Your Snowy Escape Rating!

Haven't done one of these since Discover University, but here it is: my "your _NEW Pack_ rating" thread :) Always love doing these & very curious to know how you guys feel about Snowy Escape! I'll add my rating later on below after I've played it (and, for that matter, have it, still waiting for the key lol).

Please remember, though, as always: this is supposed to be a helpful thread for those who are still on the fence about buying this pack. Feel free to voice your opinions, but don't go attacking others for theirs. And try to be a little objective - i.e. wait until you've actually played the pack, and remember that while the crashes many of us are experiencing right now are annoying, you should rate the pack, not the patch.

So, without further ado: on a scale from 1 to 10 - 1 being "I wish I could return this atrocity" and 10 being "Simtastic, best pack ever" - how would YOU rate Snowy Escape?

    I made a discussion / thread on everything that need to be fixed in future patches/updates for SNOWY ESCAPE


    NEGATIVE FEEDBACK +FIXES
    1. Lifestyles needs to be fixed +ability to turn off a certain Lifestyle on a sim (=the sim can´t evolve this Lifestyle).
    LIFESTYLES
    *The notification that the sim has reached the limit of how much they can work towards a lifestyle in one day => also tell me which lifestyle
    *Possibility to “turn off” specific lifestyles on a sim (= the sim can´t evolve this lifestyle)
    *The Lifestyles needs to affects autonomous actions (e.g. A sim with the “Health Food Nut” shall not grab servings of popcorns/unhealthy quick meals all the time)

    Close-knit / People person
    *Should only count friends OUTSIDE the family (and no pets! You don´t need to be a People person just because you have a lot of kids/relatives)
    *Higher minimum friends for the “People person” (you ain´t either Close knit or People person)
    *Add the new relationship professional relation to avoid getting the “people person” from work (e.g. if your sim is a doctor and speak to their patients)

    Junk Food Devourer
    *Fix the animation so you can add bacon / sugar on a meal when SITTING and MULTITASK (=that you don´t need to cancel the eating action to add bacon / sugar and you sims don´t need to stand up to do this).
    *Possibility to “add bacon / sugar” + grab a meal when taking a serving from a group meal

    Adrenaline seeker
    *Fix so you don´t get the “Adrenaline seeker” lifestyle from skiing/snowboarding on a low intensity level. Only activate this lifestyle from “high intensity” skiing/snowboarding/climbing.

    Frequent Traveler
    *Need some tuning or maybe give us the ability to “turn off” certain lifestyles on a sim?
    Why not just activate this lifestyle if a sim travels A LOT?? And if they travels to new destinations all the time? “Frequent traveler” will start to activate on all sims in a family after ONE longer vacation (7 days). Some of my sims are interested in skiing as a hobby, Mt Komorebi is the only place where you can ski, but I don´t want them to have the “Frequent traveler”.
    2. There needs to be an Freelance career for skiing / snowboarding / climbing: Outdoor sport instructor

    3. Kids should be able to level up Skiing / Snowboarding to a LEVEL 5

    4. The scenery should be clickable (the shops in the Wakaba area could be “rabbit holes” shops. Maybe the ability to become a business partner = own 10-100% of a shop and gain profit from it -sims 3 style)

    5. Ski / Snowboard competitions should be included. Boost your chances in winning: High skill in skiing / snowboarding +fitness skill / Bribe the judge / Cheat - sabotaging for the other contestants (higher risk of getting caught and discalified if having a low Mischief skill). Reward: gold medal + fame + cash price.

    6. Improve festivals (more things to do), easy fix: add a list on thing to do at festivals = gain satisfaction points (or ignore and get no punishment, similiar to holidays in SEASONS EP)

    7. Toddlers need to be able to sit and eat at the Kotatsu table

    8. Add the new relationship status Professional relation to avoid getting the People person Lifestyle from work (e.g. if you are a doctor and speak with your patients) / avoid getting a lot of random friends.
    *All relations at work (e.g. your colleagues, or the relations with your patients if you´re a doctor) or with working sims (e.g. the barista / librarian / food stand employee) will list as a Professional relation (work as a regular relationship but you will not become friend with them)
    *Click on a sim in your relationship panel and choose “Get to know IRL” to start a “real” (friendly) relationship

    POSITIVE FEEDBACK
    1. Fun with more cultural worlds
    2. Lifestyles (it´s a good start, but needs some tuning)
    3. Some things to interact with in the world: hiking / climbing on walls
    4. Dogs can go on hike with sims
    5. Option for chops sticks
    6. The kotatsu table
    7. Kids can go skiing / snowboarding
    8. 2 sims can go sledding, toddlers can go sledding with another sim
    9. Different skills for each activity: skiing / snowboarding / climbing
    10. Sims can swim in the river (Can we please get a Swimming skill? = level up swimming +fitness)
    11. Athletic skills also level up fitness (climbing = level up climbing + fitness)
    12. Great idea that game changers / simmers built all the lots

    Wasn't gonna buy it but did when on sale because i liked the sentiments idea. Long story short, it's my "I wish I've burnt money in the fireplace instead of buying that" pack along with IL. I might be a bit biased though, because I don't like winter irl either :D

    I still haven't fully played with the pack yet, so I'm basing my rating on my pure excitement for it. I LOVE the world, and the winter sports just make me so happy because winter is my favorite time of year. I had been asking for a resort mountain world for years and they actually delivered. I'm having fun teaching them how to do the sports, and the new outside outfits are adorable and fun. The new vending machines are cute too and I really like the proper trait and lifestyles. I haven't quite made a full lifestyle yet, but I'm working on it. It's something new and fun to aspire for.

    I love it! It has so much cute stuff for decorating and nice simple furniture. Mount Komerebi is absolutely beautiful and there is nice variety in lot placements like living high up in the mountains or down close to rivers etc. Beautiful nature, colorful trees and also gorgeous hair and selection of clothes in the CAS. Its perfect pack.

    My rating has changed to an 11. :D It's clearly one of my most favorite packs in the series. I love all the activities sims can do, from skiing, snowboarding, rock climbing, hiking, real hiking and sightseeing...I especially love that animation. There's always a lot to do in Kormorebi, whether it be a vacation or just an afternoon of skiing. B)
