A long-awaited cosmetic change.

User Rating: 8.2 | The Sims 2 Seasons PC
Right away, you're either still playing The Sims or you're not. This is for those of you who are. The changes this expansion pack brings can only be appreciated by those who play it regularly. If you've played it since it's inception, you know that weather has been waited for for a while. It's finally here, and Maxis has incorporated the actual gameplay with the weather. There is something unique to do each season, such as gardening in the spring, or having snowball fights in the winter. There have been a lot of handy group activites added that help with progression too. For example, your sims can play Marco Polo in the swimming pool, which builds body skill at the same time. The other major addition are the six new career tracks, which add more new approaches to the game. These include, Gamer, Journalism, Adventurer, Education, Law, and Music. Each have their own new chance cards as well.
This expansion adds something completely new to the game, although the weather effects will lose their luster over time, probably sooner rather than later. Subtle additions do help with gameplay though, and there is enough here to last until (hopefully) another expansion.
