This means we haven't been complaining loud enough.
;)
No, no, I totally don't blame either Gurus or devs. I'm pretty confident that they want to make the very best Sims they can with the money and time they have. It's always hard to know somebody's perdonal views as opposed to what they're allowed to say. But snow is an integral part of winter (as you can tell from the trailer) and I feel like (UNINFORMED OPINION ALERT) the people who don't mind, haven't really seen how real depth of snow makes such a difference to a snowy winter in the snowier parts of the world. I mean, if you live in San Francisco, you don't think of snow in the same was as if you live in New England. Or actual England, for that matter
What part of -" I live in Maine where snow falls in feet - not mere inches 6 months out of every year" says I have no real idea of how real snow makes a difference. In a state where there may be no snow in the parking lot when one goes to work only to come out of work and not be able to find your own car because 8 hours of steady snow in Maine dropping 3 inches an hour buries your car in 2 feet of snow. So don't say I have no concept of deep snow - we get on average a blizzard a week with 18 - 24 inches each blizzard for months. I assure you my concept of deep snow - losing heat and power long enough to get it back on only lose it again - the next week over and over from November - May - well if I have no concept of deep snow - nobody does.
Snow - deep snow in fact is an utter pain in the You know what. That is reality. In a game - not reality - it does not matter. Seeing snow fall prettily and whitening and brightening the world is fine like a Currier and Ives Christmas Card - but seeing a sims trudge through 3-4 feet of snow - is a nightmare I endure in real life and perhaps I would rather just be happy with the pretty state of snow then seeing the real life struggle of living with snow in feet where you are lucky to even see out of your first floor windows most of the winter. We who live in the tundra of harsh winters - well perhaps we'd like it a little better just to feel the joy the first snow of the season almost always brings even us Mainers as surely we will begrudge it soon enough eventually. Canadians know what I mean - we have the same winter they have but instead of constant 40 below zero we are usually 25 below zero.
