Must buy EP !
Again the title explains for itself...seasons!.....the first time ANY other Sims game has ever had so instantly you know your gonna get something different and expect it all the time......So you get Spring , Summer , Fall and ofcourse Winter......these seasons are all playable during your playing time and can be changed all the time so you can have for your first season Spring and then Winter then Winter again and then Fall and have no Summer! which really doesn't sound worthwile but in the end you'll enjoy it!
There are a couple new "add ons" if you will to the game, new carrer paths (law , education , music , adventure , gamer and journalism) which add a whole new depth but they feel a little rushed. In other games you would have a nice long well done on promotion and now they would have around 4 lines saying what your next job is and feels pretty lame to say the least.
Also thier is new badges your sims can earn which are gardening and fishing and these ones are what just the master ordered they really are easy to achieve rather than waiting hours on end for your sims to work a cashier e.t.c. so thse ones really help you through the game and is easy!
Problem with this game again the fact that you will only play this game for about round 2-3 weeks or more! and stop and wait for the next EP where as with Sims 2 you would play it non-stop because it was OH MY GOSH!! the graphics , gameplay , wants/fears! you know..
Maxis and EA have put together another good expansion pack and that's the thing so far we haven't seen a GREAT or superb EP for a long time and will be interesting to see where maxis and EA go from here!.
