[[File:Ep8_icon_2212348.png|left|link=The Sims 3: Seasons]][[File:(8)_Seasons_Cover.jpg|right|180px]]'''''[[The Sims 3: Seasons]]''''' is the eighth expansion pack for ''[[The Sims 3]]''. It is set to be released in mid-November 2012 worldwide.
'''[[Bonehilda]]''' is an [[NPC]] that was introduced in ''[[The Sims: Makin' Magic]]'', and later returned in ''[[The Sims 3: Supernatural]]'' and ''[[The Sims 4: Paranormal Stuff]]''. She can be summoned from either a special upright [[coffin]]{{Vgversion|TS:MM}}{{Vgversion|TS3:SN}} or by performing a [[Medium|seance]]{{Vgversion|TS4:PS}}.
 
She mainly functions as a [[maid]], with the ability to clean a Sim's house free of charge. However, depending on the game, she can also repair broken appliances, do [[laundry]], tend to a [[garden]], socialize, prepare meals, and care for children. As a walking [[skeleton]], any human maids who see her while they are working may freak out and quit their job, and house guests will generally be [[tense]] in her presence. In [[Haunted house residential|haunted houses]]{{Vgversion|TS4:PS}}, she is able to protect the residents by fighting off a vengeful spirit known as [[Temperance]].
The pack's main feature is the reintroduction of [[weather]] to the series, not seen since ''[[The Sims 2: Seasons]]''. Weather varies depending on the four seasons - Spring, Summer, Fall (Autumn) and Winter. The length, order and occurrence of particular seasons can be adjusted by the player in each saved game. As seasons change, the weather gradually changes, resulting in warmer or colder temperatures and variations in precipitation; rain, snow and hail.
 
Bonehilda will occasionally grab a drink from a nearby [[Bar (object)|bar]], [[sink]] or [[refrigerator]] when she has nothing else to do, which will humorously flow right through her and leave a puddle on the floor. She also seems to be a fan of the [[Grim Reaper]], and might stop to ask him for an autograph if he shows up{{Vgversion|TS:MM}}.
Each new season brings with it a special festival, which occurs on the last Friday of the season (or on the last day of the season, possibly). Love Day, a festival based on [[Wikipedia:Valentine's_Day|Valentine's Day]], takes place in the spring; Leisure Day occurs in the summer; Spooky Day, a play off of [[Wikipedia:Halloween|Halloween]] happens in Fall, and Snowflake Day, a generic winter holiday (in lieu of a specific holiday like [[Wikipedia:Christmas|Christmas]]), which takes place in winter.

Removing her skeletal appearance using cheats or mods results in a Sim that resembles the Grim Reaper{{Vgversion|TS3:SN}}, or a light-skinned woman with long red hair and green eyes{{Vgversion|TS4:PS}}.
