The release of an expansion pack always comes with a lot of news, as you might already have seen here. More news comes from two little programs made by EA, both about seasons and weather. The first is a mini-game, "Catch the Season," in which you have to catch falling snowflakes, flowers, suns and leafs. Secondly there's a little desktop tool which gives you a weather forecast as well as the current weather in your region. It'll save you watching through the window while playing the Sims. Both are freely available. So play Catch the Season or download the weather tool.
