"Bristling winter cold, crisp fall mornings, rainy spring afternoons, and hot
summer nights are now all a part of your neighbourhoods! Bundle your Sims up
in warm outerwear clothing or have them drink a cool, refreshing beverage to
ward off the heat. Now that the weather is changing, you never know what
quite to expect!
Send your Sims outdoors, grow fruit and vegetables in a new garden, spend the
afternoon in the pool, or heave a snowball at your neighbour! There's plenty
to do in the great outdoors!
Welcome to Seasons!"
Welcome to my, what it seems to be lucky 13th guide. This is about the game
The Sims 2 expansion pack, Seasons. It seems that EA has split Unleashed into
two, one is Pets and the Other is Seasons. It seems that FAQing is the rage at
the moment. As of writing this, I have 5 guides in progress.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[1.02] Version History
Version 0.0 [1/5/07]
The second time I've used this version number. This is basically the version
with the template on it.
Version 0.0a [2/5/07]
Adjusted Template
Version 0.1 [10/5/07]
Finally, a actual proper start.
A new neighbourhood has opened out for you to muck around. The new neighbour-
hood, in addition to Pleasantview, Strangetown and Veronaville is Riverblossom
Hills. Of course, you can just pack everyone up and send them to your own
custom neighbourhood, like me.
"Many Sims have relocated to the quiet, comfortable countryside, in the hopes
that life and family can firmly plant their roots in the middle of nowhere.
Fresh crops aren’t the only thing growing in the farming community of
Riverblossom Hills – love is in the air and many a relationship is on the
verge of blossoming. Unfortunately, problems are bound to sprout in a town
this small. Things are looking up, but hearts can always turn cold with the
onset of winter."
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[2.01] The Concept
Seasons is the main point of having Seasons. Let me rephrase. The 4 seasons of
the year is the main point of The Sims 2 : Seasons. Every single neighbourhood
can have a season and what kind of Sim game would you be playing if you don't
get to control what season you get to muck around with. There are reasons to
mess around with seasons. Think of how you can change the view of the
neighbourhood of you get to change the season around. You like snow? Well you
can have it. And also, each season has its advantages and its disadvantages.
Season will change over time and you have to adjust to each one do that you
don't get left behind. After all, since when was winter summer? This can lead
to some warm weather in winter and cold weather in summer. Anything is
possible, anything.
The first of the seasons. In this season, the sun shines for your Sims, and
by shine, replace with burns. In the season of scorching heat, you don't want
to be caught outside when it is burning. Because of the great activities that
you can do in summer, like muck around in the pool for hours on end, not only
do the body points become automatically acquired, but it is a great time for
you to catch up with friends.
In Summer, you get an extra relationship boost to all positive interactions
towards people living outside your family. It is nice to have a nice boost to
keep up to date with friends, especially if you have many friends, thank you
Open for Business. Also, it is Summer so be aware that you will heat up faster
in the sun and exercising. Your temperature will reach the red far faster
rather than other seasons, so you might need to drink some fresh juice to calm
you down. Also, during the night time, you can look out for fireflies. These
little critters can be collected by clicking the square they are on and by
catching them. They will be a miniature source of light that you can use but
after a while, the glow will be gone.
Autumn is the beginning of decay. Leaves start to fall and the Sun slowly
turns off the gas. It isn't too warm in this season and it prone to sudden
changes in weather. Of course, with the season of fall, the leaves will fall
of any trees that aren't related to producing food, quite quickly which will
soon turn to be a chore. Of course, you can rake up the leaves, giving access
to cleaning points by simply raking it. After that, you can simply dispose of
them, which is rather dull. Of course, you can compost them to give an extra
boost to your garden or you can burn them. Yes, BURN!!! Being the pyromaniac
that I am, I love burning them, but don't burn them near something that can
easily go up in flames, it isn't too much fun to have your house burn down to
your pyromaniac urges.
The main bonus of the season of Autumn is the boost to the rate that your Sims
learn their skills. You can witness this when you see them training their
skills and see the leaves flowing around the progress bar. This is extremely
handy, since it can nearly halve the time needed to learn a skill. This is
even more handy when you use it with some of the juices and learn the final
skill point to max out a skill.
Ah, the Season of Wintery Death. Winter is basically what it is, the freezing
cold. You will notice the most unique feature of Winter. The floor will
become white due to the snow. And this will be due to the weather. And since
it will, WILL, be cold in Winter, you must buy some outerwear for your Sims
to wear. This way, it will prevent them getting cold too quickly outside. Just
like Summer on the way it rapidly increased the temperature guage, Winter does
the exact opposite. Luckily, since all trees will be dormant for the winter,
you can purchase a hot chocolate maker. Just a cup of this glorious stuff will
warm your Sim up from the blue to the green.
The next thing is the snow and the chill. You will need a roof over the green
house to ensure that your plants will grow, and a roof over the head of your
own Sims. Why? Well, would you like to sleep in the snow while being tucked
in, nice and cozy, in your bed? Don't think so. Of course, it will snow and
this will make everything outside covered in snow. Of course, everything will
still work, its rather more decoration than anything else. And then there is
the opportunity to make snow angels and snowmen, if you don't have the Holiday
Pack. The look of the snowman, according to the Maxoids is depending on
whether your Sim is nice or evil. Nice will have a friendly looking snowman
while evil Sims will have a nasty looking snowman.
Another feature of the Winter Season is the penguin. This little fellow will
come along and will act as a semi-pet. You can shoo him, pet him, but can't
form a relationship with him. If you have a snowman, the penguin can go and
communicate with him, somehow. Of course, he can come along in the other
seasons and if you leave some fish for him, he'll eat it.
With the fish, along comes another point. Your pool will be heated, this is
probably why my Sims go for a dip in the pool while walking from A to B, until
I did some reconstruction. Its obviously warmer than walking if the pool is
heated. Ponds will be frozen over unless it is covered by something, meaning
that there won't be fresh fish for a season.
Of course, since there is ice, you can have ice skating. Its basically the
roller rink being run into a ice skating rink. It basically the same except
for the interactions that you can perform with friends and family. You can
try to spin and jump while working up those body points. Wow, Seasons make
body points more fun to achieve. Although your interactions with the other
Sims is rather limited, it will provide large relationship boosts to your
totals. And on the note of family, this is the best time for your Sims and
their family to get together. While friends will yield a slightly lower
amount of relationship points, it will be different for your family. This is
the time to renew and build up those family bonds.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[2.05] Spring
All your gardening will be back to life, with fruit tree at the sickly level.
Do not dispair, for it will be back to normal sooner or later, after the
necessary amount of pruning. This is also the time to start some planting of
crops will be in Spring. It also allows you access to your pond again, when
the weather decides to pick up again. Of course, with spring, the Season of
life, there will be some butterflies to catch. You can do it as you would do
with fireflies, you click on the square they are located on, and then catch
them. Of course, they just add to the decor of the place, but if you have Open
for Business, it looks cool to have some jars of insects on the shelves, even
if you can't sell them.
Spring is the Season for Love. All romantic interactions will yield more
relationship points and is perfect to catch up with the flames which are the
boyfriends and the girlfriends or level up with a spark that you think will
provide eternal happiness. Of course, marriage is for the life of the Sim,
since the SimCity Marriage Council does not believe in divorce. Damn old,
conservative council, though it does limit the ability of Sims to become
gold diggers.

Nevertheless, his skull, which has been coated in gold and enlarged to enhance
its aesthic beauty, is fitting for any home and inspiring to all. It can

it. Paid to play. Well, thats the Gamer profession for you, paid to have fun.
Sigh, I bet a lot of people wish it was real. The §5 Boost is automatically

[6.01] Bass with Squash
Ingredients = Bass Fish
Cooking Skill = Not Required
Time = Anytime
The basic fish dish you can cook. You need a bass fish either in your
inventory or stocked in your fridge to cook this dish. It is not as filling
but a single fish can make a single plate or a group meal.
Ingreditents = Catfish Fish
Cooking Skill = 2 Cooking Points
Time = Anytime
The second fish dish. It is slightly more filling than the bass and requires
a catfish in your inventory or stocked. This is made into a group or single
dish but there is one useful trait for this dish. It is the most filling
dish that can be made anytime, with the second being the bass dish.
Ingredients = Rainbow Trout Fish
Cooking Skill = 4 Cooking Points
Time = Dinner
The third fish dish and can only be made in dinner. This is filling and can be
made into a single dish or group meal depending on your choice. The usual
either in your inventory (nearly wrote infantry) or stocked in fridge applies
of course.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[6.04] Stuffed Golden Trout
Ingredients = Golden Trout Fish
Cooking Skill = 6 Cooking Points
Time = Dinner
The final fish dish that you can cook and is only available for dinner. This
is filling but I don't like it that much, since it is more valuable to sell
and other dishes are more filling. The usual inventory or stock applies here
as well.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[6.05] Apple Juice
Ingredients = 3 Apples
Apple juice is made using the blender. What happens to the core, I have no
idea what happens. Anyway, having a child drink some apple juice will make
them do their homework fast. The higher quality apple it is, the stronger the
effect is. Just stock 3 apples in the blender and blend.
This beauty cocktail is a love potion. Drinking it will enhance all the
romantic interactions between you and other people. The higher quality the
oranges and cucumbers are, the more that power is enhanced. Put 2 orange and
2 cucumbers through stock in the Blender and blend.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[6.07] Eggplant Juice
Ingredients = 2 Eggplants
Mmmmm, Eggplants, I like them. Anyway, the eggplant juice, due to powers
unknown will grant you a random skill point. Note that it is random, but if
you know computers, its another RNG based thing. Stock 2 eggplants into the
blender and blend.
The summer drink that you should have. Drinking Lemonade will cool your Sims
down, so when their temperature is red, drink this and be on your way.
Although it seems like a lot of lemons, the tree produces a fair amount. Just
stock 6 lemons in to the blender and blend.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[6.09] Orange Juice
Ingredients = 6 Oranges
Whenever you are in the cold for too long, your Sim will develop a cold. This
is more common in Winter and Spring. A notice will say you've got a cold and
hope you've got some oranges because Orange Juice cures colds. Just stock 6
oranges into the blender and blend.
Orangeaid will aid you in your quest to get some badge points. I believe that
it also works on the OFB badges since there are only 2 badges in Seasons.
You know the drill, just stuff 4 oranges and 2 lemons into the blender and
blend away.
Pepper will certainly keep you awake, making this punch a boost in your
Energy bar, nice if you are about to fall asleep. Just shove the ingredients
into the blender and blend away.
I have no idea why anyone would drink a pureed boot. Anyway, drink this and
suffer an adverse reaction from your Sim, freaking them out. If you really
want to see, puree the boot and drink.

[6.13] Strawberry Juice
Ingredients = 3 Strawberries
This drink will clear your Sim's furious meters a bit. When you are furious
with a Sim, this drink will remove some of the time on the counter a bit.
Nice if your Sim wants to kiss and make up. Shove 3 Strawberries into the
blender, blend and drink.
This drink is necessary if you want to use an aspiration reward. This will
give you the coveted Platinum Mood, allowing you to use aspiration rewards
without failure. Stock the ingredients, blend and drink.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[6.15] Tomato Juice
Ingredients = 6 Tomatoes
In my opinion, this drink is rather pointless. It warms up your Sim but you
have hot chocolate for that. Although it could have mysterious effects as
tomatoes are rich in something or another. Anyway, add 6 tomatoes and blend.
Despite being a pain in the rear end to grow the plants, this drink will help
you build your skills faster. Not really worth it since you have to get 4
different plants. Anyway, just blend and drink.
Fishing is a new addition to Seasons. It was not mentioned in a large manner
before the release, and when I read the manual, it was a surprise, albeit a
pleasant one. Anyway, to start fishing, you need to know a few basics.
1) You will need a pond to fish in. This is a natural pond and not a damn pool
ok? You can do this under the landscaping in build mode. The pool needs to
be the size of the second option, larger than 5 by 5 squares to fish.
2) There is a fishing badge. The higher the badge, the better bait you can use
to catch your fish.
3) You cannot fish in winter as the pond will freeze over and won't be able to
fish until the weather warms up a fair amount. That means that it is not
guaranteed that you can fish back in Spring.
There are 4 different forms of bait that you can use to catch fish. The level
of the bait will increase your chances of catching rarer fish. The bait you
can use depends on your Badge skill.
No Badge = Worm. There is no increased chance of catching anything.
Bronze Badge = Riverblossom Minnow. Increased chance of catching large mouth
bass.
Silver Badge = Stink Ball Bait. Increases the chance of catching the blue
catfish.
Gold Badge = Sparkle Spinner. Increases the chance of catching the rainbow
trout.
The fish available for catch are available below as well as the change of
catching them using the respective bait from the badge levels. Use the bait
section above if you aren't sure which bait is which.
Now that you know how often you can catch the fish, you should know what they
sell for and do. When you catch a fish, it will be sent directly to your
inventory, how the Sims manage carrying raw fish in their pockets I don't
know. You can sell the fish directly, or mount it on the wall if they are
proud of the catch. You can also stock it in the fridge. Note, if you mount
it on the wall, you can't use it to cook it. If you stock it in the fridge,
you cannot take it out of the fridge again. Just so you know. Below is the
table on the fish you can catch, the amount they sell for and the value of it
when it is mounted on the wall. When you mount the fish, you can just move the
fish to the wall and face it like a painting. The game will mount it for you,
free of charge.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Fish | When Sold for § | When Mounted on the Wall § |
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Boot (Size 15) | §15 | §20 |
Largemouth Bass | §33 | §34 |
Blue Catfish | §49 | §65 |
Jumbo Largemouth Bass | §61 | §81 |
Rainbow Trout | §87 | §116 |
Jumbo Blue Catfish | §124 | §165 |
Jumbo Rainbow Trout | §221 | §295 |
Golden Trout | §518 | §691 |
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
This is why I don't suggest you cook the golden trout for the meal, it is
worth far more than you think.
