Those aren’t just platform gimmics that we’re used to seeing ocassionally in The Sims 4 Trailers. They’re actual customizable platforms that you’ll be able to plop down and place objects right on top of them!

The official blog post for Snowy Escape revealed that customizable platforms are indeed coming to The Sims 4:

New features like shoji doors, tile roofs, and tatami mats lean into the Japanese inspiration behind the pack, and going forward, you can also start playing with customizable platforms!

Considering that this is a build mode feature addition it wouldn’t be a surprise if it was introduced with a free Base Game Update for The Sims 4 right before the release of Snowy Escape. But, as always, we’ll keep you posted on that as soon as it gets 100% confirmed!

The Sims 4 Snowy Escape is introducing Sentiments and Lifestyles

38

One of the features that Simmers have been wanting for a very long time in The Sims 4 is a revamp of Sims’ personalities and relationships, and it seems that with the announcement of Snowy Escape we’re getting all that and more!

With the announcement of The Sims 4 Snowy Escape the Key Features and an official Press Release mentioned that this Expansion Pack is introducing Lifestyles and Sentiments. Although it’s not known will this be patched into The Sims 4 Base Game or will it be a feature exclusively coming with Snowy Escape, it’s cool knowing that Sims will now have much bigger personalities that will let them to stand apart.

Here’s what was mentioned in the press release:

The Sims 4 Snowy Escape also introduces Lifestyles and Sentiments features, adding more depth to Sims’ personalities and relationships. For the first time, up to 16 Lifestyles will manifest in response to a Sim’s actions and habits, changing their behaviors significantly more than Create a Sim traits as they reflect a Sim’s lived experiences. Sentiments represent how two Sims can feel differently about the outcome of a shared experience and have a lasting impact on Sims’ relationships to each other, affecting their social interactions.

Lifestyles manifest in response to your Sim’s actions and habits, changing their behaviors appropriately. Shared experiences inspire Sentiments and have a lasting impact on Sims’ relationships to each other, affecting their social interactions.

 

We’ll keep you updated about this major new feature as the story develops!

The Sims 4 Snowy Escape: Official Blog Post

18

The Sims Team released a new blog post talking more about their next Expansion Pack – The Sims 4 Snowy Escape!

Hope you have ski boots and cold-weather gear—The Sims™ 4 Snowy Escape Expansion Pack* is sending a chill through the air on November 13, 2020! We’re heading to the Japanese-inspired world of Mt. Komorebi, where high-energy snow sports and relaxing slow experiences present an array of new Lifestyles to choose from. See you at the top of the mountain, Simmers!

Get Some Air

Breathe in that fresh mountain air and start working on your Sim’s rock climbing, skiing, and snowboarding skills. They’ll want to level up if they ever intend to explore anything bigger than the easy practice courses. Once they’ve gotten the hang of it, take the gondola up to the bigger ski runs and the climbing routes to the peak. Even wipeouts look cool up there… probably. But when Sims get really good, show off with a light-up board and the chicest snow gear.

It’s not just for adults, either. Children can ski and snowboard on the less challenging trails while parents take their toddlers sledding! It’s snow fun for everyone.

Cool Down

If your Sim crashed a few too many times and they need to recover, lean into the slower parts of life in Mt. Komorebi. Hit up the the onsen bathhouse to soak your Sim’s problems (and injuries!) away. Is there anything better than watching the steam rise into the cold night above after a long day? We didn’t think so.

Even the hiking trails just outside of town offer something new every time. Explore bamboo forests, pause to reflect at the graveyard, or visit the mountain temple with friends to get the full experience. Do remember to dress appropriately, though—depending on where you are, it sure can get cold here!

Build It Up

Rent one of the vacation lots or build your own home when you arrive in Mt. Komorebi! Find inspiration all around town for your next project, whatever it is. New features like shoji doors, tile roofs, and tatami mats lean into the Japanese inspiration behind the pack, and going forward, you can also start playing with customizable platforms! But that’s not all. Fill your home with both modern and traditional furniture options, and make sure to add a cozy kotatsu table for group meals like hot pot.

Outside, enjoy the harmony of this peaceful mountain environment. Add koi to your decorative fountains and start a rock garden under the shade of Japanese maple trees—whatever makes you happy!

So, what’s your snowy escape?

The Sims 4 Snowy Escape Expansion Pack arrives on November 13, 2020, at midnight in your region on Origin (for Mac and PC) and at 10 a.m. PT for Steam, Xbox One, and PlayStation®4! Preorder it today to be first in line for the gondola!
