5.0 out of 5 stars
Useful and Entertaining, March 2, 2007
This review is from: Sims 2: Seasons: Prima Official Game Guide (Prima Official Game Guides) (Paperback)
I like to buy game guides when a game first comes out because often times there is limited and unreliable information available online. Once the game has been out for a few months these books tend to loose their usefulness as well written online guides become available for free.
Having said that, I felt this guide was worth buying because the Seasons Expansion Pack has so many new elements. As always with Prima Guides it is well written and has an easy to follow format. Although some players may prefer the challenge of discovering every nuance of the game for themselves, people like me, who may have limited time to play, are able to use these guides to get the most out of the game in a short while.
Whether you choose to read this guide cover to cover, or use it simply as a reference for when you have a question I think that it will be a useful tool towards getting the most enjoyment out of your game.

Informative and Comprehensive, April 5, 2007
This review is from: Sims 2: Seasons: Prima Official Game Guide (Prima Official Game Guides) (Paperback)
I ordered this along with the game, because I knew I wouldn't figure out 1/4 of the stuff for "Seasons" on my own. I read through the entire guide, and found it all very informative, and for the most part very comprehensive & easy-to-understand (I had to re-read some of the weather information, but just because it got so in-depth). The chapter on gardening (Chapter 4: The Sim's Guide to Gardening and Fishing) was essential for figuring out how to raise good crops, & it has all sorts of interesting hints and tips that I probably never would have figured out myself. I still tend to flip through the book while I play, and help refresh my memory. Not only does it explain about fishing & gardening, & the weather, but also the new plantSims, the new neighborhood Riverblossom Hills & its occupants; Build Mode additions; Buy Mode additions; new Career tracks; new interactions and Socials, & a lot more. For less than $14, it's quite worth it.

Great Game, March 20, 2007
This review is from: Sims 2: Seasons: Prima Official Game Guide (Prima Official Game Guides) (Paperback)
I love the Sims 2 Seasons, I think it's the best expansion yet, most fun, and Greg Kramer's books tell you how to make the best use out of it. He'll tell you, for example, how to make the juices that help kids study faster, cure colds, and all that jazz. To make the juice, you need to know what ingredients you need, and this book has that infomation, as well as how to make $20 from every boot you fish and $150 from a single fish. This book has less hints/cheats then the others, I think, but like all, it tells you how to get the best out of the expanison pack. It's a must have if you really want to know how to use all aspects of Seasons
