Weather (game mechanic): Difference between revisions

[[File:Weather.png|left|link=]]'''Weather''' is introduced in the ''[[The Sims 2: Seasons]]'' and ''[[The Sims 3: Seasons]]'', though an extremely limited form of weather also exists in ''[[The Sims]]''. There are four seasons: [[Spring]], [[Summer]], [[Fall]], and [[Winter]]. In ''[[The Sims 2: Seasons]]'', each season is five days long, making it twenty days a seasonal year twenty days long. In the ''[[The Sims 3: Seasons]]'', each season is seven days by default, though players can adjust each length of the season from 3 to 28 days. [[Sim]]s' moods will change with the weather. Each season has a slightly different color cast, (e.g., winter is more desaturated, and fall has warmer, reddish tone). Weather also affects what festival is occurring on the [[festival grounds]]{{Vgversion|TS3:S}}.

In ''The Sims 2: Seasons'', each [[neighborhood]] and [[sub-neighborhood]] has a separate Season Chooser, which allows the player to determine which seasons will occur there, and what order they will occur in. By default, a neighborhood will start in Summer, followed by Fall, Winter, and then Spring. [[Riverblossom Hills]] is exceptional, withas it uses the order of Winter, Winter, Spring, and Fall.
