One weird thing about the snow — you can’t see it from inside the house. At least, WE can’t. The Sims notice it, as you’ll see in a few pics. But check this out — here’s an inside view during a snowfall.
Doesn’t look like much is going on out there. Now here’s the same view from just outside the door:
That’s a tad bit disappointing, but I suppose that’s how they got around the problem they had of precipitation falling inside the house — if the camera’s outside, you see snow. If it’s inside, you don’t.
The looking-out-the-window action seems a bit buggyish — here’s Stella Roth with her face stuck in the wall as she tries to view the lovely snowflakes.
(That’s it, I need to get Sandra Roth married to Alexander Goth or something so we can have little Goth-Roths running around. That would rock.)
Carolyn and Henry ooh and ahh over the snowfall in the proper non-stuck-in-wall fashion.
The snow piles up, and everything is white…just another day in Minnesota -er, I mean, Riverblossom Hills…
This totally cracked me up…just where does she think she’s going? Put your coat on, young lady!
Wheee, snow is fun.
It’s also tasty. [Insert joke about not eating yellow snow here.]
Joel builds a snowman. (Winter is so much more fun when you’re a kid. I’m telling ya.)
He looks pretty satisfied with the result.
However, it’s apparently just as satisfying to knock it all down.
I LOVE THE PENGUIN. Not only is he adorable, he’s educational, too!
I had Henry get a job in the new Journalism career, and he was promoted to Blog Writer! Hey, I didn’t know you could get paid for doing that. I wanna quit my day job! *snerk*
That’s all for now. I’ll post more pics as I play the Pfefferles, unless I get bored with them and decide to go back to working on my new ‘hood. I want to write some stories, dangit!
Happy Simming!
absolutely stunning, imma sooo jealous!! that poor poor baby, those winter toddler outfits is going to be one of those “change to outerwear stat” thing to do! LOL too cute thou! :D
Cool! I have a mac so it wont come out for me for alittle while. I cant wait to see what you have in store for this family!
Yay, thanks for posting pics, Jen. :D Seasons looks great! I cannot wait to be able to get my hands on it. Loving the snow.. and the penguin!
Awesome Jen! I love that you’re making families again! I can’t wait until my Seasons come. I pre-ordered them from amazon but they’re not supposed to come for a few more days..waah. :’-( sadsad. Thank you for posting! :)
Wow, Seasons looks like so much fun! On the eighth picture, it looks like Stella is holding those flowers in the background and I thought that George was supposed to throw the ball in the basket…I must be crazy or something.
Thank you for these pictures of Seasons!
Very awesome, Jenn. I haven’t had much a chance to explore past the default hood and folks… I was trying to fix GunMod’s lighting and forgot to back up my lights… heh. So I’m currently reinstalling everything all over again… good thing I backed up everything else, LOL!
The snow is very pretty, though. :D
Jen, I find it funny how your “ugliest house” is still not bad at all. You’re great.
Hee, I thought the same thing as Vivi. “-That’s- her ugliest house?! But it’s NICE!”
I think my favorite pictures from this update would be the one with the toddler crawling out in the snow, and Mathy The Penguin! :D He’s YOUR friend, TOO!
Knowledge Sim, through and through. I’ll betcha his Wants panel has the following things on it:
Gain a Skill Point
Get an A+
Gain twenty two skill points
Become a Mad Scientist
Be Abducted by Pengualiens
Have a baby that gains a skill point
He got an expanded Wants panel. University, you know.
And the baby crawling out into the snow– just– aww! I didn’t even notice her little head, but there it was. :D I laughed.
You’re not the only one who mentioned the similarity between HP’s Roman hair and the new men’s Seasons hair. I wonder if it was intentional on Maxis’s part, and HystericalParoxysm’s opinion on it? Hmm.
Gleeeeee! Absolute gleeeeeeeeee! And I think that first picture qualifies as one of the purtiest ones you’ve ever taken, and you know how I love your camera fu. :D Rock on, Jen!
This EP looks amazing! The snow is so pretty. I actually think your “ugly” house looks like something you might see in my home town in upstate NY… especially when it’s covered in snow. Where does the penguin come from? I’ve been out of the Sims loop for a little while so I haven’t been able to do my Seasons research. Your pictures just look so cozy that they make me want to curl up with a cup of hot chocolate. Mmm…
I haven’t had the chance to get seasons yet and these pics make me want to get it even more!. I love the pic of the toddeler crawling though the snow and that pengiun is cute.
Glad you’re enjoying the new EP I hope it will inspire you to write some stories.
See ya
Awesome Jenn! It’s good to see your sims again. Seasons has so much neat stuff. I love looking at the game through your eyes!
Hey Jen! I love Seasons too! I’ve also noticed some bugs, and some bummers. Like how you can set hairstyles for every clothing category…but only if the hair is the same color. No blond hair for swimwear and brown for formalwear. Wouldn’t be a big deal except I’ve got some hair in the brown category that is actually a blond color, so it’s not fun when I’m stuck to brown! But anyway, my sims get stuck staring at the wall too but only on the windows that are centered on two squares. And my game goes really slow when it’s snowing. But other than that, I love it! I took pictures too of a family in the seasons, but I haven’t posted them yet. Hehehe, enjoy Seasons!
Seasons is pretty darn cool… I’m enjoying it immensely thus far. I didn’t even bother playing with the family I made, and just decided to test out custom content on a pre-Maxis lady instead. They really filled the hood with a lot of Familes and stories this time around. And Lots! I was surprised.
Anywho, GREAT Captions. I love the penguin.. he’s the best part of this expansion. LOL
LMAO @ Blu!!!!
So… cuuuuute…!
What’s the special creature thingie for seasons? You know, alien, zombie, vampire, robot, werewolf… :D
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. I have Seasons, but I can’t do anything with it until tonight at the earliest. I can’t wait! Love your recap. Makes me wish I could go home right NOW.
hmph im so jealous i’m getting the game tomorrow.and my friends are getting it today.(in britain it comes out today).Though my friend said shed phone me as soon as she’s done a bit of simming.p.s watch out that poor kid could freeze out there!
Keely – Plantpeople! :D If your Sim uses too much chemicals on their plants, they can overdose and turn into a green person. The plants only need water, sunshine and love, and they can procreate either like regular Sims or by seeding. They also only have three life stages: toddler, adult and elder.
omg! im like zoooooo jelouse!! me bdays da 16/3 zo maybe ill get sesns den {its just how i write seasons 4 slang} good luk wit it!!
(i made a woman called misty exepy shaes a vampire!!}
WOAH!!! I love all the seasons things, I am SO getting it tomorrow! I’ve been missing updates like this for a while from you!!! I’m so happy! :)
Yellow Snow Joke (kudos?!): Hey, maybe mom and dad won’t mind if I put some apple juice in here and start eating it, it would make good ice cream….
Reagan and Rose(in unison): TOO COOL FOR WORDS!
Rose: We are getting seasons 2morrow at Target..
Reagan: I am soo jealous right now. (pouts in corner)
Rose: KK thanks for the pics!
Reagan: Post more soon!
Wow!! The new expansion looks great! No serious bugs yet I hope? ::knocks on wood:: How much time in between till they change the season to the next? It looks so cool! :)
