Shrine disappeared completely

To be fair do we know that's the same cave ?

That doesn't look like the same cave to me.

I understand s1mszzang's concern, but it appears to show a different cave.

The interactive map of Mount Komorebi, which was recently released by the Sims team, does not list the shrine.
I am a hiker living in Japan.
Every large mountainside has a shrine to the mountain god, so the "cave" on the map is where the shrine should be.
Sadly, I think this is the same place.

In the old days, Koreans believed that there was a mountain spirit(산신령), so there was a memorial altar (similar to shrines) for the mountain god. Even today, a small number of people still serve the mountain god. People who are not even familiar with the culture of both Korea and Japan have polluted our culture.
산신령(山神靈)
1. 개요
산신령은 산에서 산을 지키며 산속에서 일어나는 일을 관장한다는 신으로 산신령(山神)이라고도 한다.
모든 자연물에는 정령(精靈)이 있고 그 정령에 의하여 생성이 가능하다고 믿는 원시신앙인 애니미즘에서 나온 것으로서, 그 몸을 대개 호랑이의 모습이나 신선의 모습으로 나타낸다.산신에게 제사하는 일을 산신제 또는 산제(山祭)라 하며, 우리 민족이 이 산신제를 지낸 것은 그 기원이 매우 오래되었다
1. Overview
The 산신령(Mountain Spirit) is also known as the mountain god, which protects mountains and oversees what happens in the mountains.It is from animism, a primitive belief that there is a spirit in all natural objects and that it is possible to be created by the spirit, and its body is usually represented by the appearance of a tiger or a divine figure.The ritual of the mountain god is called sansinje or Mountain Jeasa. Our people held the Jeasa of the mountain god from a long time ago.

I shudder to think that not only has the bowing to the shrines gone, but the shrines have been obliterated and all of Komorebi Sims' beliefs have been banned.
It's like watching the suppression of religion.

I was going to request that shrine worship be made optional, but if the objects of the shrine are being removed, then I would request that worship be brought back, not that it be optional.
Because if it's no longer a shrine object and it's now a Doso-shin, then no one is going to be hurt by worshipping.

The other threads were deleted again and the Korean users’ opinions translated by s1mszzang is gone. s1mszzang, can you post it again here? That comment was amazing to let people know what’s actually going on. I have a screenshot of it, but the reposting would be better, as it’s including the links.

Hmm I found out that comments are deleted. Interesting....I have a feeling like they are going to delete it right away even if I write it again.
Maybe it's because they don't want to hear any other Korean's opinion except the Spam they got. I'll figure out a way to post somewhere else.

It's up to you if you want to post those comments here again, I completely understand why you're hesitant to. So far, no one in this particular thread has started any arguments, so I figure it's pretty safe to post them. But again, it's up to you.

Yeah, that's what I got too. It means they don't care about the opinions from different perspective.

>I'll figure out a way to post somewhere else.

Cool, I too was thinking maybe it's better to find somewhere else, as they keep deleting the threads. I don't feel safe here. I tried but can't find any, so let me know when you figure it out.

Honestly, what annoys me the most is the sims team deleting the threads where people shared their real opinions. Making a game inspired by the real country and not hearing the opinions from people living there IS disrespectful. I'm completely okay with some Korean users accusing those features in the game, people can express what they think as much as they want. So does Japanese and other people. But the sims team, consisting of mostly Westerners, are not accepting us discussing our thoughts? That's unbearable.

I still find it funny that the team can't (or won't) fix bugs that have been prevalent in the game for 4+ years now, but the moment there's any hint of "controversy" it takes them less than 24 hours to remove a "problematic" feature.
