Things that should've been in Snowy Escape
I like Snowy Escape as a pack, it's been a concept I've been wanting for a very long time but I just feel like there's a lot of missed opportunities with this pack and things that could've been better or could've been added. Some of these things not being included are just big missed opportunities which could've really improved the pack
- Being able to ice skate on frozen ponds
- Ice Fishing - We already have the ability to fish, just place a hole in the ice, it wouldn't be hard to add
- The train should actually be functional and take your sim to the mountains
- The empty buildings in the town centre area should've been turned into shops similar to the ones in the Magic Realm. They added the option to buy supplies for your rental with the pack, so it would make a lot more sense to go to a rabbithole store for these items rather than ordering them from the mailbox and they just appear out of nowhere. Plus it would encourage travelling and give a purpose to this neighbourhood.
- The cave in the mountain should've been a hidden ice cave lot with a yeti living in it. They could've made an interesting story around it aswell, maybe if you talk to locals there can be a whole rumor around the yeti and then you have to go up to the mountain to discover it and befriend it. That would add some more culture and backstory to the world and add some actual depth and lore rather than it just being a pretty place to go snowboarding
- Linking the above two points, maybe they could add a souvenir shop aswell and from that you can buy Mt Komorebi memorabilia and yeti memorabilia to remember your trip by.
- The winter sports should have more player interaction, maybe you have to press a certain key at a certain time for your sim to make the jump. Something other than just watching them go down on a loop until they get it right
- Toddlers can't use the new table even though it's on the floor and they already sit on the floor to eat food. If you do hot pot on the table, you can invite a toddler to join but they'll sit on the floor next to it or on the couch instead which makes zero sense when they can easily sit at the table
