Both can be done all year round, though to snowboard when it's not snowy, you'll need to find a half-pipe in town or put one in your yard. There are no new jobs or towns in Sims 3: Seasons, but there are two new skills: Soccer and Snowboarding. Spring brings allergies, and colds or flu can strike at any time (and always at the worst possible time). Failure to keep cool in the summer can lead to a nasty, painful sunburn or even spontaneous combustion! In winter, you run the risk of freezing solid until someone comes to thaw you out. Lack of caution in the face of temperature changes can lead to serious problems for you and your sims. In Create-A-Sim, a new clothing category, Outerwear, keeps you warm during the coldest winter spells.

For spring's showers, bring along your umbrella to stay dry. To survive the coldest and hottest days in Seasons, you need the right accoutrements. Rain can water the plants in your garden for you when the temperature drops too low, your garden hibernates and won't grow or be harvestable until it thaws out in spring. You can tell the temperature with the thermometer on your info bar next to your sim's avatar. A forecast of 'snow' can mean flurries, a blizzard or anything in between. They also occur in different intensities, though that's more or less random. There are four major types of weather - fog, hail, rain and snow - and what you see is based on the outside temperature you won't see snow in the summer, obviously, but it can rain in the winter if it's still too warm to snow.
