Winter

For the Sims, winter is a time for family, fun in the snow, and the warm indoors.

Environment Changes

 * Temperature stays low
 * Light takes on a bluish tone
 * Night-time appears to be darker
 * Lakes freeze

Probable Weather

 * Snow
 * Hail

Winter activities

 * Sims can build snowmen
 * Sims can have snowball fights
 * Dogs can eat snow
 * Toddlers can play in the snow
 * Sims can make snow angels

Other changes

 * Sims dress in winter wear outside
 * No plants outside will grow (orchard trees will become dormant)
 * Chance of catching a cold increases
 * Penguins can come to your garden, and they will most likely talk to snowmen broken or not.
 * Sims can turn blue and freeze if they become too cold (hot chocolate and other warm things can alleviate this)
 * When it's snowing outside (or there was a lot of snow in the night), you have a small chance of getting a snow day, which means the kids don't go to school.
