Snowy Escape Complaining Thread

Platforms need a bit of researching as I kept losing the walls but @KateEmerald has useful hints on Youtube plus pointing out some problems with it.
I started off with the winter season and am currently looking for the skating rink. Anyone know where it is on Komorebi?

No worries. I've found the rink! :)

Carl uploaded his review and it paints a bleak picture of the pack. On its own, SE has some great stuff. But so much content is recycled from other packs, with some beimg done slightly better. I still think it looks like a fun pack, but iI think I'll be waiting for a sale.

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

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...

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

And y’all clearly missed mine so ?‍♀️

Just finished watching a let's play. The caves are a rabbit hole, so exploring is just a dialog box that tells you what they did or saw. I mentioned this in the other thread, but I don't like that it's setup this way. It should take me to a location like the forgotten grotto or be more like exploring the tombs in Sims 3 World Adventure. I'm still excited about this pack, but I am still annoyed about the missed opportunities.

omg I don't understand why they don't do this. It would have been so cool to load to a ice cave that you could explore for some special items, maybe ice fish and even build a tent and stay the night there. I mean it doesn't have to be this major thing but it would have been nice to do something simple like the forgotten grotto.

I was just thinking about this very thing when I was responding to and Island Living discussion. I felt like it was a missed opportunity there too.

Some will come out and say "Oh they wanted to try something different" and this makes me laugh as going into an rabbit hole that you have no visuals and just text is really different :/ But hey Sims 4 never had an traditional evolution any way so this fits in some players way of thinking. :D

I expect they don't do it now because some silly Simmers complained about WA so much that they have avoided doing anything like it since.

That's the trouble with not fighting back if you like something others don't. World Adventures was my favourite pack in Sims 3. I just wish now that I hadn't bought the lot but just concentrated on buying the building and buy objects after.

People complained about the hidden lots in OS and WC. They didn't want to have to have L10 fishing to get in to the grotto in OS. And then came Sixam and the police HQ/ Hospital in GTW. More backlash over those.

So Windenburg came with restricted lots located on the map like the Ruins, and the ghost manor. And that's what we get since. Restrictions.

I like how you have to work to unlock those. My sim is currently a scientist and I like how you gradually work up to getting to the alien planet. It makes it a goal to work to. People always complain that the sims 4 is too easy and has no challenge so then complaining about that just makes no sense

I'm just going to complain about how empty and unfinished the world looks with all the false houses around and not a single thing to do as usual.

So apparently there are two complaining threads, so i'll post this in both :)

Not strictly part of SE but part of the patch

The fact that platforms cannot be used to create floors between floors. I wanted to build a house with a tower but wanted to use a platform to raise the tower to offset it from the rest of the floor, as seen in the picture

.... but you can't build rooms on top of platforms. So there goes my big idea
