Also I saw Lilsimsies stream on the pack yesterday and it sort of confirmed my thoughts on the winter sports, she seemed to get bored of them and move on after using them about twice. Not sure why they'd make such a big thing out of these activities since lets be honest they aren't very interesting. You just see an animation of your sim going down a slope and that's it
I mean it’s what you make it tho. If you’re a good storyteller then the pack will last longer because you aren’t skiing all the time or snowboarding and such. lilsimsie isn’t much of a storyteller so she just plays to play so of
Course she’s gonna seem bored.
For $40 no one should have to use their imagination to make a headline feature have replay value.
Do why even play the sims if you don’t have an imagination...
Why pay $40 to use your imagination when you can do it for free?
I mean but it’s not free, all the packs cost money, so I’m not sure what the argument here is...

Also not a big complaint as such but I'm a bit disappointed with the doors, there's only one single tile door in the pack and it has a window in it I was hoping to have new Japanese style doors for bathrooms and bedrooms but I don't want ones with windows in

This we need new solid single doors it’s boring using the same ones over and over.
Platforms need a bit of researching as I kept losing the walls but @KateEmerald has useful hints on Youtube plus pointing out some problems with it.
I started off with the winter season and am currently looking for the skating rink. Anyone know where it is on Komorebi?
Carl uploaded his review and it paints a bleak picture of the pack. On its own, SE has some great stuff. But so much content is recycled from other packs, with some beimg done slightly better. I still think it looks like a fun pack, but iI think I'll be waiting for a sale.

Just finished watching a let's play. The caves are a rabbit hole, so exploring is just a dialog box that tells you what they did or saw. I mentioned this in the other thread, but I don't like that it's setup this way. It should take me to a location like the forgotten grotto or be more like exploring the tombs in Sims 3 World Adventure. I'm still excited about this pack, but I am still annoyed about the missed opportunities.
omg I don't understand why they don't do this. It would have been so cool to load to a ice cave that you could explore for some special items, maybe ice fish and even build a tent and stay the night there. I mean it doesn't have to be this major thing but it would have been nice to do something simple like the forgotten grotto.
I was just thinking about this very thing when I was responding to and Island Living discussion. I felt like it was a missed opportunity there too.

Some will come out and say "Oh they wanted to try something different" and this makes me laugh as going into an rabbit hole that you have no visuals and just text is really different But hey Sims 4 never had an traditional evolution any way so this fits in some players way of thinking.

That's the trouble with not fighting back if you like something others don't. World Adventures was my favourite pack in Sims 3. I just wish now that I hadn't bought the lot but just concentrated on buying the building and buy objects after.

People complained about the hidden lots in OS and WC. They didn't want to have to have L10 fishing to get in to the grotto in OS. And then came Sixam and the police HQ/ Hospital in GTW. More backlash over those.
So Windenburg came with restricted lots located on the map like the Ruins, and the ghost manor. And that's what we get since. Restrictions.

I like how you have to work to unlock those. My sim is currently a scientist and I like how you gradually work up to getting to the alien planet. It makes it a goal to work to. People always complain that the sims 4 is too easy and has no challenge so then complaining about that just makes no sense
So apparently there are two complaining threads, so i'll post this in both
Not strictly part of SE but part of the patch
The fact that platforms cannot be used to create floors between floors. I wanted to build a house with a tower but wanted to use a platform to raise the tower to offset it from the rest of the floor, as seen in the picture
.... but you can't build rooms on top of platforms. So there goes my big idea

Why don’t you just make the tower a taller wall height than the other floors so you at least get the illusion that the tower is higher?
@EA_Leeloo I don't know who is in charge of merging threads together, but could this thread be merged together with this official one, so that we don't have two of the same threads running.
Thanks.
I'm just going to complain about how empty and unfinished the world looks with all the false houses around and not a single thing to do as usual.
It is not going to end with this pack sadly as some players like the artwork more than the gameplay.

Not to be rude but why are you coming onto this thread and giving your orders? You were the one that created the unnecessary second thread on the topic when there was already one here. I made this thread as a replacement for the original after it was closed, and it still is. I don't get why you'd make a second replacement thread when there's already one here and then come on this thread to complain that there's two when you made the second one

Yeah, I thought the fake house(that was first introduced in get famous) will be eliminated when they decided to stop supporting 32 bit, but instead it's much more prevalent now.
I was hoping for more traditional Japanese decore items, so I could make an old shrine home. Honestly in general, I feel like there's a notable lack of traditional Japanese stuff in the BB/CAS.

Not surprising, given that they didn't seem to have anyone from Japan on the pack's team as consultant.

Yeah, I don't want this to turn political but it's questionable how they chose American/Australian simmers who have probably never been to Japan to make Japanese houses rather than contacting actual Japanese simmers who literally live there.
It just feels like they searched "Japan" on google images and just made what they saw, these are basically the top images when you search for it and that's pretty much exactly what they put in the game
It works I guess but I feel like it makes it a bit surface level and very touristy, whereas if they had more Japanese input it could've been more 3 dimensional

you missed the point
And y’all clearly missed mine so 🤷♀️
This we need new solid single doors

No worries. I've found the rink!
