Download Seasons Tuner v1.05 - Disable Seasons Features & Weather
My mods are kept compatible with the latest patches and do not break frequently. To see which mods need updated check my Mod Status and Links Post where you can also find support.
v1.05 Nuisance Errors - June 25, 2026
Fixed another bug with modded or EA plants that could cause the mod to throw an LE.
v1.04 Nuisance Errors - March 20, 2026
Some plants seem to be missing a property that causes the mod to throw an error, so I've stopped that error coming up. This has happened with any CC and sometimes even EA plants, so we'll just make the mod a bit less annoying when combined with MCCC/BE.
v1.03 Critical Fix - August 19, 2025
Fixed a crash on startup due to the release of the pack selector tool patch.
Update 1.02 - March 6, 2024:
Fixed all tunings so that no packs are required for any specific functionality.
Update 1.01 - December 28, 2023:
Fixed a bug that would prevent creation of Residential Rentals in Newcrest.
Update 0.42 - January 11, 2022:
Thanks to a member who gave me a most-excellent save file I think I may have fixed a nasty issue where a beebox could mistakenly believe it's a plant. They even grew, wow! Not exactly what we want, is it.
Update 0.41 - January 8, 2022:
Fertilize All is now available on giant crops!
Update 0.4 - December 28, 2021:
Fertilize All is a new ability on all plants. THIS IS NOT A CHEAT. Your Sim must still spend the time doing it. Select an item stack with the picker (as you normally would) and it will continue using that item until it runs out. Automatically finds the closest plants and continues using items of that type!
Evolve all is also available and will save you a TON of clicking. All plants will evolve at once with this ability.
DO NOT INSTALL FERTILIZE ALL WITH THIS MOD YOU WILL BREAK BOTH
Update 0.32 - December 25, 2021:
This update fixes some issues that can occur when skipping seasons and a couple other bugs.
Update 0.31:
This update fixes the dirt piles issue from Eco Lifestyle. Hopefully plants won't go back to dirt. Thanks to Bienchen (modder) who made a detailed post on the why's of the issue I think I fixed it.
Update 0.3:
The new update makes it much more reliable when shifting seasons regarding plants. I've fixed at least 3 bugs. It also allows you to set plants to Always In-Season without reloading or travel!
About Seasons Tuner:
This mod is something I have always wanted to have. The Sims 4 Seasons is the only pack I disable, because having weather on is a matter of taste and sometimes I do not want it to interfere with my gameplay. EA didn't offer enough settings. When I disable Seasons, I lose things I love like Bee Boxes or Scouting for children. Maybe I want my plants to grow year-round or stop looking ugly in Winter. This is not going to be a problem any longer. With the cheats in my Seasons Tuner, you can now disable features and seasons individually to suit your taste and have those changes persist across save games.
Disable Seasons individually
Always Sunny! set to base game weather
Grow Year Round - Make plants always in season! Bee boxes, too!
Healthy Year Round - No more Winter Twigs
Disable Color Changes - Plants stay the same year round.
Disable Fall Leaves
Disable Ground Snow
Keep the Stuff You Paid For!
Clothes, objects, build mode items, skills and careers will still be there, just not the things you don't want.
Always On - Set it up and changes stay when you restart
USAGE: Click the mailbox to get options, or use cheats that are listed below. You can disable up to 3 seasons. You only need to know two cheats by heart. Carl.MakeSunny will instantly make the world sunny, even from build mode.. Carl.ResetSeasons will put all settings to default, or you can delete the config file. Also you can Shift-Click the ground with TestingCheats On to find an instant Make Sunny Cheat. I chose not to use the mailbox so that you can use it everywhere.
The commands below are used by the mod. I'm providing them just in case they may be handy.
If you do not know how to cheat in Sims 4, see my handy guide to cheating.
With the console open type the following commands. I am not endlessly repeating on and off here. They all end in on or off and every single one of the commands has both. Some of these require a restart or travel, but the changes will still be there when you restart.
Carl.SpringOff Carl.SummerOff Carl.FallOff Carl.WinterOff - disable Spring, Summer, Fall, or Winter.
Carl.SpringOn Carl.SummerOn Carl.FallOn Carl.WinterOn - re-enable Spring, Summer, Fall, or Winter.
Carl.InSeasonOn - Makes plants always be in-season. May require restart or travel.
Carl.AlwaysSunnyOn - This will change all weather in the game to be sunny and warm.
Carl.AlwaysHealthyOn - Prevents plants from withering to twigs during Winter.
Carl.ColorChangesOff - Stops plants and trees from changing color.
Carl.GroundLeavesOff - Stops leaves from appearing on the ground in Fall.
Carl.GroundSnowOff - Stops snow accumulating on the ground.
Carl.ResetSeasons - This will reset ALL the settings for you.
If you want to try, you can also alter these settings in Carls-SeasonsSettings.ini which will appear in your mods folder alongside the mod after you first start the game. Simply replace each with true/false, configure the game how you want and HAVE FUN!
Which ever way you use it, my mod will allow you to configure seasons settings to your preference within a few short minutes for permanent enjoyment.
Note: Evolve all does not count toward the gardening aspiration. So use regular evolve on that stage to get past it, then you can safely use evolve all.
DO NOT INSTALL MY FERTILIZE ALL MOD WITH THIS ONE YOU WILL BREAK BOTH. ALL FUNCTIONS ARE IN SEASONS TUNER BY DEFAULT

It would be perfect and amazing if this mod let you choose the phase of the seasons or change the condition of the plants/trees. As of now you have to fiddle with cheats that jump time around.
Hi there. This doesn't appear to be working after the patch. It's winter in my game and everything looks dead. Just an FYI.
I keep getting error reports that this mod is crashing or pausing my game, please update when you get a chance :)
please update if possible!
Hi! I am not sure if anyone else is having any issues, but I found that I cannot load into a lot since installing the newest pack when I have Seasons Tuner in my mod folder. I just wanted to bring it up just in case!
Thank you so much for the update! This is one of my "must have" mods
Hello. I've turned on healthy year round but it doesn't work. I checked the ini and t's set correctly . I even tried with only the seasons tuner mod installed. Is it broken?
OMG thank you! I've been wanting a way to make spring plants look like summer plants forever!
The mod doesn't need an update right now. I think people assume it's broken just because it hasn't needed updating in a while. Not every mod breaks folks. It works well for me still. Any errors could be mod incompatibilities or badly set up CC plants. When I made this mod I made custom interactions with code that is careful about not throwing out a ton of errors. It is fundamentally the same as the first day I released it as EA has not made changes to how plants work in such a significant way as to break the mod. I try very hard to future-proof any mod I make.
If you encounter a problem feel free to use the links all over my mod posts to get to my server and share any LE's you receive. This will help us improve things or at least help you figure out why it's not working.
again this keeps on coming up as an exception feb 2025
This is possibly a mod incompatibility. could you join the discord and share the exception with me there? https://discord.gg/T42gU4bNBM
Is this mod going to be updated at all?
It is no longer working for me and no exceptions came up
I so appreciate this mod!
Does this need an update?
No response in 2 months? That's not a good sign.
this is what exceptions caught hope it helps

Carl sorry to bother you this needs updating again
Hi Carl! I used your guides religiously for my Sims 3 phase and recently got back into Sims 4 and was so pleased to find that not only are you still going with Sims 4 Guides, but you've got a whole suite of awesome mods! Just installed a bunch, many thanks in advance for refining and enhancing my game! :D Just wanted to let you know I discovered a small bug, the Residential Rental mailbox doesn't provide the Seasons Settings... menu option. It shows Make Sunny and Carl Settings... menu from GO, but I had to go grab a regular mailbox from BB to access the Seasons Settings... menu. Thanks so much for your tireless efforts, you rock!!!
I am having an issue. My settings are set for "Always Healthy" and "No Color Changes." My plants still turn to twigs outside. They are fine in a greenhouse, but as soon as I move a plant outside, even if it's still sheltered, it turns to twigs. I was running this with Little Miss Sam's workaround for the plants turning to dirt piles and everything was working until recently. I've tried turning Eco footprint off--didn't work. Even with no mods except this one, and with "Always in Season" turned on, my plants remain brown and/or twigs. In season and out-of-season plants are affected. Am I missing something? I even deleted and re-downloaded the mod just in case my version was outdated.
So happy this exists! These don’t seem to be working for me when I enter them into my cheat console. I’m playing on a ps5. Anything need to be entered differently?
These cheats are part of the mod, not the game itself. You need the mod installed for them to work, but unfortunately you can't have mods on console.
evolve all doesnt work, still have to go to each plant and do it, I checked to make sure i didnt have any other plant related mods and that I didnt have your Fertilize all/evolve all mod as well. And I checked for conflicting mods, and none showed up.
Wow thank you for the update and I got the message about this being all in 1
Yeah I'm having this issue with it breaking the for rent lots. I had taken out all mods and the last one I re-installed and the option to mark a lot as Residential Rental is missing in my game.
Yeah didn't realise till after I commented, with the mod the option for residential rentals is no longer there as well.
Hi, Just a heads up this mod breaks the Residential Rental venue type with the new expansion. I am not sure why, but after testing when it is installed it prevents you from being able to change a lot (that has been converted from a residential lot to a rental lot) back to a residential lot, as the lot is stuck as ‘Special Venue’ type. Similar mods such as Littliemisssims more buyable venues lot also break the game in this way. Love the mods btw!
Thanks! Not sure how Seasons Tuner might be doing that, but I'll have a look tomorrow!
that still happens to me. I genuinely forgot what mod I have installed that allows me to just shift click on the plant and I force it back to bloom and then just have my sim stay at home till the next morning to be able to harvest. It's annoying but ut's my work around.
Hi Carl, I still seem to have the plants/trees returning to soil patches for some reason? Not sure if this is linked to the MOD or a game issue? Have you seen anyone else report this bug? I know EA said they'd fixed it, but I still seem to have it, even after repairing the game.. I have all packs, expansions etc. Any help greatly appreciated thank you :)
It's a persisting issue, in game, unrelated to the Season's tuner mod.
Hiya, I was wondering if this has been updated. I can set it to always Sunny, but it will not let me turn it off, or turn anything else on. I Like it to be always sunny, until Winter, and then I like the snow and blizzards, but it will not turn back on. I don't think I have any other mod that affects the weather.
Hi! I've noticed that I can't place certain lot types like Rec Center, BubbleTea Store or Wedding Venue, and I've tracked the issue back to this mod. Not sure what caused it, but... yeah. I thought I'd let you know. I've been relying a lot on this mod, so it's a shame because I can't use it as of now.
Interesting! I am not sure how this could happen but I will have a look and let you know something.
Mine is working ok as long as i use lilmssams mod along with it that keeps things from reverting back but I do get LE's. with this mod showing as the cause but not sure if it is because of the mod or if it is conflicting with lilmssams mod.
I'm still using this mod, but my plants are reverting to dirt piles again as if not in season, even though I've selected in Season. Not sure if this is due to the recent updates (been going on a while now), or if another mod is affecting it.
That's a game bug that's been around for a while. Try LittleMsSam's Gardening Workaround Fix.
Has anybody tested this one with the new patch? I may give it a go since I really like having it.
I gave it a go and it's kind of working for me. The plants grow all year around and the fertilize all worked, but I can't plant, water, or harvest without clicking on each individual plant. I haven't tried to adjust any seasons settings so I don't know about those. Evolve all is also working. I know that another person's mod has been updated, but I really prefer this one, even if it's not working exactly as intended. I can no longer live without fertilize all and evolve all. lol I haven't thoroughly tested this mod with others to see if something else is causing the issue, but I don't have any other gardening mods in my game so I don't think it's likely. Then again, I'm not a modder so what do I know?
Hey Carl. Hope you're doing ok. "Always in season" is unfortunately not working 100%. It did until I changed gameplay settings in MCCC to slow down the day by 25 instead of 35 (or was it 35 to 25). I deleted seasons tuner mod in case it got broken because of this change, changed back MCCC time settings to default, and reinstalled seasons tuner, but the problem is still there. The plants states they're always in season but clearly they are not all in season all the time as some turn into dirt piles as they do when not in season. Also, the calendar is weird but I think that is because of MCCC? I deleted this mod as well and reinstalled but it did not change anything. Cottage living fairs which should be every saturday is now pushed to once a week or every 10 days. Have you countered anything like this? Or anyone else? Be happy to hear from you. Oh, and I have checked that I got the latest mods. All the best
Hey Carl. It seems since the latest patch, seasons tuner stopped working and is throwing an exception. Tested with Seasons Tuner only. Exception is too long to paste here, so I will send it over on Discord.
Where on discord?
Hi Carl, I was wondering if there was a way to the evolve all work on the vertical planters. Thank you for all you do.
Does this still work for the 1.91 patch?
I want to try out this mod because I have been looking for variable season length so I am wondering if I can achieve that with this. Basically I want fall, winter and spring to last 7 days (my default setting) and summer to last 14 days. Will that be possible with this mod? Can I turn off fall until day 14 of summer and then turn it back on and not need to restart my game to have it take effect?
This mod doesn't allow the free will of my sims and also the npc is not working.
For me to help, you need to give me a bit more info. This is a seasons changing/tuning mod so if it is messing with your Sims' free will, it'd be very strange. It doesn't mean something can't go wrong, but it's just not easy for me to tell how. I'm not sure which NPC you mean as well.
I can't get this mod to work at all. I have downloaded both files but there are no settings availble when I click on the letter box. I have got testing cheats on and script mods on as well
Hi Alyse, I have worked to get my mods into zips over time because some of them get corrupted during download due to some wacky shit the browser does to them. Is it possible you can try right-clicking the files and using save as, so that they will not be modified... and in the next couple days I'll try to get these moved over to zips :)
May I ask, would it be possible for the always sunny to not include it to always be warm? I live were there are plenty of cold and or cool days while sunny. If it is not possible no worries, just inquiring. Thank you for this fantastic mod and your prolific guides!
Hi Carl! I wanted to let you know that I got a last exemption with the seasons tuner. I was told on the SimsAfterDark discord to remove the mod and report the exemption to you. Where do I send you the exemption report?
carl@carlsguides.com
Hi Carl, I love your mods and your website has been my go to since Sims 2! I just wondered if you could/would consider adding in a way to disable random spawning of roller rinks and food vendors in worlds? I believe this is part of Seasons. I hate it! It makes playing a History challenge nigh impossible because my Celtic sims shouldn't be roller skating and eating hot dogs. Thanks for all you do for the Sims community!
I just came back here from another comment and had missed this one. Yes, I want to do this! I want to also disable a bunch of notifications too.
Hi Carl, I just had to say thank you very much, you're genius mods are a godsend. I joined your Patreon so I can get all your mods. Again, thanks so much for sharing with us!
Hi Carl thank you this mod is amazing & has really improved gameplay for me :) Just wondering, does having 'In Season always on' affect plants in shelters? I have plants under shelter that aren't growing - they're ones that were 'out of season' before I enabled your mod setting. Hope this makes sense - I guess I'm asking, we don't need shelters at all now do we with your mod..?
Dirt pile fix and being able to disable seasons and branchy trees are godsends. And the DU bot fix. I made a farm fully intending to be automated by bots, but they literally just did nothing. Really excited to see if this fixed that.
Kinda silly question here. :) When there's an update listed on this post does that mean the files on this post are the updated versions?
yep they are
Hey Carl, quick question: Whenever I choose the "Make Sunny" option (for holidays or other planned outdoor activities), the weather seems to be stuck on sunny forever, no matter how often I turn the option off again via mailbox. Even after reloading the save. Am I doing something wrong here?
Try deleting your localthumbcache.package file and it should fix the issue
Thank you for specifying mod conflicts, many other modders don't do this and then yell at us for not knowing!
Thank you, Carl!
That you know of, does this mod conflict with any other mods aside from your fertalize all and evolve all mod?
The only other Mods I have installed are the UI cheats extension one and Deaderpools MCC one. Thanks for replying though.
Just so everyone knows, me and Tee Jay got it sorted out and it's why there is a new update today. Your bee boxes won't grow like plants any more. I hope!
Hi Carl, After installing this MOD I've noticed that my bee box has stopped working. No matter how many times I "bond with bees" the bar never goes any higher so I can't collect honey or collect swarm. Also, I've sat and watched both the bee box & my crops & the bees never go out & pollinate my surrounding plants. I LOVE the fertilize all option & the evolve all so I want to keep using this but anyone else having problem with their bee boxes?
Hey there. You could try to help me a bit - 3 things you can send me. Any lastexceptions in your Sims 4 folder then in Sims 4/Mods you can attach seasons_tuner.log. Lastly you could send me your save file. Send as many as you can to carl@carlsguides.com and I'll take a look. I am hoping it's not just a mod conflict and also hope you have both files/script mods enabled in options. Just a check, not to be patronizing just gotta go with the most obvious first.
I have MC Command and a few Little Ms Sams in there, UI Cheats by Weerbesu and thats about it. I have never seen plants say anything but normal, nice, excellent etc until now, but I will do some investigating on my end and let you know the outcome. If I get the same results with just your mod I will indeed send you the results, thanks for the reply. :)
Hi Carl, great mods you are producing now. Just a quick question. Since installing the Seasons Mod, my plants now begin at frail quality when before they were normal, is this a conflict or is it supposed to be this way?
I'll have a look!
This is amazing. Thank you.
when i have always in season and always healthy cheats on, the plants get planted then slowly fade away. my sim repeats doing the planting on a loop. i also dont have the options on my mailbox either
Thanks I am working on a fix right now!!
Is there something special I need to do to active it? I have installed it into my mods folder and it shows up in the Mods list in the game, but I can't see anything when clicking on the ground or mailbox?
I, too, am having this issue. Just installed it 1/3/22.
Hello, my evolve all or fertilize all does not work either. Do we need to have something activated besides the testing cheats? Is there a special mailbox we need to use? Any conflicting mods?
I don't mind but I have no idea how....
Hi Carl, no Fertilize All option for me, either (Happy New Year, btw)
Anita - you have Seasons? I'm really not sure what's at the bottom of this but need to find a common thread.
Also having this issue. Sim is almost max gardening but no option to fertilize or evolve all
Thanks Pans, I'll have a look today and tomorrow to see if I can find what's wrong. Could you send your save to me? carl@carlsguides.com
Hi! I've downloaded the seasons tuner/script, but the evolve all and fertilize all options are not showing up for me?
Hello are you playing in another language because I wonder if it is the issue I just fixed with strings where certain languages were not appearing I just re-uploaded the file. Are the season settings there on the mailbox?
I was looking to see if you had a guide/walkthrough to completing Cottage Living errands and ran across this mod. The "make sunny" I will use instantly for those tech festivals where it rains ALWAYS and for keeping plants in season whenever I want them. Thank you!
I was saying how much I could delete winter from my game! Supposed to be our ideal world and I hate winter!! Thanks so so so so so much for making my Sim dreams come true!!
Yes!!! The only reason I don't play seasons is because of those annoying leaves that never leaves the grounds!! Thank you for this!!!!! Excellent Job!!!
Thank you for this mod, since I like gardening in my game. This saves me from disposing my dead plants. You're the best.
