What are the seasons?

A season is a five sim day period with varying weather and tempature. The seasons are four seasons just like the real world. Spring, Summer, Fall, and Winter. During these seasons, several things can occur:

  • Daily temperature will be within a fixed seasonal range
  • The probability of different kinds of precipitation changes.
  • Your Sims may experience changes in need decay, skill speed, relationship effects, etc.
  • The yield of each kind of fruit or vegetable varies based on the season it's planted or harvested.
  • Ambient sounds change to reflect the season's theme
  • Daylight takes on a distinct quality for the time of year
  • Orchard trees may go dormant and stop producing fruit
  • Non-fruit trees may change color and drop their leaves (fall) or go dormant (winter)
  • Flowerbeds may go dormant (winter) or grow buds for their approaching flowers (spring)

Setting the Season

Yes, you can control the seasons. All summer or all winter? Or have the seasons change just like the real thing. It's up to you. In the upper left hand corner of the Neighborhood view you'll see a button with flowers on it. This is the Seasons Chooser and, you guessed it, it controls the seasons. Click on it to set your seasons up. When the seasons chooser opens up you'll see it consists of four sections. The upper left quadrant is the "first" season for any lot you open for the first time after installing Seasons. The quadrants progress clockwise from this point changing to each season in its turn. Click on any of the four buttons to select which season will occur. In this way you can set them all to summer or winter. Or have two seasons of summer followed by two of winter. It's completely up to you.

Note: sub neighborhoods are not affected by this. You set them independently of the base neighborhood.
