Weather (game mechanic): Difference between revisions

During the winter, Sims can build relationships with family members at a heightened rate. 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 for too long. 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 both toddlers and dogs[[dog]]s{{vgversion|TS2:P}} can eat the snow (requires ''[[The Sims 2: Pets|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." Outdoor flowers will become dormant during the Winter, and may die. Garden plants and orchard trees will become dormant unless they are in a greenhouse. AlsoAs a rule, Sims will automatically change into seasonal wear, but this may not happen consistently.

* Sims can turn blue and freeze if they become too cold (hot chocolate and other warm things can alleviate this), which evidentlycan eventually leads to death.

<blockquote class=note>If a Sim's home doesn't have a [[Roof#The Sims 2|roof]] it will start snowing inside! Sims will be affected by the cold temperature, if this happens.</blockquote>
