SimGurus are currently answering some questions on Twitter regarding The Sims 4 Seasons Expansion Pack.

Although this isn’t a full SimGuru Q&A that we usually get right after a pack announcement, we do have some minor information shared by SimGurus on Twitter. SimGuruKate confirmed that  we can expect more information on the road to the release of Seasons.

We’ll make sure to update this post with new tweets as (and if) they surface so make sure you check this post regularly for new information!

No Q&A planned right now. We like to keep some of the mystery live. But much will be revealed in time.

A couple questions I can answer right now! @SimGuruGrant gave me great insight so send thanks his way.

1. There will be no new world because we wanted to focus entirely on making the existing worlds (and all their neighborhoods), as gorgeous as possible for all four seasons.

— Kate (@SimGuruKate) May 24, 2018

2. Yes, the new kiddie pools can be used by toddlers. In fact this was the primary reason for creating this wonderful object!

Okay so I deeply analised the glass roof. And it appears to me that it is a new build mode feature, where you can somehow have actual roofing elements that are glass. In the screenshot you can see that the roof has a roof trim, which completely aligns with the wall! #TheSims4 pic.twitter.com/QzbYzMXG84

Hrm… who else noticed this? #BuildersGonnaBuild https://t.co/n0GiUkYYZO

— Aaron Houts (@SimGuruHouts) May 24, 2018

No tornadoes, but I approve of this pun. https://t.co/b7DFVgfKWR

— Kate (@SimGuruKate) May 24, 2018

Hmm. Oh yeah. We did do that.

It'll be a part of the free update for you guys. Cannot wait to see what builders make. https://t.co/QoQX5lXF5Z

The Sims 4 has been so successful. The community is SO strong. We are thinking years out. We aren't going anywhere. https://t.co/BJVm5hou7u

— Grant Rodiek (@SimGuruGrant) May 24, 2018

We're super busy right now finalizing TS4 Seasons and preparing for EA Play. But, we will have streams in the near future. https://t.co/V37H0of1Rz

— Grant Rodiek (@SimGuruGrant) May 24, 2018

We tend to release the update shortly before the pack is available for purchase. https://t.co/KG5CNEay5n

— Grant Rodiek (@SimGuruGrant) May 24, 2018

YESHHHH!!!!!!!! I think this will outsell C&D lmao

— Natasha (@E4Epic) May 24, 2018

Not likely, but it should do well. It's consistently the #2 pack everyone asks for behind Cats and Dogs. https://t.co/bcFHPWowh8

— Grant Rodiek (@SimGuruGrant) May 24, 2018

Yes. Worlds will have appropriate weather. Otherwise…I'd have to go into witness protection. https://t.co/agHyMV1OQv

— Grant Rodiek (@SimGuruGrant) May 24, 2018

The rain is gorgeous in the jungle… https://t.co/Wy7kDkVyhY

— Grant Rodiek (@SimGuruGrant) May 24, 2018

The kiddie pool was designed FOR toddlers. https://t.co/z6SwGXyRXx

— Grant Rodiek (@SimGuruGrant) May 24, 2018

The moment at the end of the trailer has really caught many of your eyes.
This is not quite superpowers or magic, but something fun with lightning strikes. I don't want to say too much more or it would spoil the fun. @SimGuruGrant pic.twitter.com/vcQAHvyqtZ

— Rebecca Doyle (@SimGuruRad) May 24, 2018

Since you're able to create your own holiday, it would really rain on people's parades if you couldn't make Halloween 🙂

— Emory (@SimGuruEmory) May 24, 2018

Yep! One of them is particularly…chilling.

— Emory (@SimGuruEmory) May 24, 2018

Are you asking if lightning can kill Sims? It'd be a real buzzkill if it couldn't 🙂

— Emory (@SimGuruEmory) May 25, 2018

Question, will the swing set also be usable by teenagers??? PLEASE SAY YES! SWINGS ARE MY FAVORITE THING AS AN ADULT!!!

— Dreama Dove (@DreamaDove) May 25, 2018

Sorry, no beaches as there's no new world, but there are plenty of other fun things to do in the summer 🙂

— Emory (@SimGuruEmory) May 25, 2018

Previously existing saves will be prompted to pick a season once you first load them up. After that they'll go through the seasonal cycle just like saves made after Seasons.

— Emory (@SimGuruEmory) May 25, 2018

There are indeed some groovin' new radio stations 🎶🎵

— Emory (@SimGuruEmory) May 25, 2018

I’m going to answer just a few of the questions I have seen about Seasons. If your question isn’t answered don’t worry, we still plan to release a Q&A next week!

Q. Will there be new foods/recipes?
A. Yes! And some will make you hungry in real life. 🤤

— Kate🌷☀️🍂☃️ (@SimGuruKate) May 25, 2018

Q. Will the Penguin be returning in this EP?
A. Not this time around. We couldn’t get them to leave the Antarctic.

— Kate🌷☀️🍂☃️ (@SimGuruKate) May 25, 2018

Q. Can the sprinklers be used to water gardens?
A. Yup! And guess what? The rain will also water your garden as well!

— Kate🌷☀️🍂☃️ (@SimGuruKate) May 25, 2018

Q. Will there be a new collection?
A. Not this time around.

Want to know something sad? I personally have never completed any of the current collections. I get close but never finish. *Embarrassed*

— Kate🌷☀️🍂☃️ (@SimGuruKate) May 25, 2018

Sorry. One of the trade offs we had to make. We'll try to create more soon!

— Grant Rodiek (@SimGuruGrant) May 25, 2018

Q. Will my Sims get to suffer allergies like us mere humans?
A. No. And we are incredibly jealous that they are allergy free.

— Kate🌷☀️🍂☃️ (@SimGuruKate) May 25, 2018

And our final question for today.

Q. Will there be new harvestables?
A. Yesiree

— Kate🌷☀️🍂☃️ (@SimGuruKate) May 25, 2018

I can't talk about snow right now, but you'll be able to change season length in options. When you start a new game or load up an existing non-Seasons save, you'll be able to pick a season to start in. I know this isn't satisfactory, but we'll be able to talk more in the future.

— Emory (@SimGuruEmory) May 26, 2018

Sorry, no soccer set. But there are other fun spring / summer activities this time around, as well as all the new gardening updates

— Emory (@SimGuruEmory) May 26, 2018

This time around we're not using discrete temperatures (F vs. C squabbles), but it can get cold enough for blizzards and hot enough for heatwaves. As for individual neighborhood weathers, that's something for simmers to find out once they start playing 🙂

— Emory (@SimGuruEmory) May 26, 2018

You can pick a starting season, but the seasons will follow the same cycle (spring-summer-fall-winter-spring). However, the handy Weather Controller object might let you change that…🔧

— Emory (@SimGuruEmory) May 26, 2018

@SimGuruKate @SimGuruGrant @SimGuruHouts WHAT IS THIS??!?! pic.twitter.com/tar3uFxLq6

— Malore (@Oreo_246) May 25, 2018

You tell me, I'm just a producer!

It's a weed vacuum. https://t.co/HiCnX5b3U5

— Grant Rodiek (@SimGuruGrant) May 26, 2018

We didn't make Mermaids in Seasons. https://t.co/x2pTOzHVRp

— Grant Rodiek (@SimGuruGrant) May 26, 2018

We did not implement horoscopes. https://t.co/M497w0BtDO

— Grant Rodiek (@SimGuruGrant) May 26, 2018

More traitssss

@SimGuruGrant so when are we getting a livestream? I want to see Season in action, I can't contain my excitement.

— EvieGames (@bewitchedbrew) May 25, 2018

Early/Mid June most likely. https://t.co/lNvRt70v43

— Grant Rodiek (@SimGuruGrant) May 26, 2018

We haven't done the lounge chair yet. We know it's on your list of things to make. 🙂 https://t.co/lrbf6hPyhY

— Grant Rodiek (@SimGuruGrant) May 26, 2018

Guys. We aren't done. I'm literally working with the team RIGHT NOW for YEARS out. Stop. Saying. We're. Done. We. Aren't. ❤️

I mean, just think of the stuff we haven't made that we know you want! https://t.co/h0WTdeibSf

— Grant Rodiek (@SimGuruGrant) May 26, 2018

@SimGuruGrant Any new moodlets with Seasons? (wish list: clothes affecting moodlets for weather related things)

— Sam Haine (@Machine1k) May 25, 2018

Right now we use Moodlets as a fairly standard feedback mechanism (using game design terminology), so yes. https://t.co/HCer7N6dqs

— Grant Rodiek (@SimGuruGrant) May 26, 2018

So, winter is obviously great. But, I was really delighted how much the team invested in Summer this time. The kiddie pool is ADORABLE. https://t.co/wFcmD9zAsl

— Grant Rodiek (@SimGuruGrant) May 26, 2018

We have not added additional functionality to elevators. In talking to some wheelchair bound simmers the other day, it struck me that, if we can do an update for Sims in wheelchairs, enhancing elevators there makes so much sense. https://t.co/FQyunPOmoZ

— Grant Rodiek (@SimGuruGrant) May 26, 2018

I love occult sims/ life states in TS4 too. I love play with then, and i would want to know if there's a new life state/occult sim in Seasons EP

— Daniel Romanini (@daniel_willyan) May 26, 2018

Sorta. https://t.co/Z8pv150eMg

— Grant Rodiek (@SimGuruGrant) May 26, 2018

@SimGuruGrant @SimGuruKate there's a new life state/occult sim in Seasons EP? Please, say yes, please, say yes!

— Daniel Romanini (@daniel_willyan) May 26, 2018

Not in the way you guys think, which is why I said sorta. https://t.co/iw5SZpAbfw

— Grant Rodiek (@SimGuruGrant) May 26, 2018

We did not update Plant Sims. https://t.co/QA00WBX7gs

— Grant Rodiek (@SimGuruGrant) May 26, 2018

We have not made picnic baskets yet. https://t.co/FRqr6UR33s

— Grant Rodiek (@SimGuruGrant) May 26, 2018

Does seasons include online dating?

— Harleyquinn (@HarleyQuinn737) May 26, 2018

No, but I've wanted this feature since City Living. https://t.co/AheoKFKAZ2
