Q: My seeds keep disappearing?!

A: You are seeding in the wrong season. You can look in the Seasons menu when you can seed each product. This is based on real life situations.

Q: Why is snow limited to 6cm (1 layer)?

A: Snow is a swath. You can handle it with any bucket you would be able to use on grass. Because of the Tip Anywhere functionality, there is this new feature called the TipCol. This is a way for map developers to decide where swaths can't be placed. Good places are inside buildings, or on roads that are made of models. (The swaths would not be able to be cleaned up by machinery because the road is in the way). This technique is also present in Goldcrest Valley (it is why you can't tup on the road).

We can't use this TipCol (for performance and technical reasons), so we place snow everywhere. This will sadly cause a lot of ploblems on roads where it can't be cleared by a snowplough. So we added a way for map makers to tell us where we can and can't place snow. As long as the map does not tell us this, we will keep the snow till a minumum, which is 1 layer (6cm).

If you want more fun with more snow, ask you mod-map maker to update his or her map for Seasons.
