During the winter, it may snow or even hail down onto a [[residential lot]], covering everything outside with snow. Sims are able to freeze or catch a cold if left out in the snow too long. A [[child]], [[toddler]], or [[baby]] Sim may be taken away by the [[Social Worker]] after they become too cold. The player will receive a warning before this happens though. Sims are also able to have snowball fights, make snow angels, and build snowmen. Toddlers can also play in the snow and dogs can eat the snow (requires ''[[Pets]]''). On some days, if the snow is too heavy, Sim children or teenagers that attend [[school]] may be able to have a "snow day." Also, if you are wanting to grow plants, don't bother because they won't grow during the Winter unless the lot has a green house. Sims will automatically change into seasonal wear.

A side note, if your Sim's home doesn't have a roof you will definitely notice, as it will start snowing inside! Sims will be affected by the cold temperature, if this happens.

During the Spring, it may rain, snow a little, and finally have sunshine. Sims are able to splash in puddles, grow plants (it is still cold so beware!), harvest fruits, and much more! The Sims will still change into their Seasonal clothing though.

* Note: If you have ''[[Seasons]]'' and ''[[Apartment Life]]'' is installed, the [[Palace of Neverending Light]] will constantly be in [[Spring]].

During the Summer, Sims may be able to build relationships quicker and easier. Sims can have water balloon fights or splash in the pool. There is a chance of catching heatstroke if your Sim is overheated. Again, a [[child]], [[toddler]], or [[baby]] Sim may be taken away by the Social Worker if this happens.

Line 26: Line 25:
During the fall, the temperature begins to drop and it may begin to snow or rain. During this time, Sims are able to maximize their skills easier and faster than the other seasons. Leaves begin to fall, and of course Sims are able to rake them. After raking them, Sims may jump into the pile of leaves and play with them or even burn the leaves. Sims also begin to change back into Outerwear once outside at the end of Autumn. With this comes along a chance of catching a cold, but not freezing to death.
