There are four seasons: [[spring]], [[summer]], [[fall]], and [[winter]]. In ''[[The Sims 2: Seasons]]'', each season is five days long, making a seasonal year twenty days long. In ''[[The Sims 3: Seasons]]'', each season is seven days by default, though players can adjust each length of the season from 3 to 28 days. In ''[[The Sims 4: Seasons]]'', each season is also seven days by default, and players can set the length of all seasons to be either 1 week, 2 weeks, or 4 weeks. [[Sim]]s' moods will change with the weather. Each season has a slightly different color cast, (e.g., winter is more desaturated, and fall has warmer, reddish tone). Weather also affects what festival is occurring on the [[festival grounds]].{{Vgversion\|TS3:S}} ''[[The Sims 4: Snowy Escape]]'' also included snowfall in [[Mt. Komorebi]] and does not require ''The Sims 4: Seasons'' for this snow to appear. In ''The Sims 2: Seasons'', each [[neighborhood]] and [[sub-neighborhood]] has a separate season chooser, which allows the player to determine which seasons will occur there, and what order they will occur in. By default, a neighborhood will start in summer, followed by fall, winter, and then spring. [[Riverblossom Hills]] is exceptional, as it uses the order of winter, winter, spring, and fall. Line 19 ⟶ 20: In ''The Sims 4: Seasons'', the length of seasons chosen in the settings affects all seasons, and players can not choose what seasons may occur in a neighborhood and their order. When starting a new save, players can choose to start from one of the four seasons, and when done so, they will start going through to cycle of spring, summer, fall, and winter. Weather also appears in [[The Sims 3 (console)#Nintendo Wii only features\|''The Sims 3'' for Wii]]. The seasons work the same way and have the same characteristics as in real life. It is featured in ''[[The Urbz: Sims in the City]]'', [[The Sims 2 (console)\|''The Sims 2'' for console]], [[The Sims 2 Pets (console)\|''The Sims 2 Pets'' for console]], and ''[[The Sims 2 Castaway~~\|''The Sims 2 Castaway~~]]'' for console]]. When it rains, Sims will put an umbrella or newspaper over their head. ==Type of weather== Line 34 ⟶ 33: * Unpredictable{{Vgversion\|TS4:S}} * Strange weather{{Vgversion\|TS4:SV}} * Monsoons {{Vgversion\|TS4:IL}}{{Vgversion\|TS4:S}} * Mystical Weather {{Vgversion\|TS4:ROM}} * Acid Rain{{Vgversion\|TS4:EL}} * Snowy Thunderstorm{{Vgversion\|TS4:SE}} Precipitation may affect Sims and their environment in various ways, and can also affect the [[temperature]]. For example, puddles can form when rain falls or snow or hail melt. Rain may water the garden plants{{Vgversion\|TS2:S}} and cause Sims to get soaked if they don't use an umbrella.{{Vgversion\|TS3:S}}{{Vgversion\|TS4:S}} Heavy hail can be damaging to Sims. Line 46 ⟶ 47: In ''[[The Sims 4: Realm of Magic]]'', there is a weather type only found in [[The Magic Realm]] called Mystical Weather. Mystical weather is an extreme display of cosmic colors around the realm and is the only weather that the realm experiences. In ''[[The Sims 4: Eco Lifestyle]]'', there is a weather type only found when a neighborhood has reached industrial on the [[Eco footprint\|eco footprint]]. Acid rain causes Sims to become sick and uncomfortable while it lasts. In ''[[The Sims 4: Snowy Escape]]'', there is a weather type only found randomly in snowy climates. Thundersnowstorms are a mixture of thunderstorms and a blizzard instead of rain. There is also a chance where the snow on a ground will turn to icy conditions making walking, sledding, skiing, and other movement activities more likely to fail and fall. ==The Sims== Line 216 ⟶ 221: \|Spring \|- \|[[Riverblossom Hills]] {{Vgversion\|TS2:S}} \|Winter \|Spring Line 222 ⟶ 227: \|Winter \|- \|[[Twikkii Island]] {{Vgversion\|TS2:BV}} \| style="text-align:center " colspan="4" \| Summer \|- \|[[Takemizu Village]] {{Vgversion\|TS2:BV}} \| style="text-align:center " colspan="2" \| Spring \| style="text-align:center " colspan="2" \| Fall \|- \|[[Three Lakes]] {{Vgversion\|TS2:BV}} \| style="text-align:center " colspan="2" \| Fall \| style="text-align:center " colspan="2" \| Winter \|- \|[[Desiderata Valley]] {{Vgversion\|TS2:FT}} \|Summer \|Fall Line 239 ⟶ 244: \|Spring \|- \|[[Belladonna Cove]] {{Vgversion\|TS2:AL}} \|Summer \|Fall Line 245 ⟶ 250: \|Spring \|- \|[[Palace of Neverending Light]] {{Vgversion\|TS2:AL}} \| style="text-align:center " colspan="4" \| Spring \|- \|[[Fortress of Eternal Darkness]] {{Vgversion\|TS2:AL}} \| style="text-align:center " colspan="4" \| Fall \|} Line 263 ⟶ 268: ;Activities During spring, Sims can play in the puddles, pick wildflowers or visit the activities in the Spring Festival. The Spring Festival will have objects dedicated to romance such as love tester machines, kissing booths and so on. Sims can also choose to take part in the egg hunt during Love Day, a holiday dedicated to love and romance. Sims who search for easter eggs may find a [[Mysterious Mr. Gnome]] or a Fabegé stylized egg. Sims may also dance at the festival to become king or queen. ;Weather Springtime generally remains temperate, not too hot nor too cold for Sims to be comfortable. Spring usually comes with plenty of showers, which will get Sims soaked, so it is advisable to obtain an umbrella (found in Buy Mode) to avoid the negative moodlet and puddles inside houses and lots. Lightning is also frequent in Spring, so be careful with Sims when they are outdoors, especially if they have the unlucky [[Trait (The Sims 3)\|trait]]. ;Flowers and allergies Line 398 ⟶ 405: TS4 Winter.png </gallery> ==The Sims 4: Snowy Escape== Snow is included as a weather type in ''[[The Sims 4: Snowy Escape]]'' and exclusively appears in the world of [[Mt. Komorebi]] for players without ''[[The Sims 4: Seasons]]''. Without ''Seasons'', other weather types do not happen in Mt. Komorebi. ==The Sims Castaway Stories==
