Bon Voyage dissatisfaction
jsalemi:
I'm beginning to agree with what someone posted earlier -- they don't seem to have integrated it very well with Seasons. So far, there's been a raging thunderstorm come up on every community lot my sims visited, both on the island and on the asian vacation lots (haven't been to the mountains yet). Hmm, maybe TOO much like RL. Though they did get one thing right -- one of my sims was swimming when it started to thunder, and she no sooner got out of the water than she got struck by lightning. :) Of course, she didn't get a memory of being shocked, though she did get the 'had an accident' memory when she didn't make it to the bathroom on time.
Other silliness I've noticed: the paperboy comes every day to an owned vacation house. Ok, not that bad, but the mail person also shows up, though he/she doesn't actually do anything (that I've seen so far, anyway). And if you're on a beach lot, you can dig for treasure everywhere but on the actual beach -- you can only 'comb for seashells' on the beach.

OK, but if you were a pirate burying your treasure, would you bury it right on the beach where the tide might come in and wash it away, fill the thing with water, and potentially soak your secret maps, or would you bury it a bit further inland?
With the weather problems reported, I'm generally glad that I'm running without seasons - smug bastard that I am, I rejoice that my sims get all good weather for their sunny beach vacations. That almost compensates for the fact that (without NL) restaurants in my hotels don't work as anything but seating areas.
KatEnigma:
Odd, I've had one hail storm and a couple rain showers, but nothing unusual.
ZiggyDoodle:
I recall reading in the guide that the weather you will experience at your vacation spot is tied in to the existing weather in your hood, and that should be taken into account when planning a vacation. Damned if I can recall the precise language, though, as my guide is at home and I'm here at work. Something about seasonal quadrants..
Will quote the precise language when I get home, if someone doesn't beat me to it.
jsalemi:
That would be interesting if true, since all the lots in my test hood are either in late autumn or early winter. So if it would snow on the home lot, it translates as rain on the beach lot. Makes a weird sort-of EAxian sense, I suppose.
