Finally, a much awaited addition to an aspiring franchise, that should have been done years ago.
The Sims can now enjoy seasonal changes like snow or hail. You can have snowball fights or you can go out to catch fire flies. The CyberPeople can also make their own snowmen. If you have Pets installed, you might be visited by a Penguin in the winter. Among other activities, you can now stomp in a puddle and take a sun bath
Fishing and farming have also found a way into the big league. You can now fish at almost every water body you can find and can grow your very own vegetables. These can be sold of at the market, or turned into various potions and chemicals your Sim can use. There is also a gardening club and an option to create a Green House.
Among other updates, the Sims can now choose from six additional career paths, like Pro Gamming, Adventure, Law, Music, Journalism, and Education. Each career path has its own additional career rewards. The game also includes 100+ new items for your Sims to buy and try. They include all sorts of things from a weather controller to a skating rink to a hard metal electric guitar. And finally, you may want to change into something warm before stepping out in the cold, or you might catch a cold.
