New Features
Seasons
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.
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.
