๐Ÿ“– The story

A full year lived at the mercy of the weather. Blistering summers, freezing winters, the rhythm of holidays and harvests โ€” this run leans all the way into Seasons, letting the calendar itself drive every decision your Sim makes.

๐Ÿ’ The goal

Play a **year-long run that leans hard into every season's mechanics**, letting weather drive the whole story.

๐Ÿ“‹ General rules

  • Each season meaningfully changes how the Sim lives.
  • Weather, temperature and holidays are embraced, not ignored.
  • The run spans a full year, spring to spring.

โœจ Specific rules

  • Adapt activities, clothing and income to each season.
  • Celebrate the calendar's holidays as they come.
  • Survive summer's heat and winter's cold without simply hiding indoors.

โœ… What you can do

  • Use all of Seasons' weather, holidays and the calendar; let weather drive the story; use `bb.moveobjects`.

โ›” What you can't do

  • Play a full year through all four seasons.
  • Don't skip or cheat the weather โ€” each season is meaningfully played.

Requires Seasons โ€” there's no base-game version.

๐Ÿ’ก Strategy tips

  • Dress for the temperature and manage heat/cold moodlets โ€” Seasons genuinely punishes ignoring them.
  • Build a life that shifts with the calendar: gardening in spring/summer, holidays in winter.
  • Lean on the holiday system; custom holidays let you theme the whole year.

๐Ÿ”ฅ Want it harder?

  • Go Off-the-Grid so heating and cooling are entirely self-managed through every extreme.
  • Survive a "harsh weather" run with longer, more severe seasons.
