[[File:Paranormal career.png|left]]The Paranormal career is focused on understanding the mysteries of the universe. It requires college education. Therefore, teens and elders can't have part-time job. [[Tech]]s are likely to work as Paranormal. The reward object is the [[Resurrect-O-Nomitron]], available when promoted to '''Medium'''. It can be used to resurrect dead Sims.

The Sims 2: Seasons[1] (Sometimes spelled asThe Sims 2: Seasons, TS2 S or simply Seasons) is the fifth expansion pack in The Sims 2. The following flyer promoting the expansion pack shipped with The Sims 2: Pets. It followed the same route set by its predecessors; it contains more than 125 new items and more intricate gameplay options. The game was released March 1st 2007 for North America and March 2nd 2007 for Europe.
Head outdoors for year-round fun with your Sims! New seasonal activities await your Sims including snowball fights, chasing fireflies, jumping in leaf piles, and more. Strengthen family ties in Winter, let romance bloom in Spring, deepen the bonds of friendship in Summer, or fast-track your career in Fall. Your Sims can now explore new careers and master new talents throughout the year, but beware freezing, heatstroke, sneezing, and other unexpected weather effects! Dress your Sims appropriately or face the consequences!
Riverblossom Hills is a new neighborhood shipped with The Sims 2: Seasons. Its main theme is a countryside-theme, where most houses are decorated with country theme and lots of them have gardening area. This little town also has unique seasonal progression, which is Winter, Winter, Spring, and Fall, with no Summer. The neighborhood features a few community lot, one of which contains an ice skating rink.
Season is now the part of gameplay. Seasons can be set individually for each neighborhood from Season Chooser. The Season Chooser determines what seasons is allowed to be present in the neighborhood. There are 4 seasons; Spring, Summer, Fall, and Winter. Each season has its own benefit and uniqueness, nourishing the gameplay and storyline.
Weather
Weather adds more realism as an occurrence of precipitation. Weather also determines whether the outdoor is cool, warm, too hot, or too cold. The precipitation also occurs unpredictably, making every day is not the same day. Is it safe enough to play when there's no hail outside, or are the crops not overwatered by the recent rainstorms; all is controlled by the weather. Sims can check the weather forecasting from TV or newspaper. When the weather is too cold, Sims wear new type of clothes, Winterwear.
Temperature
There are 2 kinds of temperature; Sims' internal temperature and outdoor temperature. The outdoor temperature controls how fast Sims' internal temperature will change whether they are doing interactions or not. Unlike outdoor temperature, Sim internal temperature is different from each Sim. Sims who are too cold from playing snow can get freezing and Sims who are too hot from drinking hot chocolate in the middle of the Summer can get heatstroke.
Gardening
Sims can now do real gardening. Fertilize plots, plant crops, water plants, tend garden, and finally, harvest the fruit. Gardening no longer only pulling the weeds and cutting the hedges. Gardening is also a way to earn money. As a reward of the hard work, Sims may join the Garden Club and earn the benefits. Harvested fruit can also be sold out or made juices.
Fishing
With Seasons, ponds are now stocked with fish. Sims can fish if the pond is big and deep enough, and the slope isn't too steep. Sims also gain Fishing Talent Badge when they fish long enough. Fish can be cooked, grilled, stocked in the fridge, or hung on the wall.
The new life state introduced in the Expansion Pack is PlantSim. PlantSim is half-Sim and half-plant. As PlantSims, Sims require water, sunlight, and love as their needs. PlantSim is a gardening master, making them acquire Gold Gardening Badge. They can talk to plants, respectively. PlantSim can spawn spore baby instead of being pregnant and give birth a normal baby. Spawned PlantBaby will eventually grow up into PlantSim.
Tree leaves will fall on Autumn and needs to be raked. Conifers and cacti won't have falling leaves.
Set hairstyle per outfit[2]. Sims can now set different hairstyles each for everyday outfit through winterwear.
Pets don't have internal temperature.
Stackable inventory[2]. Inventory no longer needs to be scrolled all the way back just to find an apple. With this, same objects will be stacked in the inventory to save the space.
New Build Mode Additions
Roof
Roof is now a crucial element as part of weather and climate changes. From now, "Indoor Space" is defined not only a room covered by walls, but there also must be roof. Being in a closed indoor will keep Sims away from cold temperature. Roof keeps the elements out, so rain and snow won't get inside house.
Any one-tile objects can now be placed on the roof. Anything; sculptures, chairs, flamingos, end tables, and even arcade machines. With this, decorative roof objects such as weather vane, lightning rod, and solar screen[TS2:MGS] can make a nice additions to the roof.
New Objects
The Ornery Rooster Weather Vane
The Flowy Floater Pond Sprinkler
"Stuff Me Silly" Scarecrow from McKraken Industries

1) Subway Musician
Simoleons are sparse and the looks from passers-by are harsh, but the hours are great. Plus, isn't contributing music to SimCitizens' commutes a community service?

Lyricist
The band hopes your lyrics will move them from one-hit wonder to rock icons. The first album wasn’t bad, but the label says it’s now or never for the band to hit it big. Keep practicing your music skills and perform plenty of concerts so the fans can hear your best stuff.
Hopefully you’re a fan of your own lyrics, because you’re now going to start singing as a Backup Vocalist. The label thinks the band needs some sweet singing to round out their rough, darker side, so once again the welfare of the group falls on your hopefully able shoulders… or should we say vocal chords?
You’re a genius with a guitar, at least in the eyes of the band and your fans. Your solos speak to people in ways no lyrics ever could. Aspiring youth all attempt to learn your solos, and adults gleefully air guitar to your songs. The Rock n Roll lifestyle has begun!
No matter what your detractors might say, you are clearly and without any doubt, a Pop Icon. Everyone is humming your tunes, and listeners constantly request them from radio stations. Your music will define this generation and all that follow, yet it’s not even time for the encore.
The most legendary concerts have your name on the ticket. The chart topping songs come from you. You’re a genius, a rebel, a Rock Star that knows nothing other than the rock, the roll, and all that comes with it. The record label hopes you’re loving the life, because they’re loving you.
As a member of the renowned quartet, you have been given the chance to really learn and grow as a musician. Handle the strings with deft fingers stay within the quartet members’ good graces, and hit all the right notes to progress in this grand concert career.

Hit Movie Composer
Without peer, [sim name] is in charge.
Having conquered the orchestral stage, the label thinks your skills are better put to use composing delightful pieces for movies on the silver screen. As a Hit Movie Composer, you work takes top billing and brings in piles of Simoleons for the label. Quite the finish, one must say!
↑ 2.02.12.2With the 10th level Rock career, instead of having regular hours, the player chooses when to perform concerts as long as it is between 3 PM and 11 PM. The amount a Sim receives from a concert depends on the Sim's mood, Guitar Skill, and how many times they've performed before.
↑ 3.03.1Autograph sessions can be held at community lots, and Sims get paid a cut of what the community lot makes during the autograph session. Autograph sessions can be held at any time, but during the afternoon more fans will show up. If a fan has to wait too long to get an autograph, it will have a negative influence on the Sim's relationship with the fan.
