Google seems to have got a little better since I last used it! Sorry for assuming you were Japanese.
Google, кажется, стал немного лучше с тех пор, как я последний раз его использовал! Извините за предположение, что вы японец. Это лучше? - I am a Japanese.
Neither the Shinto shrine nor the small shrine nor the temple is graveyards. The small shrine which said grace with a picture is a house of native God.
There is no roof in the grave of Japan - Hi, I am a Korean user and I'd like to ask something about the upcoming Snowy Escape Pack. I posted the same thing with replies to SimguruNinja's twitter but I'm posting here too in case he couldn't read my tweets. I wanted to post this as a new thread but I'm leaving this here since I'm a new member to the forum and have no permission to start a new thread.
We can see the motions of the sims bowing to the shrines in the trailer... And... Do sims actually bow to the shrine in-game? I'm discussing this because this Shrine thing is part of a very painful history for Korea, and many users in the Korean Sims community are enraged at this content. Japan used to invade and exploit Korea for decades and this "Shrine Visit" was one of the things that they compelled us Koreans to do. This is one of the most nortorious symbolic things about the invasion of Japan, and mentioning the topic itself REALLY enrages Koreans. Just note that currently so many Koreans simmers, including me, are extremely disappointed at this feature and some are even planning to quit playing the Sims series they've played since the Sims 1.
I know that the shrine is an important part of the Japanese culture. But I don't think it's right for the company who makes games for people all around the world to add any content that is traumatic to some society.
If this "shrine interaction" is only a thing that is acted out for the trailer, then okay. But if this is an actual interaction that users can do in-game, I'd like to request... Can you please consider deleting it? We don't wish the shrine objects to be completely removed to the game, since it's an important part of the Japanese culture. But please just keep it as a plain object which we can't bow to... I guess that won’t be that hard because it’s a small one. Keeping this interaction will mean that you guys are ignoring the entire Korean users and our painful history. Thank you for reading my suggestion. I really hope that I'll get replied.

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!
My active Sims are going to be all over this pack. :)"alan650111;c-17694786" wrote:

So I suppose no hotels then. Well... That's a disappointment. Other than that, it's very pretty and fun.
However they seem to have made vacation lots AND regular homes in the world so I imagine vacations in general are going to get an overhaul. I know that people have been clamoring for there to be vacations in various worlds for a while now. Perhaps the vacation lots are in a patch so we can have control over which worlds are considered a vacation. Perhaps they will make vacation worlds able to be residential now too??! I really hope so!
At the very least, it looks like maybe we can add vacation rentals to existing residential worlds, so you could have a honeymoon getaway in Sulani or Sim "snowbirds" could vacation in Oasis Springs to get away from the Windenburg snows. I'm already thinking about which worlds are going to get rentals.- I love it! cannot wait

Well, in the game you have the choice of NOT TOUCHING the shrine! If it's an eye sore in your game, mod it out, replace into 돌하르방, The Elder Stone if you have to, that's all I can recommend to all your fellow Korean Simmers because global Simmers simply treated THIS expansion as casual vacation trip without anyone thinking TOO MUCH! Sometime It's wise to act blissfully ignorant.
One last note, this vacation pack IS base on Japan only because so far, imo, Japan is more popular as tourist destination. - I could understand being angry if they included something truly offensive like Yasukuni Shrine in the game, but accurate representation of Japanese culture is not a slight against Korea.

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 :(
I think that appliance is a Japanese Hot Pot. Not sure if it does just the one dish though.
