While more flamboyant game packs like Jungle Adventures exist, itвЂ™s the seemingly mundane packs like Laundry Day and Parenthood that celebrate what makes The Sims series special. The Sims 3 expansion packs focused on adding bigger, adventure-style elements, which alienated some Sims 2 players who focused more on the life-simulation and storytelling elements.Д«ut The Sims 4, so far, has gone back to what the Sims series does best: amplifying the these small, intimate gameplay details. The Sims community has always been the most excited about expansion packs that build upon the daily life experiences of their Sims, instead of ones that attempt to integrate more RPG-style elements into the series. For a life simulation, this is important. ItвЂ™s these real-life elements of weather and seasons, and the rest of the wonderful intimate details that make the gameplay experience all the more lifelike.

The Seasons expansions come with more than seasons - The Sims 4 Seasons also introduces a calendar with customizable holidays, a beekeeping hobby and new gardening-related career tracks, among other things.

Why have seasons when you can have World Adventures or Into the Future or Supernatural or any of the other more action-packed expansions? To those just picking up the game or to those who have never played The Sims, these big, obvious gameplay additions seem like theyвЂ™d be the most exciting. A lot of The Sims 3 expansion packs added RPG-style elements like visiting the future and exploring hidden temples. Other expansion packs add action-packed gameplay experiences. Back then, my dad wondered why the heck IвЂ™d want the seasons expansion pack, when I could have a cooler one like the vacation-themed Bon Voyage. ItвЂ™s true now and it was true 10 years ago when I brought my piggy bank into Best Buy to buy The Sims 2 Seasons. Seasons-themed expansion packs of The Sims games are always some of the most frequently requested and favorite of fans.
