EP 10 "Snowy Escape" Trailer - Let's Watch it Together

So I suppose no hotels then. Well... That's a disappointment. Other than that, it's very pretty and fun.

Looks great! I can't wait!

Ok so I saw :
-Onsen
-Skiing
-Sledding
-Snowboarding
- NEW KITCHEN COUNTERS, (and island, and stove, and fridge but no cabinets it seems ,* ahem*....). I wish they were more versatile though and I hope these counters also have CLOSED off versions.
- NEW COOKING APPLIANCE : Fondue pot ?
- The world is stunning.
- I saw nice new hairs (finally new pigtail braids).

Nothing about hotels though :(

We might get something, there was a new lot type on the leaked map that could be a resort of some kind.

Here is the press release in case anyone else hasn't seen it:

I'm trying not to get too excited but SQUEEEE!!! It sounds amazing!!!

So Sushi, I wonder if it will be like fruit cake, that the Sims either hate it or love it! Looks like a very fun EP

For those wondering, the world will have vacation AND residential lots. No hotels but it's something. I like this happy medium of having both options.

Rent one of the vacation lots or build your own home when you arrive in Mt. Komorebi! Find inspiration all around town for your next project, whatever it is. New features like shoji doors, tile roofs, and tatami mats lean into the Japanese inspiration behind the pack, and going forward, you can also start playing with customizable platforms! But that’s not all. Fill your home with both modern and traditional furniture options, and make sure to add a cozy kotatsu table for group meals like hot pot.

Also, more activities for children!

It’s not just for adults, either. Children can ski and snowboard on the less challenging trails while parents take their toddlers sledding! It’s snow fun for everyone.

Description or press release says nothing about hotels too. But there's an interesting part:
The Sims 4 Snowy Escape also introduces Lifestyles and Sentiments features, adding more depth to Sims’ personalities and relationships. For the first time, up to 16 Lifestyles will manifest in response to a Sim’s actions and habits, changing their behaviors significantly more than Create a Sim traits as they reflect a Sim’s lived experiences. Sentiments represent how two Sims can feel differently about the outcome of a shared experience and have a lasting impact on Sims’ relationships to each other, affecting their social interactions.

I'm so thrilled that "meditating on mindful walks" is an option! One of my very favorite mods is the Thinking trait that is sort of like this. WHEE!!! And I already know which Sim will be snowboarding immediately!

That’s the main thing I’m sus about. I’ve had to use mods for that so far so it’ll be nice to see how they implement it into the game officially.
