The Sims 4: Snowy Escape Reviews
Professional reviews from gaming critics
With winter nearly at our door, many people may be missing the fun outdoor festivities and vacations to the snow lodge due to doing our part in social distancing and quarantining. But luckily for us Sims fans, we can still at least get a small taste of some familiarity with The Sims 4’s latest expansion, Snowy Escape. This expansion received quite high hopes as it was the first time we’d be experiencing an Asian-inspired world since The Sims 3: World Adventures all the way back in 2009. But with the less than stellar response to the last DLC that was released, the Star Wars Journey to Batuu ex...
Like almost all of The Sims 4‘s expansion packs, Snowy Escape adds plenty of content, making this a worthwhile addition to any collection. The new location of Mt. Komorebi might just be the prettiest yet, and seeing your Sims try (and often fail) at skiing and snowboarding is wonderful. The new Japanese-inspired furnishings are the cherry on top, allowing you to create homes in a completely new style. If you’re a regular Sims player, you won’t regret walking into this winter wonderland.
While the new traits and aspirations still read like a tutorial for the expansion, it’s clear that a lot of thought and effort went into the conception ofSnowy Escape.The Simsneeded to come back stronger than ever after its last controversy, andSnowy Escapedid just that and more. Players’ enchantment with Mt. Komorebi is sure to stick around like the snow on the mountaintop thanks to the endless possibilities the world provides.
The Sims 4 Snowy Escape Expansion pack was quite enjoyable, and I am very excited to dive in with my regular Sim family to check out the Lifestyles and Sentiments between them. There is plenty to do to keep you busy with the new sports that were added, though honestly the rock climbing and hiking could have been more obvious to figure out. I am sure there are still things I have not uncovered yet in the expansion, but I look forward to exploring Mt. Komorebi further. It’s a solid expansion, and I enjoyed it much more than the previous Eco Lifestyle expac.
The region of Mt. Komorebi itself is a gorgeous addition to the world of The Sims 4, a miniature Japanese Winter Wonderland getaway for everyone stuck at home. Snowy Escape provides players with a way to forget about everyday worries and enjoy being social and carefree. And, with the addition of Sentiments and Lifestyles, it has never been more interesting and important to be social than it is in Mt. Komorebi.
Whoever is in charge of choosing the new Sims 4 content over at EA really seems to be on my wavelength. I’m still enamoured with having Star Wars characters
