I've done a lot of searching but I can't seem to find anyone else who's had the problem I'm having. =P
Anyway, I just got the Seasons expansion pack and my Sims seem to be unable to do some things, such as have a snowball fight, give gifts, have water balloon fights, etc. I created two brand-new Sims, built up their relationship to 100 without any cheats or hacks, but I can never make them give each other gifts, play catch, or have snowball/water balloon fights. I waited until it had snowed deep enough to make snowmen, put them in outerwear and outside, but nothing would work.
They can catch butterflies/fireflies, go fishing, plant/grow/harvest gardens, tend trees, go skating, and seemingly all the other new interactions that came with Seasons. Why, then, can I not have them play catch, snowball or water balloon fight, or give gifts?
In case it's relevant, I have the base game, Nightlife, Pets, University, and Seasons.
