Dumb and Dumber

User Rating: 8.8 | The Sims 2 Seasons PC
By Lt_Storm | Review Date:
Okay, so I have barely gotten into really playing Seasons, I've probably only spent like 2 hours doing so and already I feel compelled to write a review. First, there are a bevy of awesome new objects (including an ice rink, sweet), a new sim thermostat (to keep an eye on how hot or cold your sim gets), new social interactions, new clothes, and the best of all....ALL 4 SEASONS!! which you can set to your own preferences. So my few minutes into the game I was amazed at how much the sims like to go outside and play now, and I was waiting for it to snow when finally it did. Very cool. The snow falls down on everything even custom/downloaded objects.
I was also amazed at how STUPID these sims are getting, its like they all have the Homer Simpson syndrome. With every passing expansion they get dumber and dumber. Examples; 1. Sims will still swim in outdoor pools in the winter. 2. Sims will have water balloon fights outside in the winter. 3. Both of these above things are the STUPIDEST things to do in the winter months. (and out door hot tubs will NOT warm them up) 4. The weather forcaster is hardly ever right!! (i guess it depicts real life)

I'm still waiting for the glitches, you know there will be a few or 40. It boggles the mind on how many glitches these expansions have, EA has only been making these for how many years now...guess that's where the "intelligence" of the sims come from...

Still a very cool (pun intended) addition to the Sims 2 games, and finally something different (unlike pets, or nightlife which were just slight changes to sim 1 expansions to make them seem different). I like the fact that we get to have expansions that had the fun of the first one but Seasons is FINALLY something truly different and unique. Of course with Seasons you will find a bit more lag in the game unless you have a super computer beyond this universe. (that is saying you have all the expansions and stuff packages as I do).

I can't wait to see what happens to my sims if I leave them cold, so far one has only turned blue and since I hadn't saved my game yet I didn't want to see what would happen. Can't wait till summer, which unlike where I am right now, can happen whenever I want.

    Seasons is easily the best Sims 2 expansion since Nightlife

    As far as expansion packs go, the last few Sims add-ons from EA have been rather disappointing. Open For Business added a much-needed independent career option, but little else, while the content of Pets was pretty much ... Read Full Review

    This is definitely not an expansion you want to pass on.

    Even though I purchased all the other Sims 2 expansions, none of them ever seemed worth writing a review about. They all were pretty well self explanatory and just from looking at the title I figured most players could i... Read Full Review
