For busy single Sim parents the invention of leftovers that came with The Sims 2 Seasons is a lifesaver!  Now you can spend your days off cooking up a few tasty meals so during the week your kids won’t have to bug you to cook for them.  We all know things taste better the next day anyway.  So serve your meals and then click he option to put it back in the fridge.  Then when you want it again click the fridge and get your leftovers.  Voila, instant meals!

Two of the fun things you can now do during the wintertime in The Sims 2 are making snow angels and building snow men.  Here’s a silly video I made of one of my attractive Sims playing in the snow:

I guess I’m a bit roof obsessed right now but I just found another fun thing to do with your roof in The Sims 2 Seasons.  Now you can put stuff all over your roof.  Check out this picture of when I went a little overboard…Might be a bit of a Sims fire hazard to put candles up there…
