No seasons is their biggest shame. I honestly kinda wish they didn't do the snow DLC at all if they weren't going to do it right.

Honestly I'd rather have the eternal snow maps over nothing. I love building on a snow map in the winter times of the year and they still look great. Ofc seasons would be better, but when that isn't possible I still very much enjoy the winter maps. If anything I would say they should have done a better job making it clear that Snowfall wasn't seasons, because it wasn't that clear and that causes more disappointment.

I would have liked seasons as much as anyone, but the winter parks wouldn't be much use in the summer time. :)

I think the reason is all these tools people talk about. It would be nice if there were maps that could be seasonal and have snow only part of the time. It would make snow, in particular, more popular.

I dont actually think seasonal maps would actually be any more popular?
I mean its a cool concept and everything but look at the maps that are popular, alot of them are specific, use this theme/colour correction so it looks like a specific time of day
carefully placing trees, so they look right for the setting, but placing them so they look right in all seasons?
Seasons would be a cool thing, but I kind of feel map makers would make even less maps for them they do they for snowfall?
