Sims 4: Snowy Escape firmly lands into the category of the former, as it offers a whole new world for your sims to live, play and vacay – welcome to Mount Komorebi! This gorgeous Japanese-themed, mountain town features a ski-resort, traditional Onsen, beautiful forests to explore, a bumpin’ karaoke bar – pretty much everything I wish I could be doing myself if I was allowed to visit Japan right now. In short, an expansion pack features the most new content and generally adds new areas or new gameplay systems to the core Sims 4 experience. Snowy Escape is the latest expansion pack released for The Sims 4, and if you haven’t quite got your head around the difference between ‘expansion packs’, ‘stuff packs’ and ‘game packs’, check out our review for Sims 4 Star Wars: Journey to Batuu, where we previously went through the nuances between the ‘pack’ titles. I’ve always found The Sims to be the best way to live a vicarious, digital life, and Snowy Escape is exactly what I needed right now.

I’m still enamoured with having Star Wars characters in my Sims game, and now I can take them on a winter vacation to Japan? The new Sims 4 expansion pack, Snowy Escape, has come at the perfect moment in my life – here in Brisbane it is currently 30 degrees outside, I’m stuck in my apartment and I haven’t been on a holiday in what seems like forever. Whoever is in charge of choosing the new Sims 4 content over at EA really seems to be on my wavelength.
