It was announced on May 24, 2018 and released on June 22, 2018.<ref>https://simsvip.com/2018/05/24/official-leak-the-sims-4-seasons-is-the-next-expansion-pack/</ref> The console version was released on November 13, 2018. It is a spiritual successor to ''[[The Sims 2: Seasons]]'' and ''[[The Sims 3: Seasons]]''. The expansion pack reintroduces [[Precipitation\|weather]] and [[Weather (game mechanic)\|seasons]], along with new features such as [[holiday]]s and a [[calendar]]. Various other features, such as [[temperature]]s, new [[career]]s and new [[skill]]s are also included. Line 21 ⟶ 26: ==Official description== ~~[[File:The Sims 4 Seasons Logo.png\|left\|120px]]~~'''Year-round fun for your Sims''' Add weather to your Sims’ lives to tell new stories, enjoy seasonal activities and celebrate heartfelt holidays with The Sims™ 4 Seasons. Make the most out of the weather all year round, from crisp snowfalls to sweltering heat – every world is affected by seasons in unique ways. Create a winter story with ice skating, befriend a magical scarecrow at the fall harvest, share a spring fling during a downpour or host a summer pool party. Gather friends and family to celebrate holidays complete with traditions, gifts and special guests. Stay warm or keep cool with all-new outfits to brave the elements. Even begin a blossoming gardening career as a botanist or by crafting floral arrangements! Line 38 ⟶ 44: [[File:Seasonsrain.jpg\|thumb\|300px\|Sims experiencing the rain.]] {{Main\|Weather (game mechanic)\|Precipitation}} ''The Sims 4: Seasons'' introduces weather and seasons as itits primary core mechanics. The various new forms of weather allow Sims to live their everyday lives in brand new ways. The four seasons of spring, summer, fall and winter also shape the entire lives of Sims, allowing for new activities, festivities and more. During summer, heatwaves and hot [[temperature]]s are prominent, while in winter snowfalls are an everyday occurrence alongside freezing temperatures. Spring and fall are the seasons with heavy rainfalls and either cold or warm temperatures, depending on the season. All [[world]]s have their own unique climates with different weather patterns, ~~varying from~~including ~~rain~~rainy, cloudy, sunny and snowy. During rainfalls Sims are able to jump on water puddles created by the rain, or save money by taking showers in them outside. Rainy weather mostly happens during spring and fall, but is also probable during summer. Thunderstorms may appear as well, giving Sims [[tense]] emotions and lighting all over the neighborhood. Snow is the equivalent of rain during winter and usually happens when the [[temperature]] reaches cold. Snow will land on the ground, roofs and outdoor furniture and Sims can create snow angels and [[Snowman\|snowpals]]. Cloudy and sunny weather appear on all four seasons and usually only have environmental changes. Worlds also have different weather for their current season. For example, in [[Oasis Springs]] there might be no snow in winter, while [[Willow Creek]] would be covered in snow. Temperatures are another big mechanic introduced in ''The Sims 4: Seasons''. Temperature adapts to the current weather and season, and have various effects on the environment and Sims themselves. When temperatures become too hot, Sims will start wearing their hot weather clothing, or else they will die from overheating. Heatwaves are also prominent during summer, that are deadly to Sims who are not prepared. During winter, cold temperatures tend to happen, with the opposite effects of hot temperatures. Sims will start wearing their winter clothing and [[Fishing (The Sims 4)\|fishing]], for example, becomes unavailable. Line 54 ⟶ 60: [[File:TS4 Seasons Calender UI2.jpeg\|thumb\|300px\|The complete calendar UI.]] {{Main\|Calendar}} The calendar is also featured in ''The Sims 4: Seasons'' and instead of being an object, it is an embedded feature located next to the phone icon on the live mode user interface. The calendar includes the upcoming weather forecasts, days, birthdays and the four pre-made seasonal holidays alongside the ones created by the player. Players can add custom holidays, delete or edit pre-loaded ones, or manually replicate them so that they occur on a different date. Players can also use the calendar to schedule various [[Party\|social events]] and invite other Sims to such. Players can specify both the date and time of the event. To aid players with scheduling events, the calendar will show when the household Sims will be at work and school. ==New additions== Line 63 ⟶ 69: * [[Christmas tree]] * Flower arranging table * [[Food ~~stalls~~stall]]s * Holiday decorations box * Kiddie pool Line 73 ⟶ 79: * [[Snowman\|Snowpals]] * [[Sprinkler (gardening)\|Sprinklers]] * [[Swing\|Swings]]~~sets~~ * [[Thermostat]] * Umbrella racks Line 87 ⟶ 93: :''Iceproof Sims aren't negatively affected by cold temperatures and enjoy the cold.'' * Waterproof :''Waterproof Sims do not get wet in the rain.'' * Storm Chaser :''Storm Chaser Sims love stormy weather and thrive in terrifying conditions.'' Line 103 ⟶ 109: '''New [[Careers]]''' [[~~Gardening~~Gardener (career)\|~~Gardening~~Gardener]] [[Scout (career)\|Scout]] <small>([[afterschool activity]])</small> Line 119 ⟶ 125: '''New Types of [[Death]]''' * Death by ~~Overheating~~Flowers▼ * Death by Freezing ▲* Death by Overheating * Death by Lightning * Death by Overheating '''Other New Features''' Line 128 ⟶ 135: * Holiday crafts * Grand meals * [[Gift giving]] * Singing holiday songs * Making snow angels Line 138 ⟶ 145: ==Price== ''Seasons'' was priced at $39.99 USD ~~and~~, £29.99 GBP and $51.99 CAD at launch, the same as the original pricing of an expansion pack for ''The Sims 3''. Expansion pack prices for ''The Sims 4'' are intended to be similar to prices for ''The Sims 3'' expansion packs in most locations. ==Trivia== * ''Seasons'' is the first expansion pack to share the same name across three generations of ''The Sims'' (''[[The Sims 2: Seasons]]'', ''[[The Sims 3: Seasons]]'', and ''The Sims 4: Seasons''). * Unlike the previous weather-themed expansion packs, ''Seasons'' does not feature variable [[snow]] accumulation, [[hail]] or sunburns. Moreover, ''The Sims 4: Seasons'' does not feature any new lifestates. Sunburns later returned in ''[[The Sims 4: Island Living]]''. * Unlike previous iterations, ''Seasons'' does not allow users to customize the order of seasons or make a season year-round. However, users can choose the length for each season (7, 14, or 28 days). Additionally, Sims may upgrade the [[weather-controlling machine]] to change the current season to the next scheduled one. * The pack includes some recolors of objects from ''[[The Sims 4: Spooky Stuff]]'' and ''[[The Sims 4: Holiday Celebration Pack]]''. This is first expansion pack for ''The Sims 4'' to not feature any new [[world]]s. SimGuruKate has stated on Twitter that the developers instead wanted to "focus entirely on making the existing worlds (and all their neighborhoods), as gorgeous as possible for all four seasons."<ref name="SimGuruKate">https://twitter.com/SimGuruKate/status/999732859031056384</ref> Line 151 ⟶ 158: \|-\|Images = <gallery> PatchyTheStrawMan.gif\|A teaser from before ''The Sims 4: Seasons'' was officially announced.<ref>https://twitter.com/TheSims/status/999334376247717888?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw&ref_url=http%3A%2F%2Fsimscommunity.info%2F2018%2F05%2F23%2Fthe-sims-4-teasing-new-content%2F</ref> Sims 4 Seasons render.png\|The menu screen, when ''Seasons'' is the latest installed content pack.
