As usual I totally agree with his review.
I must say this EP is somewhat lacking in interactions and new objects and reminds me a bit of Generations. But it doesn’t matter! Having weather makes up for it, especially considering that most stuff from TS2 Seasons like gardening was already included in the base game.
The game is so full of small details like seeing sims breath when it’s cold or the lovely snow, that it’s worth for that alone! Winter is simply amazing!
Now I must say that while the game feels more complete and varied now I really hope new expansion packs focus more on making interactions and gameplay mechanics more complex. I hope University brings more options like new traits, being able to have more traits per sim, a better romance system, etc.
The romance system now is better than the one in the base game, but it is still awful. Sims get attracted for no reason, even if they’re married! I’m sure EA will fix that eventually, but that’s basically what’s missing now from the game. More complex game mechanics… I can’t wait to be able to run my own business and have a restaurant and make the waiters dress like hotdogs!
Oh and yes, the game needs more chairs! Lots of chairs!
