The Sims™ 4 Seasons for Windows

Bring seasonal weather into your family-friendly game

Seasons for The Sims 4 is an expansion that introduces changing weather and seasonal celebrations to the game world. Rather than a static backdrop, each time of year brings different environmental effects and community activities, from snowy winters to warm summers and everything between. This pack is designed to enrich family play with holidays, outdoor events, and climate-driven interactions.

Key additions in the expansion

• Live New Year broadcast events and community celebrations that let Sims ring in the year together.
• Natural phenomena such as wind, thunder, and visually striking lightning that affect the neighborhood.
• New decorative roof trims and seasonal décor to help your homes match the climate.
• Outdoor items like sunbathing mats and kiddie pools so family members can enjoy warm days.
• Frozen waterways during cold snaps, allowing ice-related activities on lakes and rivers.
• Food options including a stall with fresh produce and new recipes Sims can try.
• The return of seasonal traditions like egg hunts and other holiday mini-events.
• Parental interactions for toddlers, including assistance with bathing in small pools and related care actions.

Ways to use seasonal mechanics in gameplay

• Host summertime pool parties or lazy sunbathing afternoons using the new outdoor gear.
• Turn ponds and rivers into skating rinks during winter to create a snowy family story.
• Embrace autumn festivities by recruiting the harvest-themed scarecrow and celebrating with neighbors.
• Grow a gardening-focused career: cultivate flowers, arrange bouquets, or become a botanist.
• Throw seasonal gatherings with gift exchanges, unique traditions, and visiting guests.
• Take advantage of rainy springs for romantic moments and spontaneous “spring fling” interactions.
• Dress Sims for the weather with new outfits to either keep cool in heat waves or bundle up for snow.
