===Spring===
{{all

}}
[[File:TS4-Seasons Spring Icon.png|40px|left]]Spring is the first season of the year. Rain showers and thunderstorms are likely to occur in this season, as well as occasional snow falls alongside sunny days. The snow of last winter will melt away on the first day and trees along with bushes will start to regain their leaves. Roller skating rinks and food stands will also appear in various worlds. Love Day is the pre-made [[holiday]] for this season.
;Activities
During spring, Sims can play in puddles created by the rain, be open to more outdoor activities due to warmer temperatures and enjoy the activities of Love Day. Love Day centers around love, encouraging Sims to do various romantic interactions, give flowers and go on dates. The spring season is also a great time for Sims to start/continue their [[Gardening (The Sims 4)|gardening]] skill and career, as well develop their [[flower arranging]] skill.
;Weather
The weather during spring generally consists of rainy and sunny days, with the temperatures usually staying in cool and cold levels, with probable warm temperatures later in the season. Umbrellas are necessary for Sims who do not want to get soaked. Sims with 500 aspiration points can also buy the "Waterproof" trait from the [[Aspiration reward (The Sims 4)|aspiration reward store]], which will make them resist rain. Occasional snowy weather is also a possibility during early spring.

===Summer===

}}
[[File:TS4-Seasons Summer Icon.png|40px|left]]Summer is the second season of the year. Temperatures will rise, prompting Sims to change into warm weather wear. Heatwaves are very prominent in this season, which can kill unprepared Sims. Summer mostly consist of dominating sunny and cloudy weather, alongside occasional rain and thunderstorms. Water balloon buckets, roller skating rinks and lemonade stands will also appear throughout various worlds. Summer is the only season to not have a pre-made holiday.
;Activities
During summer, Sims can swim in pools, have water balloon fights, play with sprinklers, use skating rinks and drink lemonade. Toddlers can also cool down in kiddie pools. Summer is another good season for Sims to grow their gardens in. Beekeeping is also another activity that Sims can do during summer.
;Weather
The weather during summer will most of the time be very sunny and hot. Cloudy and rainy weather is also very probable, alongside thunderstorms, though not as commonly as in spring and fall. Heatwaves are also very common during summer. They produce heat hazes and can cause death by overheating to Sims who are not wearing the proper clothing. Sims with 500 aspiration points can buy the "Heat Acclimation" trait from the aspiration rewards store, which will make most of the hot effects of summer more enjoyable. The "Heatproof" trait will make Sims completely resisted against hot weather.

===Autumn/Fall===
{{all
|name = Fall
|image = [[File:TS4Seasons Autumn activities.png|235px]]
|caption= A child playing in a leaf pile.
}}
[[File:TS4-Seasons Autumn Icon.png|40px|left]]Fall is the third season of the year. Leaves from various trees and bushes will start changing their color and the temperatures will begin to drop. Cloudy and rainy days are most prominent during fall, with occasional sunny days and thunderstorms in between. Snowfalls are also possible, but the snow will melt away after a short time. Harvestfest is the pre-made holiday for this season.
;Activities
During fall, Sims can start raking leaves and later choose to either burn them or play in them. If the leaf pile is big enough, older Sims can also [[WooHoo]] in them. During heavy rainfalls, piles of mud will start appearing all over the neighborhood, allowing Sims to play in them or have mud fights with one another. Harvestfest centers around feasting and being thankful to each other. Sims can have a grand meal in the household and decorate their house with orange colors. Gnomes will also start appearing in the house and Sims can please them or anger them, with the consequences being either positive or negative to the household.
;Weather
The weather during fall mostly consists of cool temperatures and heavy rainfalls. Later in the season temperatures will drop to cold, though warm days are still a possibility. Cloudy and windy days are more common then sunny, and rain is very prominent with occasional thunderstorms. Snowy weather is also a possibility during late fall and can happen very commonly, depending on the world.

===Winter===
{{all
|name = Winter

|caption= Sims ice skating.
}}
[[File:TS4-Seasons Winter Icon.png|40px|left]]Winter is the fourth and final season of the year. Snow will start forming around the neighborhoods of worlds through heavy snowfalls and blizzards, and temperatures will drop to very cold, forcing Sims to use their outerwear clothing every time they go outside. Ice skating rinks and hot chocolate stalls will also start appearing around the worlds. Winterfest and New Year's Eve are the two pre-made holidays for this season.
;Activities
During winter, Sims can enjoy various snow related activities such as making [[Snowman|snowpals]], snow angels, having snowball fights and shoving snow to other Sim's faces. Toddlers can play in the snow as well. Piles of snow will appear throughout neighborhoods and Sims can shovel them up to possibly gain some collectibles. Winterfest is one of the two holidays of winter and is centered around decorating, having a festive spirit, opening and giving presents, as well as the visit of [[Santa Claus|Father Winter]]. New Year's Eve on the other hand heavily focuses on partying, making resolutions and welcoming the new year.
;Weather
The weather during winter heavily consists of snowfalls and blizzards, with occasional sunny and cloudy days also being possible. The temperatures will often plummet to cold and freezing, making the chances for Sims to die from freezing much higher, if they aren't well prepared. Sims with 500 aspiration points can buy the "Cold Acclimation" trait from the aspiration reward store, which will make the cold temperatures more enjoyable while still feeling the effects. The "Iceproof" trait, however, will make Sims completely resisted against cold weather.

==The Sims Castaway Stories==
''[[The Sims Castaway Stories]]'' is also a game that features weather. It features normal, hot weather in one season, and rain with thunder and [[Precipitation#Hail|hail]] in the second one. Weather also affects a Sim's body temperature in ''The Sims Castaway Stories''. Sims can change weather using the story reward object, the weather machine, which was initially meant for [[Winford Rhinehart]] so that he could take over the island.
