A summary of all said in the chat
You can call the Garden Club....if the phone works...
Sims will get randomly assigned outerwear (if they're already in-game)
I think I'll post all the stuff in this post, just to make a nice summary for you all.
FYI, Everyone: Sub-hoods will have the same seasons as main hoods.
ETA: There will be a sunlamp for vampire plant people.
New death - Lightning.
People asked - seasons changing will be 'pleasantly procedural'
Pools won't freeze in winter - they're heated.
Seasons ARE like time - independant on each lot.
If you're interested, Children can also fish...
Fish will appear automatically in any pond 'that's big enough'
There's a limit of 8 people on a snowball fight
You would turn off seasons by having all four as summer.
Sims are more likely to get ill in winter...yet another old wives' tale perpetuated.
Sims can be killed by hail.
The neighbourhood screen will have the same season as the last lot you exited.
A new cheat - make fireflies live forever
The penguin will eat your fish and talk to your snowmen, but you can't have him as a pet..
Toddlers will eat snow!
Veg. stores are teh awesomeness.
Weather will show whatever graphics you have - it'll just look bad if you have bad ones.
Sims can't get out without a ladder...still.
You can have sprinklers, for lazy sims.
Gah - I thought we might have a new roof type form the designer walkthrough. But, no, the barn is a neighbourhood decoration.
Evil mascots catching butterflies are really funny.
We have a hot cocoa machine
Your sim can live in a greenhouse.
The cons of the wishing well are hilarious...
There are more deaths, apparently...
I wonder if this is aside from freezing, boiling, lightning and hail...
Yay! Greenhouses on the side of houses!
*squee* Earmuffs!
There's also a weather channel.
Snow doesn't destroy vegetable plots. Though, when does it anyway...
Jam Band and New Age are the new radio stations.
It will rain in summer, but not as much as in Spring.
The money tree won't get soggy.
There's tiki wallpaper..does this imply a new theme?
Roof Sculptures!!
Hot dogs won't be covered by snow
Awnings will protect your sim from rain and hail...(duh!)
Europe's still DVD only.
Roths and Goths - ask Bella...?
Ooh, spiral stairs, not yet...But still! That means they'll have them.
Gardeners will water your veg, but not harvest it.
The weather can possibly ruin a party - somewhat enigmatic on that point. But sims will react to it.
The adventurer and gamer careers are really fun...
Maxoid LittleL likes automatic bills
Et Voila!
