It's official- No snow depth

That's rather disappointing. It's not a deal breaker for me, but I feel like they should have been able to do it. Is it really that difficult? I'll still buy it because it does look like a fun pack, and it looks like they did a good job in other areas.

Leave it to modders to once again do the hard work essentially for free.

No big deal to me. I'm getting a thermostat and holiday customization this time around.

What if the holiday customization isn't all it is being hypes up to be? Would you consider it good if it is exactly like the Group feature from GT?
Just curious, personally I don'y like the group feature and I don't see the holiday feature pushing me to buy on release day.

What if holiday customization is the greatest thing ever? Come on now, you've just got to let people have their opinions.

I don't know, of course I would have liked to have snow depth, but it really isn't that big of a deal to me. I would rather have no snow depth than snow depth that looks like that awful ball pit. I would also much rather have my game running smooth than snow depth. I'm still very, very excited about seasons.

Also, it might be quite nice for practical reason. I mean, if you lost something in the snow in the sims 3, it was gone until spring. Not saying that this makes up for it, just trying to see it from the bright side. I'm getting the pack and some missing snow depth is honestly not making me less excited.

That’s disappointing. But glad it was addressed. The “We think this is the best version of seasons ever” has me more concerned as that’s what they said about cats and dogs being the best version of pets.

Time will tell I guess if the focus elsewhere makes up for lack of snow depth.

Well essentially what it seem like they did for winter is exactly what modders already did, paint everything white and I never downloaded those mods because I wanted real snow. So can they mod snow from nothing but terrain paint?

My problem with this is they left out a new world just like in sims 3 to focus on other stuff. In sims 3 we got amazing weather, deep snow, dynamic weather. Now they left out snow and a world and what are we getting for essentially huge trade offs?

Agreed, they've said that for just about every Expansion and I've never agreed.

Actually, the cursor would highlight things under the snow and if you couldn't find it then build mode removed the snow ^^ Just a tip if you ever play sims 3 again.

Like I said in the other thread I don't think it's an excuse I think it's an answer to something simmer were worried about. It's better that they say "No there will be no snow depth." then just saying nothing and sweeping it under the rug. I'm pretty disappointed I won't lie but it's less of a blow knowing it's coming then getting my hopes up. I know some people think they just didn't want to do it and that's fine I just dont agree with you. I will say that the sims community is really weird about knowing what they want. Do they want the gurus to be honest with an answer? Or do they just want no answer at all and have problems swept under a rug?
