 Great Product February 4, 2008

I ordered this game thinking I would have to send it back, for I have had bad luck with Amazon in the past. But my Sims 2 game works fine. The downloading process was a little confusing, but the outcome is great. The game plays wonderful. I would definitely buy from this guy again.
 Great Addition to The Sims 2 Family! January 3, 2008

The Sims 2 Seasons adds A LOT to gameplay! I as fairly disappointed after the release of The Sims 2 University - it lacked many objects and new gameplay. Seasons has both! After getting Sims fed, rested, and to the bathroom, there is usually very little time for them to do much else. Thats why this expansion pack is great - the seasons come naturally, as if in real life. Maxis promised us Seasons in the making of The Sims 2 game, and they definitely delivered on this one! There are dozens of new items, wallpapers, flooring, roofs, clothing, and even some new hairstyles. Sims can now play Marco-Polo in the pool, and go fishing in ponds! This expansion pack is a little more graphic-intense than the others, so make sure you are running at least the minimum specs on your computer. People I have talked to (as well as myself), don't appear to be having too much trouble with game lag after installing this expansion pack. I highly recommend Seasons, as one of, if not THE best expansion pack for The Sims 2 genre.
 Beware the Spontaneous Combustion December 5, 2007

Seasons is the bane of my existence! I recently visited a friend, who had the Sims 2 game, and was immediately addicted. Therefore I bought the game myself with a few of the expansions that sounded interesting to me, including seasons.
Upon playing the game, owning it less than a week, I've already had two sims die because they were in the hot tub and it suddenly burst into flames. Further research shows that sims have become more temperature sensitive and can die from heatstroke, freezing to death, and spontaneous combustion. While these in themselves are somewhat amusing additions, it is the ease with which they happen that makes it annoying! Apparently the windows version has a patch to help with the frequency of these occurences, but I was unable to tell if there was an equivalent patch for the mac version OR if the mac version had been released later enough that they were already corrected. Either way, it happens with some frequency in the game and if you were used to playing without, it can come as an unpleasant surprise.
Lightning is also a danger as it is apt to set on fire any trees around your home, inciting sims to panic. I've also read that sims can die from hail. It seems with Sims 2 Seasons, danger is always lurking around the corner. To top off my current annoyance, I bought this last week at 34.99 on amazon, only to have it drop to 19.99 (presumably for the holidays, I suppose).
One thing I did enjoy was the ability to put away leftovers, which I believe (not positive) as an addition from this EP. The sims is addictive, if not frustrating, amusing if not irritating.
Sims 2 Seasons Review from an Avid Simmer October 31, 2007
5 out of 5 found this review helpful
I love Sims. I have the University, Nightlife, and now the Seasons expansion pack. I have been playing since the original Sims. Seasons adds a great element to the game because, finally, there is a change to the outdoor environment. The one drawback from the game is that it is slower... sims take a few seconds to change their coats if they are going outdoors or to change into their pajamas. Load time for lots is a bit longer as well. However, the pros outweigh the cons. If you were getting bored with how easy sims were before and you need a challenge, this is a good expansion pack. Like University, it takes some time to learn how to balance your sim in the new environment. I love the new careers and the new objects. It's interesting to teach your sim to garden and there are so many facets to learn to manipulate. Another great sim game!
Fun game - love the seasons! October 20, 2007
