[[File:The Sims 2 Seasons Cover.jpg|thumb|link=The Sims 2: Seasons|right]]'''''[[The Sims 2: Seasons]]''''' (also known as '''''TS2 S''''', '''''TS2 SNS''''', or simply '''''Seasons''''') is the fifth [[expansion pack]] for ''[[The Sims 2]]''. The game was released on March 1, 2007 for North America and March 2, 2007 for Europe. This expansion pack served as the inspiration for ''[[The Sims 3: Seasons]]''.
''Seasons'' introduced the [[Riverblossom Hills]] neighborhood, as well as the concept of [[Weather (game mechanic)|weather]] and seasonal cycles. Sims must now be mindful of what to wear outdoors depending on the season, and monitor both outdoor and internal [[temperature]] in order to stay comfortable. [[Gardening]] was also enhanced, and [[fishing]] was introduced to the game, allowing Sims to grow and catch their own food. Sims that use too many pesticides whilst gardening may become a [[PlantSim]].

[[File:Ep8_icon_2212348.png|left|link=The Sims 3: Seasons]][[File:The Sims 3 Seasons Limited Edition.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
The pack's main feature is the reintroduction of [[Weather (game mechanic)|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.
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.
