Season festivals transform a particular park in each world with a variety of activities and objects including skating rinks, kissing stands, photo booths, and tables that host food eating competitions. The other major addition with the expansion is the distinct festivals that occur in each of the seasons. The seasonal-related activities create for a more engaging experience as the gameplay feels more dynamic as new opportunities continually present themselves to players. Even additional snowman types are unlocked as Sims create more of them in the winter season. Sims will begin as terrible skaters that continually fall to the ground, then progress as experts that race around the rink with the utmost grace. Many of these activities contain levels of experience similar to the normal set of skills. As well, Sims can succumb to being struck by lightning in storms, freezing to death, and heat exhaustion.Įach of the seasons also introduces various activities that range from the ability to create snowmen in the winter to tanning in the summer. Sims can now develop colds if they venture outside unprepared for the current weather and temperature conditions. Weather and temperature can wreak havoc on the unprepared Sims that don't bundle up or ignore the dangers of violent thunderstorms. Sims can check a computer, newspaper, and television for a weekly forecast of the weather. Temperature is displayed in a new section of the interface that also includes the number of days left in the current season. Nearly all of the weather types have effects on Sims that range from using umbrellas in the rain to bundling up in the new outerwear clothing for colder weather in fall and winter seasons.
Fall, winter, spring, and summer each bring with them an assortment of weather types, activities, and seasonal festivals. While Seasons doesn't have many elements in relation to the past Supernatural expansion pack with werewolves and witches, they do share a rather large change to the core Sims 3 gameplay.
Along with a host of new build and buy objects, Create a Sim items, and other various additions, Seasons is one of the more content-rich expansion packs that truly expands the game beyond its foundation. Aliens from past expansions also make their return with abductions and other questionable acts. The Sims 3 Seasons expansion pack is by far one of the most significant changes to the overall gameplay and appearance of the series with the addition of four seasons and their related weather types and festivals.
