{{Main|Weather (game mechanic)|Precipitation}}
''The Sims 4: Seasons'' introduces weather and seasons as its 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,
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.

==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).
* 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>
