Snowy Escape Positive Thoughts Thread 🏔️❄️⛷️🏂🎿

i dont think the train is useable. its probably decoritive. but having the snowy side and the japenese side of the world will make it feel like its more then one kind of experience for your sim. go skiing in the daytime. visit the local culture and chill in the hot springs at night. sounds like my families wont be bored anytime soon.

Reposting from another thread:

I'm excited about everything! :)

What I'm most excited about:
The world is gorgeous! I love all the cherry blossom trees and Japanese maple trees!
The ability to meditate on mindful walks.
Scenic hikes.
130 new CAS items!
Shoji doors, windows, and screens (non-CC)!
Tatami mats, koi, rock gardens, maple trees.
Hot springs and bamboo forests.
Sushi options.
Kid's hat with bunny ears.
Japanese-style bridges (at least in the world, probably not to build with).
Cute pre-mades.
Light rail/train. Can our Sims get on it as rabbit hole transportation?
Looks like some cute clothes, including that black and white jacket.
Kids can do snow activities!
I like that one of the snowboards lights up. :)
Camping out on the mountain!
Onsen to share with other Sims!
Centipedes, lol!
Looks like maybe a rabbit-hole temple?
New prayerful pose?
New fridge and bonsai tree.
New fireplace and low table.

There are lots of new details I didn't mention that I like, but just aren't my favorites. I can't wait for this pack!

To get the negative out of the way, I am not crazy about snow. This is why I didn't comment on this pack until I saw the trailer. And I have to admit, there is a lot to like. I took a few screen grabs of the stuff I will enjoy in my game.

I love the style of the furniture - especially the new kitchen - and the world looks very promising.
This looks like a very solid pack to me that I am definitely looking forward to.

My negative is the fake Tik Tok pictures they did in the trailer, we can't do that in the sims unless you use Pose Player.

I love the style, especially that screenshot on the upper right, that looks so good.

And oh my god, they have a hot pot.

But LOOK AT THIS.
We're getting Lifestyles and Sentiments! More personality. Finally. ?

Also, did anyone else think that this "flower" lets us control whether its snowy or not, maybe?

Looks like some kind of a nature spirit to me.

Really liking the look of this pack so far. If I'm going to get nitpicky, you don't wear swimsuits in an onsen, but that's an understandable fudge due to ratings.

They had me at the genkan entry where we can take our shoes off. FINALLY!!!! I've wanted this feature forever. Hotpots? The drinking culture? Bowing? Yes, yes, and YES! I don't care at all about the winter sports. The cultural aspects of this pack alone are worth $40 to me. These are things I can play with constantly.

I am really hoping they put their best effort into the culture. They just might have redeemed themselves after the pack which dare not be named.

Can I just say I love this kitchen.

I might need to take the day off work. This pack honestly feels like a breath of fresh air to me after a year of packs that really didnt do much to impress me. The build/buy looks fun to me already and I can't wait to build an onsen. Ive already built a bathhouse up in Granite Falls, so it will be a great opportunity to improve on it.

These wall tiles are gorgeous.
