Default Gamespot has a new article up.
Very nice read for the new expansion. Six new careers, new clothes, and severe weather conditions including thunderstorms, lightning, and hail. Sounds great.

Electronic Arts today announced a fifth add-on pack for the popular PC game series The Sims 2. The new addition, named The Sims 2 Seasons, will add the four seasons of the year to the game. The additions won't merely be cosmetic, as each will impact Sims' relationships, moods, skills, and careers in a unique way.

New activities such as building snowmen, ice skating, and playing games like Marco Polo in the pool have been added, and a fresh new wardrobe including summer dresses and ear muffs will keep Sims looking sharp.

Other new content includes six new career paths to follow--gaming, adventure, music, law, journalism, and education--as well as new weather effects--snowstorms, thunderstorms, lightning bolts, and hailstones. The Sims can also now harvest fruits and vegetables to make into energy drinks and love potions, and master new talents including gardening and catching fresh fish.

The Sims series, which has the player create virtual people and then furnish their houses, get them jobs, and try to advance their careers and personal relationships, has become one of the most successful games of all time, and has been translated into 17 different languages.

The Sims 2 Seasons will be released in Europe on February 23 and in the US on February 27. The expansion requires a full copy of The Sims 2 to play.


Major parts are bolded for easy reading :D

Wouldn't be too much like Making magic... I reckon that's next Autumn's pack. I like the sound of the seasons doing special things... And finally new careers we don't have to attend 24 days of hell and classes for!

EDit: Hold on... It's in Europe EARLIER than US?! What's going on?
Yeah... alright, you can PM me to request a house I suppose... Might take a while though as forewarning...

But it looks to be a long wait but the plus side is some new jobs finally. I only hope none (or a couple) of them require Uni. time, it eats too much time up.

Does that ever sound a million times better than Pets.

And it's about time they put in some new careers, particularly obvious ones like Music and Education. Those were some of the first to get all custom-ified.

I can't wait for this EP!

This has to be by far the best expansion pack that they are going to released in my opinion.

I wonder what they will install for the next expansion, they've already outdone themselves on the season one lol.

Do you know how soon they will be revealing what system specs will be required? With all of this new activity, I'm expecting that maybe everything will increase (especially if you have all expansions installed).

Argh! No fair! Oh, well. I'm not really jealous, because it's just four more days. About the next ep, they should do a one about fame. It's about time they include some things so your sims can get famous, even though they included it in the first sims (superstar, for those who don't remember or who passed it up, was awesome!) Magic would be cool, too. That theme would have to have some specacular special effects!

Ciao,
