And the snow and the different height for the Sims were discarded from base game
The Sims 2/Prerelease article for Late 2003 on TCRF described theses from a September 20, 2003 chat on WorldSims.org.
Here's a link to the chat room itself:
https://web.archive.org/web/20031002081227/http://www.worldsims.org/modules.php?name=Content&pa=showpage&pid=17
Here are the theses from the chat that are on TCRF:
A chat was held exclusively on September 20, 2003 with one of the Maxis developers.
When asked if pool water was transparent, the developer was doubtful about the question, though it could be referring to hot tubs.
It was confirmed that there would be other types of weather than just rain, including snow and lightning. Neither of those would appear until Seasons.
It is confirmed that there will be more than one neighborhood.
Create-A-Sim originally had a feature for altering height of the Sims.
When asked about the potential feature of Sims communicating with Sims from other neighborhoods, the idea has yet to be concevied, but it may have been reworked into Sub-Neighborhoods in expansion packs.
Lightning death was originally present in the base game, as opposed to shocking the Sim.
It was mentioned that there would be custom tools coming in "Fall 2003/Winter 2004", where it would have "floor and wall editors, object creation program and skinning".
It was confirmed that Sims cannot visit others' houses.
Except that those who answered the questions were not developers of The Sims 2.
Callan, one of those who answered questions is the owner of The Sims 2 Resource:
Van De Graff (Sep 20, 2003 2:41:34 PM)
Who is Callan ? maxis ?
ManagerJosh (Sep 20, 2003 2:41:34 PM)
Owner of The Sims 2 Resource
ManagerJosh - from WorldSims.org.
Most likely they knew this information from the developers of The Sims 2 themselves, because what is in the game and what is not in it coincides with the information in the chat and with theses on TCRF.
What the snow looked like during the development of The Sims 2:
From the possibility of altering height of the sims a cheat code left only, which, by the way, exists only in The Sims 2:
StretchSkeleton [number] — value from 0.01 to 30
And a field in the sim data that is visible in SIMPE:

And in theses were confirmed that Sims cannot visit others' houses.

Howdy :) Here's what I've been working on for the past uh— three months. Yes, it took a while.
I can't tell you what got me into Bishop after all this time. Maybe it's the fact that he's ready to throw hands with everything that breaths in his vicinity. Or maybe it's the absolutely deranged plan that led to him running around in a supersuit.
Whatever that may look like. You might have noticed just how incredibly inconsistent the cybernetics are. This man has more accessories than Barbie smh
So of course I had to draw it. This started off as a little experiment to see if I could color in some other way. I can, it takes ages. But I'm happy with how it turned out. The suit is as it appears in the episodes where Bishop is let out of his enclosure to wrestle some demons.
Expect to see more of him. I will venture in my WIPs folder again one of these days.

Rynny’s Age Gap
Ryan, completely unprompted: Sometimes, I forget how young you are.
Johnny, just trying to relax on his bed, throwing down his phone: For the gods’ sake, I'm only four months and five days younger than you Ryan!!
Ryan, teasingly: Oh look, you're getting cranky. You haven't had your juice yet, have you?
Johnny: Well, my straw broke off in the carton so, I couldn’t- hey hold up, that’s so not the bloody point!
Ryan: *straight up cackling*
Johnny, glaring at him: You’re a tosser.
Ryan, still snickering: And yet, you love me anyway.
