Snow depth will be like Dishwashers.
People will be outraged that’s its missing, and yet show no interest when they add them.
When EA added dishwashers for free after a year of people begging, no one really showed an interest when they arrived. Now we don’t even see people begging for Trash Compacters like they were before Dishwashers came out (it was weirdly a huge thing).
Why? Because they’re a visual aesthetic that provides no new gameplay.
If changing the height of the snow is aesthetic only, and all the same gameplay can be done with shallow snow, EA would spend all this money on something people will go “eh” on.
It’s faux outrage at it’s finest. EA know what people really want, which is gameplay, which is why that’s what the trailer focused on.
Not the ins and outs of how Seasons looks in full.
If heavy snow meant more money on tech and less on gameplay, EA knows what will sell the pack more.
And those who are angry about it will cave in, even in a sale, which Is a win.
The Sims 3 also used the Sims 2 engine which meant EA had a starting point with 3.
4 was all from scratch and Grant confirmed all EPs get the same budget.
