Well here I sit, better than two weeks into the release of Seasons, and I am making odd little discoveries left and right. One of which may bear some serious study. It seems that a sim can indeed freeze to death in a custom CAS! that has been edited in Seasons. That bodes ill for us lovers of custom CAS! lots.

So far I have reports of other deaths, but I haven't been able to confirm lightning strikes or heat strokes. But it is pretty catastrophic for the game too. Crashes the game to the desktop every time. I will try to grab a screen capture the next time I am in game >_<

It also seems that the lot exporter has a variable bug that may or may not include recolours, custom content, or what-not. It seems to follow no pattern and may work perfectly well for some people. It certainly has taken the shine off this EP for me to discover these bugs that obviously point to some neglect in the QA testing (again).

On to brighter news, everytime I run The Sims (tm) Life Stories I am more in love with that game. It seems to capture everything that I was missing in so many subtle ways. I have to agree with daydream58 about SLS, "I'm more of a Life Stories fan after one day than I ever was a true Sims 2 fan." - - That says a lot when you consider I have been modding and creating custom content for both The Sims and The Sims 2 for a sum of 7 years LOL

My rating for SLS is now approaching 10 from its original 5, whereas Seasons has dropped to 6 from a previous 7.5 - if the lads at EA can turn out a bug-fix in a timely fashion, Seasons may pull back up, but that all depends on the lads at EA. Let's all hope John Riccitiello cracks the whip on the bug-fix as hard as his predecessor cracked the whip on getting this out to market with the bugs!
