What’s New
Seasons brings some new features to the game that definitely add a lot the game and give it a more realistic feeling. First of all, every season is different. In the winter you can plain with an igloo. In autumn, the main attraction is the carving of pumpkins. Summer is the time to swim in the pool and jump on a trampoline. The creators also took care of the availability of appropriate outfits that will allow the hero to stay outdoors even on the coldest days when snow is falling.
The new seasonal festivals are also worth attention. The creators have made sure that in their spare time the Sims can meet with friends at new organized events that take place in interesting locations. The winter festival gives an opportunity for throwing snowballs. You can also use a snowboarding ramp or skate. The main theme of the winter festival is, obviously, Christmas. Spring Festival is the time when the Sims can throw horseshoes. Summer activities include roller skating, eating, face painting, and fireworks. The Autumn Festival gives the Sims a chance to take advantage of the house of horrors, and the hallmark of this event is Halloween.
The Sims 3: Seasons – How to Take Care of You Sim – the Guide
The Sims 3: Seasons is not just new attractions and locations, but also new Sims reactions to what’s going on. If we do not take care of the proper way to dress of our hero, then he may catch a cold. It is even possible to freeze. Too much tanning is also bad – it can cause sunburn. And during the thunderstorms, you’d better be careful too and preferably stay at home. Better not to be struck by lightning.
In this new DLC, there are also some novel interesting items. You can completely transform the interior of a Sim’s house by placing new items inside, such as ice chairs or ice bar, as well as Christmas lights and other decorations.
The expansion also introduces aliens from outer space. You can become friends with them, and also use their UFOs to kidnap a neighbor, just travel or perhaps make an invasion.
The Sims also gain new character traits: “loves the cold” or “loves the heat”. New hairstyles are also available for both women and men. When it comes to costumes, there is a Halloween costume and a Hot Dog costume.
The game does not force us to play in any given season, you can freely determine the length of each of the seasons.
