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!
This expansion is definitely worth it!

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.) then Seasons is definitely for you. The seasons not only add many different climates but the weather actually changes! From snow, to rain to a blistering hot day your Sims will never be bored and will always be facing some surprising circumstances. 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.
Pros:
+ The seasons! 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! Have you ever wished to see snow fall and wonder on your Sims' faces at the first snow of the season? How about experience a random rain storm? Bright, hot, blistering weather good for splashing around in the pool? 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. You can have a special "outerwear" for the winter, and you can set certain hair styles for certain outfits (formal, outerwear, etc!) which is great when you don't want to manually change your Sim's hair for their wedding day or something!
Cons:
- Your Sims sometimes over heat easily, and this can lead to death. 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! 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! 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. Still, it's a fantastic and well done game!
