Pack your bags, Simmers—the new Expansion Pack is heading to the mountain!
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!

I took the quiz.
The Sims 4 hasn't introduced a new musical instrument since 2017
By gondelas do the mean boats or the ski lift? I always thought of gondelas as boats but it says take a gondela up to.
In the trailer, it was obviously a gondola of the type that transports people in the heights (like they have in some mountain areas, not just for skiing purposes but for going higher on the mountain.) It didn't look like a "ski lift" at all.
If I see something with an ocean theme, that’s probably what I’d drop everything to get right now. My current play through involves merfolk and a multitude of missed opportunities. I actually bought the game and everything else because of Island Living, and I was expecting more. This has made it harder to justify buying every pack. I just don’t want to get my hopes up and expect something that isn’t delivered. At least with merfolk, Sims 4 offers less than Sims 3. For a sequel game, that was disappointing.
For now, it looks like another thing I’ll get later. I will get it eventually, and It definitely looks like a good pack for the winter. I wonder what will come out next summer.
I stopped the quiz because almost no answers I wanted to answer were available. Especially question 3 didn't have a single answer that fitted me.
(I know it's a joke quiz, don't jump me).
One idea I'm going to play is that I will create a mean, angry sim that hates all these snowbirds coming to his mountain and ruining it. So, he dresses as a snow Yeti and tries to frighten away all the mountain interlopers that are destroying his mountain, only, they find him funny and mostly ignore him which just makes him try harder.
There still doesn't look enough for an expansion though, so I am waiting to see what other features there are.
I understand that it takes sims to and from the mountain top. My point is you probably won't see your sim get in or out of that gondola. It might work the same way the Brindleton Boat works in that you click on it and your sim teleports to the top or bottom, depending on where they are when you click.
@simgirl1010 I don't particularly like the cold and got immersive, too!
@Beardedgeek I'm curious now! Don't mind the pre-fabricated quiz answers - have you thought about what your thing would be?
Has anyone else here taken the quiz? What did you get?
My ideal holiday is hiking and kayaking/canoeing in the Lake District (UK), and I've climbed a few mountains, so no surprise with that result!
I don't know how to switch the test to English so I can post a result here that everybody can read, but it says that I'm looking for new ideas for my house and its decor, and that my inner architect will come to life.
So... Apparently the test thinks I'm a builder, which I'm definitely not.
Something wicked this way comes!
I don't use MCCC.
I did it later and got "laid back" which seems accurate.
My preferred answer on no 3 would have been "nothing", it's a bit of an odd one, I guess it ties into the name of the pack but my Sims are not escaping from anything at all.

I'm still hesitant about potential bugs. There are still plenty of things that need attention with existing incomplete or buggy content.
Edit:I'm curious about the build items. I wonder what I could use in Sulani.
I hoping the colab with gamechangers helped also locate the bugs and now they've been fixed for the most part. But even four GC's can't possibly play every way the whole community does so, there's likely to be a bug or two.
I wonder if anyone thought to place an ice skating rink somewhere in the mountain neighborhood, hopefully not in the backyard of one of the biggest mansions like they did in Willow Creek.
