Snowy Escape Complaining Thread

The only complaint I have is I would have love to see families hike while carrying toddlers.

Aww yes, in one of those back pack carrier things. That would have been so cute.

Since the thread is titled "Temporary" it would be great if we post all the complaining in a single thread and hopefully the mod will merge the posts on this thread to a new one here: https://forums.thesims.com/en_US/discussion/983607/the-one-only-snowy-escape-complaining-thread#latest

Also I saw Lilsimsies stream on the pack yesterday and it sort of confirmed my thoughts on the winter sports, she seemed to get bored of them and move on after using them about twice. Not sure why they'd make such a big thing out of these activities since lets be honest they aren't very interesting. You just see an animation of your sim going down a slope and that's it

To be fair we could make that argument for any animation though? How many times can you watch sims play ping pong? Throw water balloons? Play video games?

Ping pong and water balloons aren't a main feature of a pack

But it could be any main feature. The point is that you repeat it over and over no matter what the feature is right?
But no matter I was just wondering what else they could have done that wouldn't be something with repeat animations to keep people from getting bored?

I mean it’s what you make it tho. If you’re a good storyteller then the pack will last longer because you aren’t skiing all the time or snowboarding and such. lilsimsie isn’t much of a storyteller so she just plays to play so of
Course she’s gonna seem bored.

For $40 no one should have to use their imagination to make a headline feature have replay value.

Do why even play the sims if you don’t have an imagination...

Sims 4 is an visual game unlike text only games which was the norm before graphics made an appearance and you had to 100% rely on your imagination. But being Sims 4 is mainly an visual type of game it should have tools to use in conjunction with one's imagination and for me there is not an whole lot of tools. Some of the packs have limited sandbox play so there is an limitation on the imagination and an Sims is an visual type game with tools that assist the end user to create what you are imagining and if there is an lack of tools like Create a Style which one could truly create out of this world designs and also one way challenge everything, CAW which one can create their own worlds or neighborhoods to how they want it to look and not how EA/Maxis want us to see it as it limits creativity, I can go on but I think I will end it here.

Why pay $40 to use your imagination when you can do it for free?

I mean but it’s not free, all the packs cost money, so I’m not sure what the argument here is...

you missed the point

Also not a big complaint as such but I'm a bit disappointed with the doors, there's only one single tile door in the pack and it has a window in it :s I was hoping to have new Japanese style doors for bathrooms and bedrooms but I don't want ones with windows in

This we need new solid single doors :/ it’s boring using the same ones over and over.
