How to Change Seasons in Sims 4

Seasons was added to The Sims 4 in 2018 and was the fifth expansion pack introduced to the game. It became a staple for gamers who enjoy realistic gameplay. Seasons provided you with holidays, themed decorations for your home, and new interactions to play in the snow or build snow angels. If you’re someone who wants the weather changed then this guide is for you. We’re going to show you how to change seasons in The Sims 4.

Changing Seasons in The Sims 4

If you want to change seasons because you’re sick of your Sim dying from heat exhaustion or freezing to death while accidentally wearing the wrong clothes, there’s a way to do it. When we play the game we personally like keeping everything the way it is. Whatever happens, is just how it was supposed to play out if this was real life. If you like tweaking your game and you want longer or shorter seasons here’s how you can change the setting.

If you want to change the season because you’re over the heat or you’re over the cold, head into your game options settings. Once there, click on Environment and scroll through the different options. There’s a way to change the lunar cycle, and seasons, and enable weather conditions. In seasons you can choose how long you want the season to last or if you want it to snow and rain.

Cheats for Seasons in The Sims 4

In every Sim game, you can use cheats in order to adjust certain settings or give you money. There are even cheats to literally control the weather. In order to activate cheats you need to open up your cheat menu by pressing CTRL + Shift + C if you’re on a PC or CMD + Shift + C for MAC. To turn on cheats for console players press all four shoulder buttons.
