Since the originals still down I just wanted to make this thread as a replacement since there's kind of nowhere to complain anymore and I don't wanna drag down a positivity thread, just merge this with the original when it's back up.
Please let's keep this as a civil discussion and avoid it turning into anything, thank you!

Its also bringing a big update to hiking.
As far as I know the update is tied to the world, and there is no update to outdoor retreat for instance. So calling it a 'big update' is kinda generous.
+ idk i just feel its nice to finally have real rock climbing and other world activities
but i do feel that its very lacking because there is so much potential for new furniture types and new gameplay with the japan theme and they just went woosh right past it adding bare minimum
they could have easily added
igloos (since there is tent that could as well be one), new teaset/teamaker thing (base game one is so awful give me real teaa) japanese games/board games or other activities for the kotatsu table use, another low dining table but minus the heating & blanket!!, rock gardens with gameplay (they could have used the terrain thing they did with sand and sanbox activities but instead it'd be rocks and rock garden activities), traditional dances and instruments !!!, japanese indoor fire pits !!!, just more traditional decors and furniture in general, round options for the windows, possibility to sit on floors anywhere or separate cushions...
so much potential awesomeness ignored
also most objects i did like lacked swatches (kotatsu, bathroom tiles, painting doors, dividers with paintings...)and like for example its silly how there is just one size for the painting doors like why ? at least add the 4 wide for those too since you started wouldn't mind taller doors too like wall height 2 or something
and neighborhoods are over packed with shell buildings that do absolutely nothing which is big sigh. i had wished there would be at least one neighborhood with less of the shell annoyance but turns out no
I do be excited for things we did get but i just so desperately wish it was more since they don't tend to do many east asia themes and even this took so long to get

Winter sports - do you see yourself having a sim go snowboarding/skiing on a regular basis or do you see it as a nice side thing to try once and then move on?
The world - does the world look like a place you'd like to play in on a regular or just a world you visit and explore once?
Lifestyles - Do you see yourself using lifestyles and giving them to most of your sims or do you plan on just playing with them a bit but not really bother with for the most part?
If you can see yourself saying yes to at least one of these then you move on and look forward to the next pack.
100% agree, my biggest issue is that it seems very much like five minutes of fun. I'll move a sim in, play in a Japanese house and play with the winter sports for a little while and then that's the pack done. I just feel like the substance and gameplay in this pack is equal to Jungle Adventure or Outdoor Retreat, which are both game packs, there's nothing really to boost it up to being a full blown expansion
Depends on how you play. I usually rush in and try all of the new things right away. This time I’m doing a storyline so I’m taking things slower. Also I’ll be building more now that there are platforms so that’ll take time away from playing and give me more chance of not experiencing everything right away.
Hm.... Do i smell a DLC for a DLC?
Japanese Theme that already got covered with City Living:
Tokio Inspired Neigbourhood in San Myshuno (Fashion District)
Talking Toilet
Japanese Food stand with Ramen.
Japanese Decor
Japanese Festival (Romance Festival)
Karaokebar.
(I mean they even have Japanese Sims living in the Fashion District)
Expanding on Seasons:
Temperatur UI. copy paste
Snow activities (Snowpal, Snow Angel, Snowball fight) copy paste.
Where is the... igloo?
It definitly aint a new concept thats for sure. We could of gotten Korea inspired stuff or i dont know... African inspired. But i guess Japanese is that popular they had to create more of whats already there.
So sorry this thread keeps getting closed down for various reasons. Y’all should be able to voice your concerns and complaints without others ruining it. Hope the other keeps opened up again but thank you OP for the temporary one.
1. Sim using kitchen sink to wash their hands after using toilet
2. Sim using toilet sink to wash dishes and never stack the dishes
3. Sim using toilet trashbin instead of the kitchen trashbin when throwing leftover food
4. Sims putting a toddler in highchair first before taking care of them (tucking them, or bathing them) then the action get cancelled.
5. Sims is repeteadly wanted to sit on a chair doing nothing, basically they have no autonomy when I played them now. all they wanted to do is sit when there is no action in their queue.
it feels like the sims themselves are doing this on purpose to insult me.
The game definitely has some major autonomy issues that's for sure. I got very annoyed with it a few weeks back because my sims wouldn't sit down to watch TV. It's actually what made me almost give up on the game and inspired me to give TS3 a try.
Yeah they also tend to eat in front of the fridge now, I used to be one of the lucky one to never experience the said bug but somehow i get it after reinstalling the game, have to once again resort on a mod for that.
I think some of the weird behaviors might be related to traits. In my game I have sims who prefer to eat most of their meals in front of the fridge, and others who use the table. Same with stacking dirty dishes, some like to collect them all, even from second floor, and put them in the dishwasher, and some add just one single plate to the dishwasher at a time. And then there are really lazy ones who prefer to just leave the dirty plate on the counter above the dishwasher.
Lifestyles are decided by the things your Sim does, you don't choose them yourself.
They are based on what your sims do but you as the player can choose to push your sims toward a certain lifestyle by making them do certain actions.
from bon voyage and igloo's from ts3 seasons. I also wish they added in a smaller slope you can place anywhere and/or a halfpipe this way you could use the snowboarding in other worlds instead of only being able to do so in Mt komorebi. That's my issue with a lot of the packs there complete tied to the new world instead of expanding on every aspect
I think in the next iteration basic weather should come with the base game and then expanded upon in a Seasons pack.
