Video Game Reviews of The Sims 2 Seasons Expansion Pack
Customer Review: Great!
Summary: 5 Stars
Just a great addition to the core of the sims 2 game. I bought this EP before I bought pets. Both worked fine when installed out of order (i think they should have come together, but that is another story...) but my point is I could play game w/o those annoying pets, but cannot even think about playing w/o seasons. Gardening, fishing, weather, seasons (redundant, i know) changed the whole landscape of the game (literally and figuratively) and the way I play. Just like mostly everyone else said, it is one of the best EPs date. Customer Review: My daughter loves it!
Summary: 5 Stars
The Sims 2 and Sims 2 Seasons expansion pack are a great entertainment source for my daughter and her friends. They love going on the computer and designing all kinds of stuff. She played it with her friend, and now she's thrilled to have her own. This makes for a GREAT gift idea.Customer Review: Just as Game-Changing as "Open for Business!"
Summary: 5 Stars
In my humble opinion, "Seasons" is only other expansion pack besides "Open for Business" that makes the Sims 2 almost a brand new game.
The change of seasons affects almost every aspect of the Sims lives. Awesome! Worth every penny.
BRAVO EA!
Customer Review: Definitely Fun For All Seasons!
Summary: 4 Stars
The long awaited Season's expansion for the Sims 2 game seems to be worthwhile for the fun and interaction that comes with it. The new weather ability offers some realism to the simming world by offering all four of the seasons (which you can modify at your own discretion), and new challenges for sims like staying warm or cooling off as necessary. No more living outdoors or without roofs to save cash! New activities like catching fireflies, planting gardens (you can even join the garden club if you have a green thumb), roller & ice-skating and building snowmen add little things to the game series that make it a bit more lifelike. New careers like journalism and music offer a bit more fun career wise. A new aspiration reward even allows you to change the weather at your own whim, want snow in Summer? You got it. Just beware of using it outside of gold or platinum aspiration. The new neighborhood that comes with this expansion also offers some interesting new characters to play, like a plantsim. You can also grow your own vegetables and fish providing interesting ways of making new dishes for your sim families, some of which have interesting effects. My personal favorite with this expansion is the Juicer, which with certain combinations of fruits and vegetables can offer things like faster homework, love potions, cooling off or warming your sim up, energy boosts, and even speeding up the learning of skills or offering an entire skill point.
My only gripes with this game have been the fact that some of the activities can get a bit annoying like playing catch and water balloon fights if you play with your sims on free will (think the of the pranks that came with the University expansion), and the fact that your sims will stupidly drop what they're doing to look out the window at hail, rain or snow pretty much every time they occur. I also notice that sometimes the temperatures are a bit off kilter, such as, sims can get easily heated when working out now (even in winter) or even just making out (rather funny actually). Those minor annoyances aside, the game offers a good deal of fun and change, which I personally welcome into the wide world of simming. This is definitely one of the better expansions for Sims 2 in my personal opinion. Enjoy!
Customer Review: Makes the game complete
Summary: 5 Stars
I had the Sims 2 and their pets, but it wasn't realistic enough without Seasons. It snows, rains and you get hail. Your sims also get mad if you forget to put a roof on their house and it rains!
There's lighting in the thunderstorms and yes, your sims can get hit as well as lawn furniture and decorations. They can freeze in the winter and burn in the summer... really burn!
There are new activities like fishing, snowball fights, water balloon fights, playing catch, building snowmen and making snow angels. You can cook the fish you catch and even put away leftovers. If your sims fish you actually don't spend any money on food!
This is the perfect addition to the Sims collection and I would have to recommend it to everyone!
