Why is the snow so flat? :(

Guys, it doesn't matter if the expansion has not yet been released! The sooner we begin to complain, the sooner we will have an answer. Complaints about the ball pit started even before that stuff pack to be released, and what was the result of that? A fix in record time that came in the next update that improved its appearance.

On the issue of snow being flat, it will be flat anyway because there is no unevenness of terrain within lots. The point is that there is no depth in the snow. The snow can be flat and have depth at the same time, but unfortunately this is not the case.

I'm very sad that the snow doen't have depth. It's a big disappointment to me. Winter is by far the season that most people get more excited about in an expansion about weather, and unfortunately, winter is being the season most impaired.

For me, it will not be a handful of interactions that will fix this flaw with snow. It's a ridiculous setback when compared to The Sims 2 and The Sims 4.

But I am VERY HAPPY, VERY HAPPY to see that most people are not happy about what is happening, and only a very small minority sees no problem at all.

f the decision behind not adding depth to the snow is due to performance issues, then make a separate graphic option that allows the player to decide for deep snow or not. Solved.


1. Good for those who have a bad computer and do not support snow in depth.

2. It is good for those who do not want deep snow because it is more important to see the feet of the Sims.

3. And it's good for players who like to have more immersion and like deep snow.


It is very easy to make an expansion pack when you ignore certain graphics challenges. I'm so disappointed my God.

And it does not make sense to me that they did not show deep snow in the trailer if there is, in fact, deep snow in the game. It makes no sense.

And do you know how much time that would take to implement???? Game development is not simple as adding a simple graphic button and done, it works, you have a lot more to work on, coding, programming, testing every single DLC (this probably isn’t true but I’m talking generally here) to make sure none of them break the game and make it unplayable.

Also can you seriously stop overreacting, that “I’m so disappointed my god” literally to me sounds like you’re just attention seeking... No offence, but I hate it when people complain and they literally just sound like their life depends on this one minor feature that doesn’t affect the game in any way apart from immersing the player.

I can understand people want this feature, but the way people are complaining is as let’s say if you were to put snow depth into a pack with nothing else that’s the best thing Maxis has ever done and that the player’s life depends on snow depth.... It’s so crazy lol

I’ll be honest, even I want snow depth as generally it’s been in earlier games but does my life depend on it? No it doesn’t. It’s just a feature would potentially take a while to actually patch in if it’s not in the game, but that’s fine, and besides, the development team HAVE said they’ve forwarded many complains about snow depth to the actual game programming team and such.
