SynopsisThe winds are shifting and the skies are turning — the world of the Sims is changing — and this time, you can blame it on the weather. The Sims 3 is about to get a little more unpredictable and a whole lot more exciting as the Seasons start to impact your virtual world. From romance blossoming inside an igloo to a freak lightning strike zapping your home, anything can happen in The Sims 3 Seasons. One thing's for sure, no matter the time of year, the forecast is sure to include lots of fun.There's nothing like the scent of pumpkin pie in the fall, the magic of the first snowfall of the winter or the warmth of the summer sun on your skin. Now, you can experience the best — and worst — that every season has to offer in the world of your Sims. Dress for the occasion with an expanded wardrobe of seasonal attire, from warm and cozy snow gear to breezy summer dresses, and of course, an ample selection of spooky costumes for Halloween. Once you look the part, head out into the elements for new activities for spring, summer, fall and winter, including swimming, pumpkin carving, playing with fireworks and more. Each season comes in with a bang as you dance, bob for apples, get your face painted and more at festivals throughout the year. With new items, like a tanning booth, decorations and seasonal foods, there's lots to love about every season — but keep an eye out for inclement weather, ailments and other hazards that come along with the changes. Plus, as new weather patterns emerge, a surprising new visitor just might stumble into the neighborhood, bringing along the chance for out-of-this world adventure. Pack up your ski boots, bathing suit and umbrella — it looks like there's a chance of some pretty wild weather.
