- flat snow I can live with but terrain painted leaves in autumn?
https://i.imgur.com/uurE8HG.jpg - I totally understand all the concern about snow depth, and i would like to see some acummulation of snow aswell, but the lack in snow acummulation is not a deal breaker for me since in previous games winter were not my favorite season, i'm more into rain and thunderstorms.

Even if there were snow-depth in the pack I would still wait for sale until getting it.
TS4 packs lack depth anyway.
The pack looks pretty tho. I wanna see LGR's review of it before I even think about getting it.
I haven't been into TS4 lately, been playing TS3 instead.
I don’t understand why people let LGR make decisions for them.
He hated nearly every Sims 3 expansion bar Seasons and Generations. It’s clear he just doesn’t like the games anymore, he even said he doesn’t play them anymore, so I don’t see why people rely on him so much.
I feel like you’re better off making you’re own opinion, or watching people play the game.
Same goes for people who look to the reviews that just praise everything, like the hardcore influencers.
Just my 2 cents.- 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. "@crysk;c-16501530" wrote:

They were in other games too? Making 3D leaves would be a huge waste of PC power
If this were Sims3 and not Sims4 I would probably be disappointed in the flat snow and complain. Loudly. But given this is an expansion for Sims4, I think the snow and the flatness of it and the terrain are to be expected. But I really think the world looked very wintry in the trailer. I have said from the beginning that the teams did a great job creating such diverse and pretty worlds in Sims4. I love watching the hanging moss swaying in the breeze. I like the riverboat and the train and even though we are unable to interact with them, it's okay to just sit and watch them. Little touches like this make the game visually appealing to me. So, no to not buying this EP because of one little thing that doesn't quite live up to what we had in Sims3. Seasons is a must-have expansion.- But I will wait for a sale.
I'm not paying full price. "jackjack_k;c-16501610" wrote:

Where has he ever said that? On the contrary he gave cats and dogs a fairly positive review and he said in his console review he likes the sims 4. I have never seen anywhere where he has said he doesn’t play the game anymore. (Game meaning any of the sims games)
It’s not a case of letting LGR make decisions for them - it’s about trying to get a balanced review, something of which it’s increasibgly hard to find these days."MidnightAura;c-16501768" wrote:

I think James from the sim supply has very good non biased reviews, personally.- I don't get why people would see this as a deal-braker. Sure, it would have been nice to have snow accumulation and foggy windows, but it isn't essential (in literally any way besides just being a nice detail) to my game. Sometimes it feels like people are searching for something to complain about. We have Seasons! And each world has its own climate! I'm rejoicing just at that. And the gameplay that they've shown so far is so awesome! I'm so happy about swings and floral arranging! It really seems like this pack will seriously add so much to the game :smiley:
