The Sims 2 Seasons Edition (PC)

The Sims 2 is a virtual dolls house, but with the extra features of dolls that grow older, get married, have children and eventually create complex family trees. Seasons is the fifth expansion pack for the game, and adds features like the ability to fish or grow produce, like tomatoes, beans and peppers or apples, lemons and oranges, in your garden, and also adds weather and seasons, which makes planning your Sims lives that bit more complicated. ...
...name, it's the changing weather and seasons, which aim to make The Sims even more realistic. The weather can range from sunny, through rainy, to stormy and on to snow or hail in autumn and winter. Depending on the season, different weather types become more or less likely, for example, it's highly unlikely to see snow in summer, and highly unlikely that your Sims will get sun-stroke in winter. Because, of course, the weather can have consequences ...

The Sims --------------- Maxis are the wonderful company that brought us 'sim city' 'Sid Meir's Sim Gold' and 'The Sims'. Although the Sims was a great game, there was a lot to be updated and Maxis released the Sims 2 in 2004, selling 1 million copies in 10 days. The Sims2 is a game where you create and bring up your own family. Buy a house for your sims, redecorate and plan the layout as you wish. Buy their furniture, get them jobs, get them ...

Also, getting your sims skill points by doing related activities can win them a promotion (e.g. watch the cooking channel to gain cooking points). At the bottom of the screen is a series of buttons which allow you to view their job status, skill points, age, name, personality, fitness, starsign, wants needs and aspirations. The 'Wants' and 'Fears' bars show ...

The Sims 2 Seasons was one of the the last and most enjoyable expansion packs for the game. It finally offered you the chance to see more then just blue sky in sim land, there were storms, snow, sunshine of course and the long awaited seasons. You had spring, summer and winter and each season brought with it different surprises. You got to rack up leaves in autumn, then have a kid jump in them and mess them up or burn them, build snowmen in winter ...
...or you could sunbathe in the summer and get burnt to a lobster. This expansion pack works pretty well with the holiday pack too where when you take your sims away they will get the weather each location predicts, for example snow in a snowy setting or campsite, sun on a beach location etc. If you leave your sims out too long in various conditions their body temperature which is shown by the temp gauge will change. Don't let them get too hot or too ...

Review of The Sims 2 Seasons Edition (PC)

The Sims 2: Seasons is by far my favourite expansion for the Sims 2, not least because it brings the snow! The various weather changes add a touch of realism to your gaming because the sims react to the change in climate. If you send them outside in the snow without appropriate clothing they can get ill, likewise in the summer they can get sunburned. Lightening can strike your sim, setting them on fire, which a sick part of me finds rather amusing! ...
...Your sims react to the weather, the first snowfall will incite excitement and ongoing rain will cause them to stand at the window grumbling. There are lots of new interactions to play around with too, your sims can build snowmen, have snowball fights, rake leaves and splash around in puddles depending on the current season. The seasons last for around 6 sim days and the weather is usually typical of the current season. This is not always the case ...

...relationships and moods change with the seasons. Don't forget to take steps to avoid freezing, sunburn, sneezing or face the consequences. Your sims can grow crops in a greenhouse as well as outside. Once the crops have grown you can either sell them or keep them for your sims, who can then put them in the juicer. I find that when they take a drink from the juicer their mood brightens up. If your sims garden looks good enough, then your sims could ...
...just a diving board for the swimming pool, so luckily a pool slide comes with this expansion pack. Your sims can go on their back or head first down the slide. Isn't it nice when wishes come true? Well with the new wishing well, you can make that happen, but be careful what your wish for because not all wishes turn out to be good ones. The seasons last for about five sim days, but with new objects you can make them last longer, or even make one ...

...my already vast world of the Sims and I have never looked back. Yes, all the four seasons are finally an interactive part of your Sims life. In winter it snows! You can build snowmen, throw snowballs and warm up with a mug of hot chocolate. However, be warned that prolonged exposure to the outside might result in your Sim freezing and even dying. One of my Sims accidently stayed out too long and froze, but thankfully another of my Sims got a warm ...
...penguin! You can enjoy the hot sun in summer, rain in spring and leaves shedding everywhere in autumn. Why not build a greenhouse and grow your own tomatoes! However, in summer it is also possible to overheat. I do not recommend a hot tub because I have had Sims die from it! If you do want a hot tub, make sure you have a fruit punch bowl near to it and make your Sims take lots of juice to cool down with afterwards. Also included are summer outfits ...

There are the normal 4 seasons, summer,autumn,winter and spring, which take about 5 sim days to pass through. ...

The Sims 2 Seasons is another excellenct expansion pack released by EA. The expansion pack brings one of the greatest additions yet, the seasons. With this new feature the game appears more life like and enjoyable to play. The new features dont just stop with the seasons, your sims can now grow their own food, which is a personal faviourte, catch fish, choose from another six careers, go skating and store leftover food. The new seasons allow your ...
...you sims stay out in the snow too long they can freeze, or get burnt is summer or even struck by lightening in spring. My faviourte feature of the new expansion pack is the gardening addition. Now your sims can grow their own fruit and veg. Whilst it takes many hours of spraying, watering and weeding, its really good when you pick your first set of food. By growing your own food you can even sell it on at a large profit. If you do grow your own ...

The Sims 2 is EA Games most successful game. Millions of copies of both the origional game and all its bizzar expansions have been sold world-wide over the past few years. The Sims game-play is awesome to begin with. Then the inevitable happens - it becomes tedius and repetetive. This game is all about creating groups of people in which your job it is to run their lives, controlling their every move (could be a family, couple or lonely guy) - the ...
...in. So...you play the game for a week or so, but because the inevitable bordom is beginning to kick in, you feel it nessesary to purchase an expansion for some rediculous price. The expansions don't make this game any more entertaining to play... Well, maybe they do for a few hours. But then your back to square one... Buying another seemingly 'fun' expansion signals the visious circle to continue. The people (Sims) you controll have skill levels ...

I also love being able to grown your own vegetables (lemons, apples, oranges, strawberries, tomatoes, cucumbers eand many more). There are also new career oppertunities in the education field, adventurer profession, gamer, law enforcement, journalism and musician.

I knew before I bought TS2, that the graphics weren't going to be fantastic on a laptop, but considering I meet the recommended requirements, they should at least be decent. Nothing is shaded - things like the water in the neighbourhood view and snow are just blocks. Everything is jagged and choppy. Certain weather effects, such as lightening and hail often crash the game. ...

Everyone has heard of the sims 2 but for those who havent: It is a game where you can create and play a virtual person getting them to do what you want and when you want them to. Although you still have to watch their needs (e.g hunger, cleanliness, etc.) save some money by getting a job or selling items that you have previously bought. You can have kids and watch them grow from baby to toddler to child to teenager to adult and finally to and oap. ...

The sims 2 seasons is an expansion pack like many of the others (e.g open for buisness, nightlife etc.) The sims 2 seasons allows their to be seasons in the game, obviously and you can pick which seasons they are to. There would be no point having snow in a dessert it would ruin the effect or having summer in a iceberg town. There is also ...
