Sims 3 Seasons, not long now!

[Caspin]

I have now got over my umbrella excitement (just about). Sometimes it's the simple things.

Some other things I love in my game since installing Seasons and SN:

1. Rain falling on the river makes the surface dappled (what a lovely effect).

2. The new recipes - I liked collecting mushrooms and then putting them into an omelette. Also I noticed that sims can now make chili con carne and some other things - yum!

3. Lots of new fireworks can be bought in the shop - I have not done this yet but I noticed there were sparklers and some new types of rockets.

4. It gets darker when it's going to rain, so it is as though clouds are passing over. For someone like me, with the opposite of seasonal affected disorder, the end to constant summer brightness is a wondrous sight!

5. New plants, presumably some are for making potions, but along with the lemon tree and aubergine from Monte Vista, the garden is looking very nice indeed. Also I liked picking some wild flowers and putting them in vases. Some of the rare ones are worth an awful lot of money - I think I got 600 simoleons for a cosmos flower.

6. Oh yes - umbrellas!



I don't have many complaints so far. Except:

1. For SN, they really should have included a toggle to switch off zombies. I know there are mods and cheats to get rid of them, but it seems ridiculous to have a way to switch of all the other creatures (and pets and specifically horses and celebrities) but not zombies, which I would guess are the most annoying of the SNs.

2. I don't really see a lot of nice outfits for Outerwear. A few more basic coats and things would be good. No doubt they will put in a highly priced appearance in the Store in due course.
