Snowy Escape SimGuru/Maxis-Sourced Info

The 10th expansion pack introduces the majestic and serene world of Mt. Komorebi, a new location for Sims looking for a getaway from their everyday lives or a new dream home. - press release

Like its namesake, Wakaba is young, new, and bright as the leaves of a tree in early springtime. This small town is up-and-coming in the region, home to beautiful, sleek new homes and an attractive town center featuring Mt. Komorebi’s official mascot: Yamachan. Tourists of all ages can enjoy the Festival of Youth, or simply take in the neighborhood’s natural beauty.

• Hazakura Lounge
  
• Rental lot:

  Visitors and out-of-towners can rent one of these lots for the day or stay for a vacation to experience the mountain. In fact, these new rental lot types will soon be available to be placed in any residential world, and some of them in Mt. Komorebi were built by our very own GameChangers—no more spoilers, though!

  
  
• 3 residential lots
  

Senbamachi, the town of a thousand leaves, is the oldest in the region. Many locals enjoy the town’s connection to nature, especially with the bamboo forests surrounding the town and unique spritely creatures that make a home in their leaves. It's said that if you walk the local trails long enough, you’re bound to meet the guardians of the trees who reward those who love and respect their dwelling.

• Izakaya Ippai (bar)
  
• Hanamigawa Koen (park)
  
• 3 residential lots
  
• Mountain Temple

  This beautiful temple inspires many Sims to stop and reflect in its shadow. Swing by on a hike to take a selfie with this landmark or make a wish at the ema board

  
  
• Graveyard

  Many Sims pause to mourn or offer a gift in the graveyard while on a hike. And sometimes, just sometimes, Sims might encounter spirits like kodama or other forest spirits! (Just try not to get cursed.)

  
  
• Bamboo Forest

  The bamboo forest is an incredibly scenic destination for Sims on a hike. Listen to the sound of the trees rustling together, and keep an eye out for wildlife like bats, Japanese hornets, and denkimushi. (Make sure to carry spray repellents just in case!)/quote]
  

  Climbing Walls
  
  In Yukimatsu:
  

  The true beauty of the countryside can be seen from Yukimatsu, named for its snow-covered pines. Located on the slopes of Mt. Komorebi, this area offers gorgeous vacation rentals, a variety of snow sports, untamed wilderness, and a peaceful Onsen Bathhouse getaway. Whether it's relaxation in a hot spring, seeing the sights of the Snow Festival, or an exhilarating climb to Mt. Komorebi's highest peak, this year-round snowy wonderland has something for everyone.

  
  

  
  
  • Sutefani Onsen Bathhouse, with

    natural hot springs

    
    
  • Gondola

    Take this up to the top to reach the trails and start a mountain-climbing excursion to the peak of Mt. Komorebi!

    
    
  • Snow Slopes

    Stick to the bunny slope for sledding, or choose one of the four different trails at the top of the gondola for skiing and snowboarding. (Most beginners stick to the bunny slope as well while they learn to stay on their feet.)

    
    
  • Caves (not sure I put this in the right world)

    Hiking is the only way to reach these stunning caves. Playful Sims might shout into the depths to hear their voices echo back at them while mindful Sims can take a moment for themselves.
