;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]].
