I think a lot of people would be a little bit more pleased if we had better dining options in the Japanese mountain town than the food stalls. I think a bit more traditional decor would have been a teensy bit more pleasing as well. Furthermore a few things to really improve and flesh out some new options for Dining Out. So here is my not exclusive to restaurant items that would make Snowy Escape a quite bit better as well. Call it a Japanese Game Pack
1. Sushi Counter - Personally I'd make it so that all previous Sushi offerings of the various pack forms Sims 4 are offered here. Additionally I'd add Chirashi as a nod to Sims 2 Bon Voyage.
Sims 1 had a version
Modern Sushi Counter
Sushi Chef Uniform
2. Teppanyaki Grill Personally they could just have all the food that you can purchase and make from Snowy Escape and the Japanese Food Stall from City Living and it wouldn't bother me even though I have previously purchased them those packs. I would suggest that they add Okonomiyaki as a new food and Pineapple Fried Rice as a nod to the Sims 2 - Bon Voyage offering.
Sims 3 store had these
A Modern Teppanyaki
Okonomiyaki
3. Tea Ceremony
The Tea Time Table from Sims 2 - Bon Voyage
4. Pachinko Machine
5. Zen Garden
6. Miscellaneous Decor Pieces
7. Japanese Cheesecake
8. Futon
9. Martial Arts & Tai Chi Both have been featured in the past iterations of the Sims and both were cute and fun. Ta Chi was the Takemizu Village version of dance.
Sparring
Using a Dummy
Board Breaking
Sims 2 Tai Chi
Tai Chi - Practitioner
10. Mahjong It is played in both China & Japan
11. Japanese Style Acupuncture
Needling in Japanese acupuncture is the most gentle in all mentioned needling methods on this website. Needles or don’t penetrate the skin or just superficially. Manipulation is performed at the surface of the skin.
Touch as a Means of Pre-Treatment: Japanese acupuncture places a lot of emphasis on the use of palpation (touch) before needle treatment. These practitioners rely on abdominal palpation to judge the insertion point of the needle.
12. Akasuri
Akasuri is a whole body skin exfoliation treatment. It is offered at many onsen in Japan. Before the treatment begins, you will be asked to prepare yourself by showering and soaking in hot water for 30 minutes. The treatment begins with the practitioner pouring buckets of hot water over you. Then, the practitioner will exfoliate your skin using a sponge, nylon pads, or special gloves. After all the dead skin is sloughed off your body, your treatment will end with an oil massage and/or facial. Before you go home, the staff will remind you to drink lots of water and avoid using soap that day to keep the oils on your skin.

17. Ikebana - The Art of Japanese Flower Arranging added as a refresh for Flower arranging

I'm still disappointed that we didn't get a tea house, sushi or Teppanyaki restaurant with Snowy Escape. It dampened my enthusiasm for the pack. It's also disappointing that we don't have the capability to make the places ourselves without the necessary items. Dine Out is one of my favorite packs, but it is also one that feels like it needs a massive update now. My biggest complaint about Sims 4 is that it looks pretty but lacks depth. I have no clue what the next pack is going to be, but I know there will be a bar in the town. Because, you know, we need more bars.
I don't mind that they made Dine Out they just need to make supplemental items for other types of food cultures for example a brick oven for Pizza places or a Tandoori Oven and voila you have the start for a great Indian place. They just need when creating such things to do so as an update for Dining Out.
Its not really that much in the way of suggestions it just seems that way because of all the pictures
At worst this has enough to be a Game Pack. Certainly not an Expansion Pack can you imagine the Fallout for something this small. It really would be a rip off.
