I honestly don't see the problem with different seasons on different lots. If you do have to have different clothes for different temperatures, maybe that goes with CAS. When it's summer your sim's "Everyday/Casual 1" clothing could automatically switch to whatever you had chosen for hot weather. That way, if it's Summer at Mary's house and winter at John's house, when John invites Mary over, she'll come in her winter clothes. It's basically like that already - if Mary was in her undies when you saved her lot last, she's not going to come to John's house in her undies. I don't think adding a few more clothing options for CAS would be too much of a problem, considering everything they added for Pets. I know they have objects and mods that add weather already, but that's only working with what we've got now. Anything you can do, Maxis can do better :] Not to say some of the modders here, aren't amazing, - they are. But it's their game. They haven't let me down yet, and I wasn't expecting as much as we got from Pets. Seasons could mean more than just weather. It could mean holidays - which I know we have to some extent in the stuff packs - it could mean snow days for your kids, new jobs, obviously new clothing and items. I think it'll turn out quite well.
As for the possibility of a movie making EP - as much as I like seeing new ideas that weren't used in TS1, I think something like Superstar would be cool, but instead of going back and forth between singer/actor/model you could choose one area, and even if you got really high up in some base careers you could be somewhat famous. However, I doubt it'll happen. I think I'm in the minority there.
Another thing I just thought of.. since there would be seasons, there would actually be a cycle, somewhat of a "sim year." Which could mean that married sims now get anniversaries.
