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!

Fun game - love the seasons!

I ordered this game thinking I would have to send it back, for I have had bad luck with Amazon in the past. But my Sims 2 game works fine. The downloading process was a little confusing, but the outcome is great. The game plays wonderful. I would definitely buy from this guy again.

YA this game rules!

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!

Love it!!!

I love this expansion pack. My favorite so far.

Also, Amazon is amazing...the expansion pack shipped earlier than expected and I was not charged anything extra for it. Thank you Amazon.

Great Addition to The Sims 2 Family!

The Sims 2 Seasons adds A LOT to gameplay! I as fairly disappointed after the release of The Sims 2 University - it lacked many objects and new gameplay. Seasons has both! After getting Sims fed, rested, and to the bathroom, there is usually very little time for them to do much else. Thats why this expansion pack is great - the seasons come naturally, as if in real life. Maxis promised us Seasons in the making of The Sims 2 game, and they definitely delivered on this one! There are dozens of new items, wallpapers, flooring, roofs, clothing, and even some new hairstyles. Sims can now play Marco-Polo in the pool, and go fishing in ponds! This expansion pack is a little more graphic-intense than the others, so make sure you are running at least the minimum specs on your computer. People I have talked to (as well as myself), don't appear to be having too much trouble with game lag after installing this expansion pack. I highly recommend Seasons, as one of, if not THE best expansion pack for The Sims 2 genre.

Sims 2 Seasons Review from an Avid Simmer

I love Sims. I have the University, Nightlife, and now the Seasons expansion pack. I have been playing since the original Sims. Seasons adds a great element to the game because, finally, there is a change to the outdoor environment. The one drawback from the game is that it is slower... sims take a few seconds to change their coats if they are going outdoors or to change into their pajamas. Load time for lots is a bit longer as well. However, the pros outweigh the cons. If you were getting bored with how easy sims were before and you need a challenge, this is a good expansion pack. Like University, it takes some time to learn how to balance your sim in the new environment. I love the new careers and the new objects. It's interesting to teach your sim to garden and there are so many facets to learn to manipulate. Another great sim game!

Beware the Spontaneous Combustion

Seasons is the bane of my existence! I recently visited a friend, who had the Sims 2 game, and was immediately addicted. Therefore I bought the game myself with a few of the expansions that sounded interesting to me, including seasons.

Upon playing the game, owning it less than a week, I've already had two sims die because they were in the hot tub and it suddenly burst into flames. Further research shows that sims have become more temperature sensitive and can die from heatstroke, freezing to death, and spontaneous combustion. While these in themselves are somewhat amusing additions, it is the ease with which they happen that makes it annoying! Apparently the windows version has a patch to help with the frequency of these occurences, but I was unable to tell if there was an equivalent patch for the mac version OR if the mac version had been released later enough that they were already corrected. Either way, it happens with some frequency in the game and if you were used to playing without, it can come as an unpleasant surprise.

Lightning is also a danger as it is apt to set on fire any trees around your home, inciting sims to panic. I've also read that sims can die from hail. It seems with Sims 2 Seasons, danger is always lurking around the corner. To top off my current annoyance, I bought this last week at 34.99 on amazon, only to have it drop to 19.99 (presumably for the holidays, I suppose).

One thing I did enjoy was the ability to put away leftovers, which I believe (not positive) as an addition from this EP. The sims is addictive, if not frustrating, amusing if not irritating.
