The Sims 4 Snowy Escape

Sims 4 snowy escape expansion pack for The Sims 4, adds Mt. Kobayashi to the game, which is based on Japan.

It also adds SNOWY acyivities..... But:

If you know anything about weather in The Sims franchise you know it's only added after buying the innaugural Seasons expansion pack.

I do not like weather. I do not like it in The Sims. I do not like it in the (sigh) real world. I do not like it on a plane. I do not like it, it causes nothing but pain and suffering.

So they get around this by adding "snow objects" which are just plain objects that simulate being covered in powdered snow.

This is the ideal way to play the game.. This is the best way to experience snow outside of a picture.

Now after that got made they added a trait of loyalness. This broke the game if you don't own Snowy Escape. Every time you interact with someone they'll treat you as "disloyal" because thwy overwrote the program in anticipation of loyalty.

If you don't know after Sims 3 got made they changed from personality points being distributed on five axes onto traits, which are present personality traits.

If you didn't make a Sim with a trait of loyal, that Sim would be subjected to a lifetime of being seen as disloyal.

Because if Snowy Escape didn't exist on your owned DLC menu, you were seen as "disloyal" to the company, and your Sims were punished.

For me that was every day of my life. Every time I talk to someone our social points don't go up, they just stay neutral infuriatingly longly while the talking animation drones on and on forever.

But The Sims had it much worse. All Sims who were disloyal their conversations would devolve into absolute crabbiness. They would talk, maybe snile and laugh somewhat for time, but then a scowl would show itself on the Target of the social interaction, and from there they will only have contibuous negative interactions.

The only way to farm social points is to use one-off interactions, like giving gifts or telling jokes. If you tried yo do anything more intimate, the disloyalty funk would make it badly recieved. So you can't hug or kiss anyone. You can't get married.

This would even affect families.

I made myself and my wife. I watched as the marriage fell apart because of no trust from disloyalty.

For some people this is how their life goes. They get percieved as bad people from the people around them. They can "offer up" jokes and gifts to curry a little favour from their colleagues or families, but everything else they say is disagreeable to everyone around them.

Phew. I'm glad my life isn't quite so bad at the moment.

But it's temporary. When the king of this world decides to change how social interactions work, it can happen to anybody.

I paid the $40.00 for Snowy Escape to fix the bug because it was genuibely making me sad. That game let me go to Japan, where all visiyors remove their shoes before entering through the sliding screen door.

It also added a "salaryman" job where you work 50 hours a week, which is the longest any Sim can work. There is no overtime ibn this iteration of the series.

I dumped by bitch grouchy wife, married a hot fitness chick, got really fit and listened to Carnival music, and worked that 50 hour salaryman job because it s the closest to what I do irl that wasn't a 16 hour gig in the game.(manual labor)

Otherwise I don't recommend the game. I might come back and tell about my nude sims from the sims 2, and how I elongated their limbs until they couldn't move.
