Riverblossom Hills
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.
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. 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.
PlantSim
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.
