It is disappointing, but I’m not surprised. I still think the pack is going to be a great addition to the game, and it looks like it'll add a lot of fun gameplay from what we've seen so far. But you know, it could have been an A+ pack instead of an A-.
The thing that mystifies me is that this pack is releasing in June. None of us even expected another EP until at least fall. Couldn't they have taken a couple more months and kept trying to make it work? Released in September instead? Why the rush if they had to cut something as beloved as thick snow? I’m sure they could have figured it out if they had the time, since it was totally possible in both TS2 and TS3 (and many other games). Someone, at some point, (not the developers, I’m sure) made the decision to say that they couldn't have an extra few weeks to figure out the deep snow issue. Why is there always a sacrifice in TS4? Toddlers for 2.5 years, no buildable apartments, no small animals or horses, now it’s snow depth. Next it will be something else. This game is a fun game, it's okay, but it consistently fails to strive for that A+.
