The main addition this expansion offers is well, seasons. Gameplay-wise, the new gardening aspect isn't exactly too impressive, and the idea that your sims have a temperature meter is interesting in that you can monitor your sims' health a bit easier. Ultimately, Seasons offer different looks to your neighborhood so you have a better sense of time as seasons come and go.
I'm sorry to say it is a little slow on my computer but it's worth it. A great way to do this is to get the weather machine in the rewards objects and have your sim create a snow storm. also there's a new game play where your sims can put the leftovers of their meals back into the fridge for another date. I waited forever for this game. Hint: If you use the cheat "boolprop testingcheats enabled" you can right click or control click on your plants and make them grow full ripe produce in seconds, which incredibly helpful seeing that they take forever to develop fully.The other season effects are also great, your sims can fish and stock their fridge in fall, summer and spring. This is really nice for small families.Be very careful of the weather effects. IN winter your sim's can freeze in just minutes, be sure to watch their temperatures.
Another cool object is the juicer. The effects are great, in winter it snows, and your sim children sometimes get snowdays, and are allowed to stay home or catch up on homework. using the different produce your sims grow in their new green houses, you can make juices that give your sims skill points or boost their energy. In summer they can combust and just burst into flames, or they can be hit by lightning while in the pool or hot tub, during a rain shower.Over all the game is great.
Bright, hot, blistering weather good for splashing around in the pool. You can have a special "outerwear" for the winter, and you can set certain hair styles for certain outfits (formal, outerwear, etc). From snow, to rain to a blistering hot day your Sims will never be bored and will always be facing some surprising circumstances. That's an obvious one, but instead of being stuck in a seemingly always green and summery world your Sims have the options to experience Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter. + The weather changes. It's not too hard a problem to resolve, however.- As with overheating, they can get really cold especially if they don't have the appropriate outerwear on too.
Cons:- Your Sims sometimes over heat easily, and this can lead to death. then Seasons is definitely for you. If you're bored of The Sims 2 because it seems to shift in circles of the same routine, over and over again with the exception of a few changes (different families, different jobs, etc). You're getting this review from the point of view of a 16 year old who's played the Sims games since pretty much the dawn of time (I jest, but you know what I mean) and I'll list you the pros and cons below. Still, it's a fantastic and well done game. The seasons not only add many different climates but the weather actually changes.
which is great when you don't want to manually change your Sim's hair for their wedding day or something. This also results in death if left untreated for too long.- I've heard of lightening striking Sims dead, etc, but haven't encountered this yet so far so I think as long as your Sims are inside on a rainy day they'll be sure to avoid this.At any rate, these are the things that really stand out for me and the pros way outshine the cons as you can see for yourself. Well now your Sims can have all this.+ Fun new activities include: snow angels, snowball fights, ice skating in the winter time, gardening/fishing in the summer and spring, harvesting your crops for meals and for special juices that cool down your Sims and fresh hot chocolate to warm them up after a cold day outside plus many many more cool features.+ The ability to put your left over meals away, so nothing goes to waste and your Sim can have that delicious dish later.+ You can set different clothes for different types of weather. Have you ever wished to see snow fall and wonder on your Sims' faces at the first snow of the season. Pros:+ The seasons. How about experience a random rain storm.
I'd definitely recommend this game and I'd give it a full 5 stars each way but like all Sims games it does get old and a little repetitive after a while or for a short period of time until you find yourself itching to play again.
I haven't gotten to play Seasons much, but so far I like it. My favorite reaction so far is when the Sim gets cold & wants to go jump in the pool.
Best expansion pack I have for the sims, I even think it is better than open for business. I suggest that if you are a sim lover you should get this game, because its just pure fun.
