Finally, for the first time in The Sims 2, you'll experience, along with your Sims, the four seasons of Spring, Summer, Fall and Winter. You'll finally see snow falling outside your Sims' wintertime window, and practically feel the balmy summer breezes as the sunrays warmly beam down on your poolside Sims. Seasonal activities abound, although the winter ones, from ice-skating to building snowmen (that later come to animated life right in your Sims' front or back yard!) are the most entertaining...There are plenty of nice new seasonal effects and items to enjoy in The Sims 2 Seasons, but gameplay-wise, there is really not much advancement at all compared to what arrived in the previous expansion, Pets (or even as much as Open for Business or University). But The Sims 2 Seasons is another small genesis for the franchise, which is now scarily ever closer to being as true a life simulation as it could possibly be. - Lee Cieniawa
