So... the new EP is Seasons... without 3 of the seasons? Am I getting that right?

So all the simmers who bought Seasons for snow have been ripped off.

Could go either way. They either copied all of the snow gameplay from seasons or they didn’t leaving this pack without much snow gameplay. Sounds like a bad deal either way.

I feel like the snow will most likely be a "dumbed down" version if you don't have seasons. It'll just be the ground and thats it, you won't be able to have snowball fights, build snowmen, etc and the other snow activites without seasons and I'm guessing it won't be snowing either without seasons either so it'll just be still snow on the ground. I don't think the lack of those activities will be a big deal tbh and anyone who wants them will already have seasons so they'll still be there. I can see there being a lot of cross pack compatibility between the two, maybe winter will come with constant blizzards and freezing temperatures for the world and summer will have sun and light snow.

I personally bought Seasons for all of the varying weather types and I love the other features it has as well such as the calendar and holidays which are a must have for me with my type of game play. Seasons has and will always remain my most valued and favourite pack, it adds so much to my game play and not just the weather effects.

I was so star struck at the downhill ski and snowboarding I failed to notice that wonderful new eating/sitting position which is lovely :)

That is so pretty. I wonder if we can use that table in a restaurant.

@ncisGibbs02 I like SE, the world is gorgeous, the BB and CAS is nice too and the activities are fun for vacations, I have populated MT. Komorebi with my own families and when I play for them I do play with everything that this pack has to offer from hot pots to the new career etc. When I play my other worlds I use SE mainly as vacation spot.

Thanks that’s very helpful. ??

This was a good pack. Probably the only things I would have liked better would have been some kind of clear content replacement when they took out the shrine. I get why they did that but they should have clearly added something else to the game. Also, one of the bars is really boring and seems like it could be in any other world. I think I'm referring to the Izakaya Ippai Bar. I would have liked if they gave us new cocktails for that bar and some new activity other than using the vending machine.

Other than that, I'd say it is a great pack. It is definitely replayable if you'll utilize the winter sports area or the Japanese theme. The world is gorgeous. I also think that the GameChangers did a great job with the lots that come with the game - very detailed. I will continue playing with it sometimes.

Sorry to revive this thread but I’m in a dilemma about Snowy Escapes. ?

I’ve just seen some of the female hairstyles from SE on another post and I love them. ? They’re gorgeous! I’m so impressed. I can already visualise which Sims are getting them!

I would really appreciate some feedback about it. I can’t buy an EP just for hairstyles. (Even utterly gorgeous ones! ?).

Those who bought the pack have you liked the hairstyles? Is the pack a lot of fun? Is going to the mountain a regular thing or how is living there?

If you're only interested in it for hairs (and can download CC) I'd recommend checking out these as these creators have basically added the hairs from the pack to the base game for you to download for free!

As for the pack in my opinion it's not worth it. It gave me a couple weeks fun when it came out but I haven't been to Komorebi once since or really used anything from it. I didn't really find the activities fun as snowboarding/skiing you literally just watch an animation on repeat and that's it, it's not that interesting for me at least and there's no sense of progress, and there's only 3 slopes which are pretty much the same

@ncisGibbs02 I posted an in-depth review of Snowy Escape in this thread here if you want to check it out.

I tried to break down the pack as best as I could, so I hope you find it helpful!

Thank you so much for your review. Yes it’s been very helpful. I’ve bookmarked it.

I think there’s a lot for me to think about in terms of replayability. It would be the other stuff as well I’d be getting. I do think I’d have more fun with the holiday world than say JTB. At least I’d be able to build in Mt. Komorebi. ?.

Thanks again. ?

I’m definitely getting those hairs! ??

Thanks for giving your review. For an expansion pack I’d expect a lot of play from the added world. I might wait for another sale as I think there’s a enough for a game pack.

The Japanese theme is a definite plus! ?
I would probably put my own community lots down. I always end up doing that! ?
