Finally!

[dropcap]F[/dropcap]ans of The Sims will be pleased to hear that EA Games have finally announced the release of a long-awaited The Sims 4 Seasons expansion pack. Fittingly, the expansion pack (that will be released for PC and Mac on June 22nd), will be entitled The Sims 4 Seasons.

Features of the new expansion include

• Four different seasons. Prepare to wrap-up for winter, or swelter in the summer sun.
• Seasonal Activities. From summer pool parties, to winter ice-skating.
• Calendar and Holiday Celebrations. Celebrate traditional holidays as well as creating your own. Exchange gifts with friends and family, maintain traditions, and even entertain special guests.
• Gardening Career. Green-fingered Simmers will even be able to start a career in gardening, as either a botanist or a flower arranger.

The new addition to the beloved series is described in more depth here, in a light-hearted manner which the kooky series is notorious for.

EA games have already made the game available for pre-order. The game can be pre-purchased here for £34.99.

Fans have impatiently waited since 2014 for a season-themed expansion, and have only recently been graced with the pet-themed expansion pack, The Sims 4 Cats+Dogs.

Pets and Seasons aren’t the only things we’ve had to wait for. Upon it’s release in 2014, there was an outcry over the game’s lack of pools and toddlers. This lead to a hasty patch from developers, in order to appease the aquaphiles and broody hens.

The Sims 4 may be lacking in certain elements, but snow makes everything better right? ❄
