Simpedia: The Sims 3: Seasons (Limited Edition)

Introduction

Have your Sims take a swim in the ocean on a hot summer day, bob for apples in the autumn leaves, test their snowboarding skill on the half pipe or welcome spring showers with a walk in the rain and a colorful umbrella. Each new season brings all-new activities, like soccer, and big seasonal festivals and celebrations. Your Sims can pucker up at the kissing booth for the spring festival, or see what Halloween surprises await in the haunted house. Dress for the weather with seasonal fashions including raincoats, snow gear, and even umbrellas. With all kinds of new foods, décor and weather effects, your Sims can enjoy the bounty and beauty of the ever-changing seasons and play with life like never before.

Features

• Dress for the weather:
  Outfit your Sim in new styles for the season, including snow gear, wetsuits, raincoats, umbrellas and new Halloween costumes!
• Delight your Sims with new activities for every season:
  Whether building an intimate igloo, carving a scary Jack o’ lantern, taking a plunge off the diving board or setting off all-new fireworks, your Sim can always find new things to do throughout the year.
• Join the fun with seasonal festivals:
  Sims can get in a snowball fight at the annual winter festival, get their faces painted at the summer festival, whoop it up at the spring dance, or bob for apples during the fall festival.
• Experience the joy and challenge of changing weather:
  New weather effects and Sim reactions capture the power and beauty of nature! Sims can get a tan, be struck by lightning or catch a cold.
• Bring the outdoors inside:
  Your Sim can now learn the recipe for pumpkin pie or style their home with new furniture and décor. There are a host of new items to ring in each season. Get a tanning booth in time for summer, or ring in the holiday spirit with house lights and decorations.
• Welcome mysterious visitors:
  New weather patterns aren’t the only things appearing in the sky! Befriend an alien visitor and use their UFO to abduct a neighbor, invade a community lot, or travel to the stars.

OWN THE SIMS™ 3 SEASONS AND SUPERNATURAL TO UNLOCK ADDED GAMEPLAY

Play with both The Sims 3 Supernatural and The Sims 3 Seasons and unlock an exclusive magical item - the Weather Stone. When both expansion packs are installed, this mystical object will appear on a community lot somewhere in the current world*. Witches, vampires, werewolves, and fairies from The Sims 3 Supernatural can then awaken the Weather Stone and summon their own magical weather any time of year.

Weather Stone Features

Unlock these supernatural storm patterns when you own both The Sims 3 Supernatural and The Sims 3 Seasons.

• Bewitching Rain
  When a witch casts this mischievous spell using the weather stone, a green rain will fall on the entire world. Any Sim caught outdoors will dance wildly and act crazy, even though they are magically prevented from getting wet!
• Eclipsing Fog
  Vampires can conjure this spell to cause a chilly fog to form over the town and cool even the hottest summer day. It also makes it easier for your fanged friends to find willing snacks.
• Reviving Sprinkle
  Who says rainy days have to be dreary? When fairies create this spring shower of blossoms, all the gardens in the Sims' world are instantly revived and cared for. Of course, no fairy magic would be complete without a rainbow at the end!
• Hunter's Storm
  Werewolves are great hunters to begin with, but this magical storm gives them even more of an edge. Collectable items fall with the snow and your lupine Sims have a much better chance of sniffing them out as they stalk through the icy drifts.

* Weather Stone will appear in all worlds, except for those from The Sims 3 World Adventures.
