Why is the snow so flat? :(

Blame Sims 4 art style

Maybe it’s like TS2, and it’s flat at first, but the more it snows the deeper it gets? I dunno. I hope so

I don’t think that’s it, maybe it’s to keep the specs low, although TS3’s snow covered the entire open world and didn’t seem to have any issues, I would have thought TS4s closed worlds could handle thicker snow.

I hope so too

Maybe for a few reasons, possibly for better performance, or to match the art style, or maybe it does get deeper over time but we just didn't see anything yet. There does seem to be clumps/patches of snow for sims to shovel, so maybe it was for gameplay purposes, instead of having an entire flat area to shovel, only a few areas would need to be shoveled.

Ugh i kinda thought the same thing. It looks blah

I actually noticed that right away as well. It just looks like the ground turned white and the sim’s shovel wasn’t really digging into the snow there. But. I guess we don’t know for sure yet on that. It’s a bit disappointing but not the end of the world for me

Cause Sims 4 engine isn't that great for developing that kind of stuff or it's designed so that folks with toasters for computers can even play the game.

Can you post a visual example? It looked fine to me

In the trailer it looks like it's just a white texture replacement. No depth.
