Expanding season lengths adds time to the "end" of a season, but shrinking a season length may mess up any Holidays you have planned. This selection does not impact your Sims' life spans, so a long season length with a short life span means some Sims may not live to see too many full calendar years.īe careful when changing the length of seasons. If you last saved on an in-game Saturday, whichever season you choose for your first will last only a single day before rolling over.įrom the main menu, you can set the season lengths to be 7 days, 14 days, or 28 days. If you load up a game saved prior to the installation of Seasons, depending on what in-game day it is, the season may not last long. Note that seasons always start on Sunday.
In order to do any customization, you must first load the save file in question. This is because season options are tied to a specific save file. Note that the Seasons option is grayed out if you're on the main menu and haven't loaded a game yet. However, season length can be changed by going to the options menu, then Game Options, then Seasons. (Note that doesn't mean you'll be playing in the full season necessarily, as you will soon see.) That initial choice must be confirmed and cannot be changed directly.īy default, seasons last seven in-game days, and thus the full year lasts 28.
Upon first loading into a neighborhood, whether you're creating a new family or loading a save game from prior to the expansion, you'll be prompted to enter what season you wish to start with, as seen in the screenshot above. Veterans of Sims 2 may remember that game's Seasons expansion allowed you to customize the rotation of seasons, including skipping some altogether or running them backward, but that feature is not present in Sims 4. Seasons mimic the real-world in cycling through spring, summer, fall, and winter.
