Beware the Spontaneous Combustion [Posted on 2007-12-05] Seasons is the bane of my existence! I recently visited a friend, who had the Sims 2 game, and was immediately addicted. Therefore I bought the game myself with a few of the expansions that sounded interesting to me, including seasons.
Upon playing the game, owning it less than a week, I've already had two sims die because they were in the hot tub and it suddenly burst into flames. Further research shows that sims have become more temperature sensitive and can die from heatstroke, freezing to death, and spontaneous combustion. While these in themselves are somewhat amusing additions, it is the ease with which they happen that makes it annoying! Apparently the windows version has a patch to help with the frequency of these occurences, but I was unable to tell if there was an equivalent patch for the mac version OR if the mac version had been released later enough that they were already corrected. Either way, it happens with some frequency in the game and if you were used to playing without, it can come as an unpleasant surprise.
Lightning is also a danger as it is apt to set on fire any trees around your home, inciting sims to panic. I've also read that sims can die from hail. It seems with Sims 2 Seasons, danger is always lurking around the corner. To top off my current annoyance, I bought this last week at 34.99 on amazon, only to have it drop to 19.99 (presumably for the holidays, I suppose).
One thing I did enjoy was the ability to put away leftovers, which I believe (not positive) as an addition from this EP. The sims is addictive, if not frustrating, amusing if not irritating.
Great Addition to The Sims 2 Family! [Posted on 2008-01-03] The Sims 2 Seasons adds A LOT to gameplay! I as fairly disappointed after the release of The Sims 2 University - it lacked many objects and new gameplay. Seasons has both! After getting Sims fed, rested, and to the bathroom, there is usually very little time for them to do much else. Thats why this expansion pack is great - the seasons come naturally, as if in real life. Maxis promised us Seasons in the making of The Sims 2 game, and they definitely delivered on this one! There are dozens of new items, wallpapers, flooring, roofs, clothing, and even some new hairstyles. Sims can now play Marco-Polo in the pool, and go fishing in ponds! This expansion pack is a little more graphic-intense than the others, so make sure you are running at least the minimum specs on your computer. People I have talked to (as well as myself), don't appear to be having too much trouble with game lag after installing this expansion pack. I highly recommend Seasons, as one of, if not THE best expansion pack for The Sims 2 genre.
Great Product [Posted on 2008-02-04] I ordered this game thinking I would have to send it back, for I have had bad luck with Amazon in the past. But my Sims 2 game works fine. The downloading process was a little confusing, but the outcome is great. The game plays wonderful. I would definitely buy from this guy again.
Omg I love this game! [Posted on 2008-04-05] Best expansion pack I have for the sims, I even think it is better than open for business. I suggest that if you are a sim lover you should get this game, because its just pure fun!
Seasons for my Sims!! [Posted on 2008-06-27] I haven't gotten to play Seasons much, but so far I like it. My favorite reaction so far is when the Sim gets cold & wants to go jump in the pool!
