Customer Reviews

A Solid Sims 2 Fan
I have this expansion pack for the Sims 2 series. No Sims 2 Collection is complete without a single expansion pack. The best part about this pack is the changing seasons that the game simulates. I like the Spring and Summer seasons myself with the rain and thunderstorms. If your thinking of buying this pack for your Sims 2 collection, go for it because it gives the game that extra boost in gameplay. One of my family members said that they wanted it for their collection thus I bought it again.

I expected more...
So as with The Sims 2 Pets, this expansion to me does not add up to the lag time and bugs it can give your Sims 2 program.

Overall, I like the idea and I really do like watching the weather change, but the whole thing of having to change your clothes to go out in the rain and also getting struck by lighting so often?? What the heck is with that anyway??

To me, it is a fun idea but not the best execution of it, and normally I love Sims games and the expansions, but this one and Pets, both I was disappointed with overall.

Many great additions to the Sims2. What did I do without this?
I love this expansion -- this is my favorite expansion so far.

Besides the obvious addition of seasons, this expansion is PACKED with goodies. First of all, building tools. You can build roofs diagonally now. If you're a big Sims2 builder you'll love that. You can build greenhouses so you can grow all year round and avoid pests. You can now have different tiles in the pool walls, and make them curved. There's a pool slide too (I know I've been wanting that for a while now).

Now for my new favorite activities.... YOU CAN FISH IN PONDS on your sims' lots, and then you can sell, eat, or mount your fish on the wall! You can grow vegetables and fruit, and sell or eat this also. It even has varying nutritional content that can boost your Sims' learning potential. But beware.. spend too much time in the garden and you might become a plant sim... complete with green skin and plant-like hair.

Leaves fall from trees, snow comes and goes, sims bundle up to go outside or get sunburned in the sun. This expansion doubles the fun of Sims 2 and I highy recommend it.
