Snowman
- Not to be confused with Snowman kit.
The Sims 2: Seasons
In The Sims 2: Seasons, Sims are able to make snowmen if deep snow is on the ground, and they may do so autonomously. Other Sims can join the activity. Making a snowman can be interrupted, though the Sim will not stop immediately. Sims can resume making a partly finished snowman, as long as deep snow is still on the ground.
Snowmen reflect the personality of the Sim that creates them, but not extensively, as they can only be good or evil. Sims have limited interaction with completed snowmen, but penguins occasionally appear on the lot and speak to the snowmen. Snowmen will begin to melt if the outdoor temperature gets warm enough or there is no snow left on the ground. Sims can "Knock over" snowmen, which may cause distress to other Sims in the area.
The Sims 3: Seasons
Snowmen are scheduled to return in The Sims 3: Seasons. Sims can work alone or in pairs to make snowmen when there is enough snow on the ground. There is a 50% chance of learning a new Snowman type when making one. Traits and certain other attributes determine what Snowmen your Sim can learn to make. Here is a picture of all six types, with a list of traits to unlock them:
Picture | Name | Requirements to have 50:50 chance to learn this type of Snowman |
---|---|---|
Classic Snowman | All Sims | |
Evil Snowman | Daredevil, Evil or Mean-Spirited traits or hidden Pyromaniac trait | |
Tragic Clown Snowman | Having a low mood of -40 or lower, or the Grumpy or Hates the Outdoors traits | |
Hockey Snowman | Athletic or Loves the Outdoors traits, or having an ice skating rink on the lot | |
Grim Reaper Snowman | Unlucky or Evil traits, having tombs or urns on the lot, or having a part-time job at the Mausoleum or Elder Sim | |
Alien Snowman | Insane or Computer Whiz traits, or Alien Sim |
- After four snowmen are on the lot sims will stop autonomously choosing to build snowmen until one melts.
- After reaching its 40% life time the snowman will become Slightly Melted and after 80% it will turn into Mostly Melted state.
- A sim is more likely to choose to do the destroy snowman interaction when his/her LTR is below -50 (half-full mood bar?).
- There’s 75% chance of fight between sim that made snowman and sim that destroyed it if sim that made it is nearby when its destroyed.
- A pet will chew/scratch the snowman for 10 – 15 minutes.
