Hi @Materia9999
yeah, you're right. I shouldn't have tried to squeeze an answer in shortly before calling it a night after a very long day of answering posts but you don't seem to have understood what I was saying either. I wasn't sure if you were aware that the devs said the world doesn't have snow and I was saying, since it's not supposed to snow, I think this is by design as well.
Anyways, Let's start over with this.
There is probably a bug here cause the way I understand it, it's supposed to work like Oasis Springs. Oasis Springs doesn't have any snow settling at all, even if you you turn to winter.
I did some testing in my own game, It looks like, it changes as the blizzard is advancing. Took some screeshots from my game how it also looked.
So it depends how deep the snow is (I assume) and I don't think it's a general issue with the texturing or wouldn't it look like your pictures all the time ?
I do see those rectangles under the cars which is probably the same issue City Living had at the beginning with a blocky shadow: https://answers.ea.com/t5/Bug-Reports/FIXED-CL-Car-model-on-street-shows-black-rectangle/m-p/5687625
So, I see two bugs here.
I don't think it's a general issue with the texturing
There's snow on the lot. The snow cuts off at the edge of the lot completely. The non-snow-covered parts of the terrain have footprints of snow on them. You can make snow angels in the dirt. You can manifest snow pals from the dirt. There are blocks of pure white rectangles entirely underneath half the cars while the other half remain untouched.
I don't know how many times I can list those things before it's clear to you that there's obviously an issue here...That you managed to get deep snow working totally fine only makes it MORE obvious that there's an issue here but somehow you're wording it like that makes it less of an issue? The snow clearly does not work properly. I don't understand how you think it is.
Well that's daft if it was intentional, you telling me in RL it does not snow in LA, EA honestly That's stupid, just fix your maps and game.
Actually in my almost 29 years of life I've seen snow in California before (I'm born and raised) back in the 90s I don't think there has been much since. But I'm guessing since it rarely occurs they decided to go with it not happening 🤷
I was a little surprised myself but sadly it is what it is now they've made the decision to make it like Oasis springs and I don't think they will change that or they'd have to redo the whole world.
It is because in reality she only classifies as an inssue what suits her. This is an impression I have been having for a long time. I would not be impressed if she did not put "[xx]" in the title of this publication.
I'm also having the same problem, and I spent many, many hours waiting for the snow to appear on the floor of the world, which unfortunately did not happen. It is obvious that this is a bug, because in other worlds (even oasis springs) this does not happen. I do not know how some people dare to treat this problem as something "okay" by saying that the world was not prepared for it. If producers give us the option to make snow on other worlds, their obligation is to make it work right.
I am an extremely positive and patient person, but everything has limits. There are people who seem to be playing with us.

Understandable, however, directing your anger at Crinrict doesn't help. Do you know how many posts she goes through on here a day? By no means is she trying to make this seem like it's "okay". She's just telling OP what was told to all of us by the Gurus not once but several times. She's not saying that makes it okay. Clearly it's a bug. She also links a page with a similar issue from city living that was eventually fixed. Also you must remember she does not work for EA. All she does is collect information on this site and forward it to them, try to help troubleshoot issues, and testing it out in her game to see if she can get the same results. Any theories she has on what might be wrong is her best guess. Maybe you should share your save with her and she see if she can duplicate it that way? She may not have the issue in her save but it could be a bug issue in specific saves? You could also tag a Dev and send them your save too in fact I will do it for you.
@SimGuruIcarus is there a way y'all can take a look into this issue or give a little bit of feedback on what might be going on with Del Sol Valley and this particular issue?
*Just as a heads up there may not be an answer until after the Thanksgiving holiday today*
EA StaffHi @SimsTime
Let me start by thanking you for your report. Even though we have to prioritize some issues over others because we do not have infinite resources, every single issue is important to us and we keep records for everything that you guys post here.
In the other hand, Crin works really close to us, and thanks to her and other heroes, we are way closer to AHQ Community than ever. She does not only classify as an issue what suits her, like you mentioned. She knows her stuff and her decisions are based on the knowledge she's been gathering through all this years of hard work here in AHQ.
So please, listen to her and follow her indications if possible. She is only trying to help you, and help us.
I'm sorry if this issue is affecting your experience with the game. Like I said, we will investigate this at our end.
Have a nice day!
Oh, and thanks for tagging me @MsPigglyPooh :D
I really don't want to sound rude, but I feel it in my right to doubt when you say that "every issue matters to us." And I say this properly since there is a bug related to masseurs in the Spa Day Game Pack that has been in existence for 3 years, and has not been fixed to date. 3 years with a bug that directly affects the main core of a pack is unacceptable.
It is really very complicated to pay for a game, and having to wait so long for a relatively simple bug to be fixed. And I say that it's simple to fix because there's a person who came up with a mod to fix it.
To this day I'm waiting for the repair of the masseurs, because when I visit a Spa, only the Sims controlled by me ask for the massage service, while the uncontrolled visitors do not use the massage service, they only talk to the masseurs.
And to make matters worse, now even Yoga instructors are not working properly.
I understand you do not have infinite resources, but having to wait 3 years for one of the key features of a pack work properly... is a bit much.

I do not know what else to do to get your attention to this bug, but honestly, I'm about to give up. 3 years trying to play in a spa that does not work is something that makes me rethink if I should have spent money on this pack.
And I'm sorry, @crinrict,, I did not mean to attack you. Maybe I was just nervous about other situations because sometimes I feel like I'm not being heard in this place. I apologize
