I have ECO Lifestyle, but not Snowy Escape. I think the ECO pack is better after the patch, I like the world and the new work from home possibilities. I use the NAPs with my local political system, so it feels like an asset, more than something annoying, anyway I hardly saw any NPC perform NAP related stuff in weeks. I don't want all my families to live ECO style though, so I play it with just a few families meaning I don't play the pack that much during a full rotation. I don't regret buying it full price.
