The Sims 4’s world limitations are something which caused concern about the possible Seasons expansion ever since The Sims 4 launch. Most were afraid that the development team wouldn’t be able to introduce seasons to already available worlds in The Sims 4.
Today, SimGuruMegs shared a relieving piece of information on Reddit, saying that they would never confine Seasons to just one world.
We’ve gotten this question before and no, we would never confine seasons to a single world.
In case you don’t know, The Sims Team had a decision to make during The Sims 3 Seasons development: to make 1 world with all Seasons features or to bring Seasons to all other previous worlds.
With this information provided by SimGuruMegs we can probably expect all worlds we have so far to be introduced with the concept of Seasons.
I believe Simguru Daniel (I think) answered this question over a year ago, which is what SimGuru Meg is probably referring to when she said that they’ve answered this question before. I believe SimGuru Daniel’s response was something along the lines of “there’s no reason to think that we won’t be able to implement seasons into all existing worlds”.
I believe he answered that question around the same time he was answering questions about ocean swimming (it’s a no for Windenburg because the terrain is shallow or something like that [this is just what I remember off the top of my head], but it would definitely be possible in future worlds).
But yeah, my point was that SimGuru Daniel answered a whole bunch of questions about the TS4 worlds ages ago, which included whether or not it’s possible to implement seasons into the currently existing worlds.
He only confirmed that there’s nothing about The Sims 4 that would prevent it from getting Seasons – we never got an official word about implementing Seasons into certain worlds until now.

Let’s hope they’ll release Seasons in Q2, it would add much more realism to the game!
I wished they had seasons on the way not instead of that adventure jungle one coming out…Would have wanted seasons before any Jungle play lol
