Description
Let your Sims swim in the ocean on a hot summer day, bob for apples in the autumn leaves, test their snowboarding skill on the half pipe, or welcome spring showers with a walk in the rain and a colorful umbrella. All-new activities, like soccer, and big seasonal festivals and celebrations bring the spirit of each season to life. Your Sims can pucker up at the kissing booth at the spring festival, or see what Halloween surprises await in the haunted house. Dress for the weather with seasonal fashions from wetsuits to raincoats and snow gear. With new foods, décor and weather effects, your Sims can enjoy the bounty and beauty of the ever-changing seasons and play with life like never before!
Key Features
- Delight your Sims with new activities for every season: Whether building an intimate igloo, carving a scary Jack o’ lantern, taking a plunge off the diving board, or setting off all-new fireworks, your Sim can always find new things to do throughout the year.
- Join the fun with seasonal festivals: Sims can get in a snowball fight at the annual winter festival, get their faces painted at the summer festival, whoop it up at the spring dance, or bob for apples during the fall festival.
- Experience the joy and challenge of changing weather: New weather effects and Sim reactions capture the power and beauty of nature! Sims can get a tan, be struck by lightning, or catch a cold!
- Bring the outdoors inside: Your Sim can now learn the recipe for pumpkin pie or style their home with new furniture and décor. There are a host of new items to ring in each season. Get a tanning booth in time for summer, or ring in the holiday spirit with house lights and decorations.
- Dress for the weather: Outfit your Sim in new styles for the season, including snow gear, wetsuits, raincoats and umbrellas, and new Halloween costumes!
- Welcome mysterious visitors: New weather patterns aren’t the only things appearing in the sky! Befriend an alien visitor and use their UFO to abduct a neighbor, invade a community lot, or travel to the stars.

View on SteamOfficial WebsiteTop Sellers Ranking
What this shows: Steam's top sellers ranking is updated hourly based on revenue, not unit sales. A game consistently in the top 20 demonstrates strong commercial performance. Look for sustained periods in high positions (green zones) which indicate stable revenue generation. Sharp drops often correlate with the end of promotional sales or the launch of competing titles. Investors should note that top 10 placements typically have significant impact on quarterly earnings, especially for mid-sized publishers.
Reviews History
What this shows: Review accumulation over time reveals player sentiment and community reception. The line tracks total review count growth—steep increases indicate viral moments or major updates. The colored bars show daily review breakdown: green (positive) vs. red (negative). Watch for sudden red spikes, which often signal controversies, technical issues, or unpopular changes. Sustained green dominance (70%+ positive) correlates with long-term sales success. For investors, review velocity matters—games maintaining 1,000+ reviews per month show healthy engagement. Compare review ratios to Metacritic scores to spot discrepancies between critic and player reception.
Player Statistics
What this shows: Concurrent player counts (CCU) and daily active users reveal real-time engagement with the game. High sustained CCU indicates healthy player retention, which drives ongoing revenue through in-game purchases, DLC, and premium subscriptions. Look for the 24-hour peak—multiplayer games should show clear patterns (evening spikes in major regions). Single-player titles typically see declining CCU over weeks unless major updates or discounts occur. For investors, sustained player counts months after launch signal successful live-service implementation. Sharp drops may indicate server issues, negative publicity, or loss of interest. This data complements revenue estimates—games with 100,000+ daily players usually generate significant recurring income.

Search Interest
What this shows: Google Search trends reveal public awareness and interest over time, independent of Steam metrics. Spikes indicate moments when the game captured mainstream attention—typically around announcements, trailers, beta releases, or launch day. Compare search interest to follower growth to gauge whether marketing efforts are reaching beyond the existing gaming community. For unreleased games, rising search volume suggests effective promotional campaigns. For released games, sustained search interest months after launch indicates lasting cultural relevance. Investors should note: viral search moments don't always translate to sales, but they do indicate brand awareness that could drive future DLC or sequel success. This data helps answer "Is anyone talking about this game outside of core gaming circles?"
