Year: 2012

 
It’s here! It’s finally here, goodbye eternal sunshine and cloudless nights in The Sims 3. The Sims 3 Seasons has arrived bringing you all four seasons which include varying weather such as rain, hail, fog and wait for it… SNOW! Since The Sims 3 launched back in 2009, Sims have been travelling exotic locations, pursued new careers, mingled with the rich and famous and maybe even adopted a cat or five, all done with a backdrop of static weather.
 

 
Blue skies every day, green grass and invariable temperatures. Seasons changes all that adding seasonal changes and varying weather patterns. Hallelujah! Not only is the introduction of weather been long awaited by the Sims Community but the detail that has gone into this EP is astonishing.

It’s amazing how the weather can (literally) put a dampener on the best laid plans, or transform a mediocre day into a truly memorable one. Up until this point, when we aren’t busy figuring out is solitaire clash legit – we Sims had it pretty sweet on the weather front: each and every morning we’d be guaranteed a pleasant, balmy day in which to live out our virtual lives.
 

 
Sure, we’ve had pets, pop stars, and even supernatural events to inject a little diversity, but we could always count on the weather to remain unchanged. Nek minnit, EA throws us a curve-ball by introducing something called ‘seasons’ to our idyllic little town. What is this cold, wet stuff falling from the sky? And why do I suddenly feel so shivery? Excuse me, while I go and change…

The singer had a big year with a 3D movie, Katy Perry: Part of Me, from Paramount Pictures (you can buy the 3D Blu-ray version now, as well) and a new re-mix album, Teenage Dream: The Complete Confection.

The partnership started with a Simlish version of Perry’s hit song, “Hot n Cold,” and expanded to include a Katy Perry Sim this year, along with The Sims 3 Showtime – Katy Perry Collector’s Edition and The Sims 3 Katy Perry’s Sweet Treats.

The Sims 3 Seasons was the most anticipated and demanded Expansion Pack of the Sims 3 franchise, but probably also where the community put the most pressure on The Sims Studio to better get it right! We want weather, it had to look gorgeous and would we have accepted if it did not work in every single (custom) world, with every type of house/object we have? I doubt it.
 

 
We got just that, weather that works in every world and is absolutely gorgeous. Below is winter in a few official worlds and custom ones. Besides just how awesome the weather looks, you can also interact with it. Snowball fights, iceskating (on lakes!) and getting soaked in a rainstorm are awesome in The Sims.
