Honestly, this is the only feature that makes this an explanation pack not a game pack. We get three skills only use in one world, likely only one neighborhood even. A activity not skill based tied to the new world (sledding), possible hiking as a new activity, a new world, and a bunch of japanese and winter build/buy and CAS items. That is barely a game pack. The only globally applicable feature revealed is lifestyles and sentiments features.
So if lifestyles and sentiments is as base game update as many are hoping (including me). Then this so called explanation pack will be as shallow if not more shallow game play wise then most game packs. It will make Island Living look loaded. So sorry guys, I think you will have to buy the pack for this feature. What else could justify calling this a explanation pack in it's feature list?
By the way it is why I plan on buying this pack. It is the only feature known that can possibly justify the $40 price tag. I am really excited for the feature.
