A superficial expansion pack that is all frills and no substance.
User Rating: 7 | The Sims 2 Seasons PC
When I first heard about Sims 2 Seasons, I was not that excited. Weather and seasons were cool prospects, but they were not that mindblowing. Sims 2 Seasons provides a lot of items, ranging from a totally useless salt and pepper shaker to fruit trees that actually need to be tended to. Also, Sims are also required to take care of their temperature, whether in summer or winter to prevent heatstroke or frostbite. But what I was most annoyed at was that Sims always change their clothes to "Outerwear" (raincoats and the like) whenever they leave their house. I would have liked to see more substance in the game, perhaps a community lot (communal garden) where Sims gather to socialize and grow plants, rather than cheap overlays on the original game to show that it's raining or snowing.
Architecturally, Sims 2 Seasons adds a new twist by allowing users to create greenhouses, or houses with floorlength window panels. Also, a new "creature" is added, the PlantSim, who is an ordinary Sim who just happened to use too much pesticide and comes like a plant, needing sunlight, water and love. But aside from that, there's not much in-depth gameplay that comes with Sims 2 Seasons.
Sims 2 Seasons is more geared toward the avid Sims 2 player, who wants anything and everything possible for his or her Sims.
