Sims 2 Seasons - Awesome!!

This is the best expansion pack thus far. I enjoy the other expansions, but not as much as this one. The seasons create a greater expectation of things to come. It's so much more fun to see Santa when there is snow on the ground. I find myself anxiously awaiting Spring so my Sims can plant a garden. Sims with money can build a greenhouse where they can plant and harvest year round, but it is much more fun to battle the elements and earn a Gold badge. I've managed to raise Legacy families just by having a cheapo refrigerator and never having to refill if with groceries. I have my Sims fish and garden for food. Having leftovers is also a great thing, no more wasted meals.

The new careers and rewards are fantastic... You can double up rewards and their benefits, too. A Sim wearing the Thinking Cap who gives his toddler Smart Mild in the Fall will teach that child everything in the time it takes the Smart milk to wear off. Very cool!

Don't be gun-shy of this expansion... get it, you'll love it!

Hi.
I saw this ep (short for expansion pack), yesterday on the internet. I've always dreamed of the sims 2 having seasons where it rains and snows, and this is it! And I thought the sims 2 pets was good, but this ep beats all the others by a million miles! Maxis/EA Games, why did you make us wait sooo long for this to be released?! You're tearing us apart! :)
Anyway, the sims 2 sesons has some really great features, such as turning sims into plants. There are also six new careers for your sims. Now your sims can experience hailstorms, lighting bolts, snowstorms, and rain showers! YAY!
Of course there is a downside to this game. It won't be released until March 1, 2007. boo hoo....... >:(
But it'll be worth the wait. I think this ep should have been one of the first ones to come out.
This game is going to be just wonderful. I can't wait to build a snowman in the yard!

Rock on Sim fans!
:)

What I've been waiting for

Since a few expansions back I've been waiting for this addition to the game. To my suprise the graphics turned out better than I'd expected, when it snows and rains you really get the feeling, especially the lightning. Excellent new items, interesting carrers, and more cooking options are some things you can look forward to. Now I'm just waiting for them to come out with a vacation and superstar addition like in the Sims 1.

Best Sims2 Expansion Pack

This is by far the best Sims2 Expansion pack released. The change of seasons is wonderful, and so are the seasonal boosts to learning or relationships. The pack adds:
gardening
fishing
paying all bills at once - no more hunting for where the bills were set down
setting different hairstyles for different outfits
putting leftover food back into the fridge for later
a waterslide
6 new careers that you don't have to go to college to unlock
a bunch of content that was released in previous packs
new build-mode controlls - lot levelling and a sledgehammer
and more great stuff.

If you get no other expansion pack, this is the one to get!

Whoooo! Weaaaather!

I was always bothered by The Sims not having any weather. Now, you can have weather and all sorts of interesting "accidents" can occur. I've had Sims struck by lightening, being frozen to death while building snowmen, and overheating the treadmill and catching it on fire. I highly recommend getting this expansion pack if you have The Sims 2. I can't think of one thing that I don't like about it, unlike the other expansion packs I've gotten.

OK

For any Sims 2 fan, this game enhances the abilities far beyond that of the regular game. Having the additional options for each of the seasons brings a better atmosphere to the entire game. For instance, those spring weddings are so much better. Also, you no longer have to spend half your day watering your flowerbeds, the sprinkling system does a great job. It has really reinvigorated the game to a new level of fun.

Yay! Snowmen!!

The only downside I've found to this game is that whenever it snows or rains, your sims will stop what they are doing (eating, sleeping, talking, whatever) to go look out the window at the rain or snow. It's not as bad with the rain. Not all sims will do this so obsessively, but it's enough to be annoying. On the plus side, at least it's snowing. ^_^

This game also comes with gardens, fishing, fruit trees, penguins!, winter clothes, the ability to choose different hairstyles for each outfit without having to run to the mirror, and some new jobs!! So any hardcore SIMS Fan needs to have this. ^_^

The best Sims 2 expansion pack to date!

I will preface this review by divulging that I am a weather nerd. I can watch The Weather Channel for hours on end. I have the National Weather Service and National Hurricane Center websites in my bookmark toolbar. I am a big weather fan. When I heard EA/Maxis was developing weather and seasons, I was thrilled. I've always wanted weather for my virtual world!

I also have the University, Nightlife, and Open for Business expansion packs. I adore them all and have had numerous hours of exciting game play with them. However, Seasons just blows them away. In addition to having weather and seasons (which adds SO much more to the game, especially if you like doing character development with your sims), it also introduces gardening and growing your own produce. For people like me who can't seem to keep real plants alive, this virtual gardening is like a dream come true. The game also introduces new careers and new wardrobe options (now you can design your own outerwear as well)! Of course you also get the additional items as you do with every expansion pack.

The game also gives your sims more ways to interact and enriches the characters of your sims. You learn skills faster at different times of the year, your sim wants to do things based on the temperature and weather, and the AI improves because it has more options to choose. It is literally fascinating to watch your free-will sims interact with weather changes and each other as the seasons pass. This expansion gives unprecedented depth to character development of your sims.

Seasons brings a whole new dimension to your Sims 2 game. If you only get one expansion, I highly recommend getting this one.

Love it!!!

I have the Sims2 Holiday and Seasons and they rock! These are my first on PC - I started out with SIMS Busting Out on XBox - the speed is a bit slower and my PC is slow at times but I love the options that the expansion packs add.

Gardening has been kinda hard to start out with - I tried a huge garden and the tomatoes didn't turn out so well. The fruit trees either...is there a secret to keeping them healthy? You don't always get the option to tend or spray them. Sometimes all you can do is mulch and start over. My juicer would never make juice either - just allows me to restock the produce - what is the trick to that? guess I need edible produce? I love that I can build a greenhouse and have produce all year. The fruit trees go dormant in the fall which is a nice break from constantly tending to them.

I love the new furnishings and that you can now add more things to a commercial lot - the roller rink is too funny! They often take a tumble when they first start out.

You can now invite more people over in one phone call which is nice. Getting a game of water balloon fighting is always fun too and gets multiple sims involved.

Have fun! Hours go by quickly once you get started.

Definitely Fun For All Seasons!

The long awaited Season's expansion for the Sims 2 game seems to be worthwhile for the fun and interaction that comes with it. The new weather ability offers some realism to the simming world by offering all four of the seasons (which you can modify at your own discretion), and new challenges for sims like staying warm or cooling off as necessary. No more living outdoors or without roofs to save cash! New activities like catching fireflies, planting gardens (you can even join the garden club if you have a green thumb), roller & ice-skating and building snowmen add little things to the game series that make it a bit more lifelike. New careers like journalism and music offer a bit more fun career wise. A new aspiration reward even allows you to change the weather at your own whim, want snow in Summer? You got it. Just beware of using it outside of gold or platinum aspiration. The new neighborhood that comes with this expansion also offers some interesting new characters to play, like a plantsim. You can also grow your own vegetables and fish providing interesting ways of making new dishes for your sim families, some of which have interesting effects. My personal favorite with this expansion is the Juicer, which with certain combinations of fruits and vegetables can offer things like faster homework, love potions, cooling off or warming your sim up, energy boosts, and even speeding up the learning of skills or offering an entire skill point.

My only gripes with this game have been the fact that some of the activities can get a bit annoying like playing catch and water balloon fights if you play with your sims on free will (think the of the pranks that came with the University expansion), and the fact that your sims will stupidly drop what they're doing to look out the window at hail, rain or snow pretty much every time they occur. I also notice that sometimes the temperatures are a bit off kilter, such as, sims can get easily heated when working out now (even in winter) or even just making out (rather funny actually). Those minor annoyances aside, the game offers a good deal of fun and change, which I personally welcome into the wide world of simming. This is definitely one of the better expansions for Sims 2 in my personal opinion. Enjoy!
