for culling purposes.
But I do try crazy experiments, such setting up large farm run by Servos to supply the hood with produce and fish (still working on that one). Or the time I turned Nanny Poppins, who used to be the Pleasantview nanny, into the Pleasantview slut. She now lives in a townhouse downtown. ;)
Eleonora:
Had this happen once in my game as well. Freshly dug pond didn't freeze over, despite snow being on the lot. However, some 12 sim hours or so the problem corrected itself, much to my dismay, since I liked my sims being able to fish in winter.
I've found seasons to be particularly useful for my game play. I used to rotate my families on a weekly basis, but it was a bit on the long side. Now I just rotate them once every season, 5 days is the right amount of time for me. Plus I can tell from the neighbourhood screen how far each family has progresses (season icon next to family name).

Huh -- I never noticed the season icon in the family info.
Ness:
I do the same, Eleonora. I have the seasons in sync across the whole hood, rotate to the next house at the end of each season, and the season icons tell me where I'm up to in the rotation at any given time. 5 days is just long enough to be getting ready to want to rotate for most lots. There are some where I simply drop in, advance to the next season, suck some life out of the sims there and then go. Permaplat sims with all the kids at uni are just so boring!

Lot Sync Timer is still good for doing fast-advance, just shiftclick and mash that "Skip Day" Button: Everyone ages a day, collects relevant daily paychecks, and season advances.
