Snowy Escape Complaining Thread
Since the originals still down I just wanted to make this thread as a replacement since there's kind of nowhere to complain anymore and I don't wanna drag down a positivity thread, just merge this wit...

They've pretty much taken preexisting mechanics and just re-skinned it. Festivals from City Living, Spa Day content, rock climbing from Fitness stuff. Sure they've expanded those concepts a little, but not much. Skiing and sledding is just interacting with a giant object. Watching sims go down a mountain really isn't that exciting.
And as per usual, there are the jarring and stupid shortcuts. The ski lift is downright insulting. Sims stand in front of the door, and it's an instant teleport. They couldn't even bother having the door open and have the sim appear to go inside. They could've done that, then shown the plumbob hovering over a car as it goes up the mountain. That's so easy, and even though it's still pretty bad, it's at least passable.
Then there's the shoe "animation" that just destroys any immersion. There's already a mod that fixes it to look somewhat decent. It's sad really. They are not giving it there all and it painfully shows.
