Fans of the Popular Video Game Series Embark on New Seasonal Adventures with Their Sims
REDWOOD CITY, Calif. – (December 12, 2006) – Electronic Arts (NASDAQ: ERTS) today announced that fans of the popular video game franchise,
The Sims™ 2, will now be able to head outdoors for year-round fun with their Sims. The Sims™
2 Seasons will be available as a PC expansion pack* and will build on the celebrated
The Sims 2 experience that allows players to create and control virtual characters throughout their lives while determining the outcome of their relationships and choosing their destiny.
The Sims 2 Seasons introduces all new ways for your Sims to enjoy spring, summer, autumn & winter!
Experiencing all four seasons for the first time – from seasonal activities to all-new outerwear for unpredictable weather – is guaranteed to provide a whole new level of excitement for your Sims! Not only will your Sims experience the seasons changing in spring, summer, autumn and winter, but each season will deliver unique benefits, impacting your Sims relationships, mood, skills, careers and more. And be sure to dress your Sims appropriately for the weather -- freezing, sunburn and other unexpected weather effects can occur!
Whether you’re strengthening family ties in winter, letting romance bloom in spring, deepening the bonds of friendship in summer, or fast-tracking your career in autumn, the seasons have a whole new impact on your Sims’ lives throughout the year! Avoid the heat; take a dip in the pool and play Marco Polo! Go skating on an ice rink; have snowball fights, build snowmen or make snow angels. Each season unfolds differently delivering stunning visuals of weather effects and seasonal changes including snow, rain, hail, lightning and more ensuring a unique gameplay experience for many seasons to come. Show Off Your Sims’ Green Fingers; make your garden blossom and reap the rewards! And as an added bonus, crops that harvest at the peak time can produce varying juices that reap special benefits, from love potions and energy boosts to cold fighters and smart juices! Time to drink up!
“The Sims 2 Seasons really delivers what the players have been asking for – a unique gaming experience offering new seasonal, outdoor activities that players can engage in. And because each season unfolds differently, spring, summer autumn and winter will look different than the year before, guaranteeing a fresh experience each season,” said Vice President and Studio Head of The Sims Division, Rod Humble. “From fishing with Dad on a cool lake to catching fireflies on a warm summer night – these are the great moments in life we remember either from growing up with our parents or growing up with our kids. The wonderful gardening system adds another layer of player creativity and nurturing which is the perfect compliment to the base game. ”

how many damn expansions does that game have? Sweet jesus.
People still care about this game?
Hurrah! I can murder my famlies in different seasons now! I wonder if getting struck by lightning is a cause of death now, or freezing.. Hmmm so many possibilities!
A weather system is something I always wanted in this series, neat. Too bad I haven't touched the game in about a year. I still keep it installed because the girl loves it.
That is one of the more interesting expansion ideas. I doubt I'd pick it up, though.
Too little too late eh? I hear ya. My brain is elsewhere; I can't wait to get Castlevania Budget of Ruin in the mail this week
Goddammit I've been waiting two years and still no Sims 2: Crackhouse
I'd bet this expansion would be murder for the low-powered PCs out there. They had to up the requirements for Nigthlife and again for Pets. Not that I care since I meet those requirements by a long shot.
Thanks so much for this! This is exactly what I was looking for
