Seasons is great fun August 7, 2008
Seasons is the third expansion pack I have purchased and my favorite by far, even more than Nightlife. It adds so much to the game - you get four seasons and they are relatively realistic. When the season changes over to fall or winter you can actually hear a hollow wind blowing, which adds to the illusion that the weather is starting to cool off. In the fall your Sims wants will begin to revolve around skill building, which makes it a great time for moving up in their chosen career tracks. In the winter your Sims will crave interaction with family - this is a great time to work on family relationships. You also get snow, which is just great. The snow is gorgeous and gradually accumulates. Once you get enough snow, you can send your Sims outside to build a snowman or make a snow angel. If your Sim gets too cold she or he will literally freeze and fall over. You must then get someone in the household to "warm" them up, which is done by using a hair dryer that the family member pulls from their pocket lol. Once the Sim thaws out they will be a bluish-gray color until you get their temperature meter back to green. A great way to warm your cold Sims up is by getting them to drink hot chocolate or by giving them a hot bubble bath.
In the spring there is rain, lots of it. You get hail sometimes too although I've had it maybe three times in my game so far. I like how the weather stays chilly well into the spring season, just like in real life. In fact my Sims will automatically change into coats and mittens before heading outdoors right up until the first day of summer. Spring is also a great time to start growing fuit and veggies, if you enjoy gardening. You can also start working on your harvest trees, which will produce fruit, the quality of which will depend on how well your Sim tends to the trees (same goes for the garden). If you like to garden year round, build a greenhouse - having a greenhouse will also prevent the bug issue. If your plants and trees are outside you have to spray them every so often and spraying too much can lead to you ending up with a Plant Sim ;)
Summer is actually my least favorite season because there isn't much variation with it - your days are sunny and that's pretty much it. You get an occasional rain shower. It'd be nice if child Sims got the summer off from school.
New interactions include water balloon fights, playing catch and catching butterflies or fireflies. You can make a pool with curved sides and there are pool slides now. Your Sims can play Marco Polo in the water.
Sims can also fish and the better they get at it the more bait choices they get. You start off being able to fish using a worm as bait.
Your Sims can overheat and I found that they seem to overheat much quicker than they freeze. Make sure they are dressed properly when they are outdoors. If your Sim is in long sleeves and pants in the summer and he starts playing catch, he will overheat very quickly. One thing i thought was cute - if your Sim is making out with another Sim outdoors, he/she will "overheat". The temprature meter turns red. As soon as they stop kissing and go inside it goes back to normal haha.
You can make juices with the veggies and fruits your grow and some of them have benefits such as giving your Sim a random skill point or making teen Sims finish homework faster. You can cook the fish that you catch or hang it on the wall. One new option I LOVE, you can now save leftovers! No more cooking a meal for 8 people and having to throw most of it away! You can put leftovers in the fridge and they never go bad. Any Sim, even child Sims, can go to the fridge and get leftovers to eat. I found this to be vry helpful when my child Sims get up earlier than the parents and are really hungry. Now instead of having to wait for mom or dad to get up and fix breakfast, little Jimmy can get his own and put the rest back for the next person to have.
All in all, an excellent expansion pack. I highly recommend it!

I have this expansion pack for the Sims 2 series. No Sims 2 Collection is complete without a single expansion pack. The best part about this pack is the changing seasons that the game simulates. I like the Spring and Summer seasons myself with the rain and thunderstorms. If your thinking of buying this pack for your Sims 2 collection, go for it because it gives the game that extra boost in gameplay. One of my family members said that they wanted it for their collection thus I bought it again.
