Review of The Sims 4 Snowy Escape - "Snowy Expanse" is calling

On November 13, the release of the "Snowy Expanse" add-on for The Sims 4 took place. We tell you what you can do at the new resort.

Friv2Online Games Studio continues to delight fans of the life simulator The Sims 4 with expansions that make gameplay more diverse and saturate the game with new content. And also bring the publisher large revenues, given that each of the add-ons or catalogs can be bought at the price of some indie friv game. However, here we won't discuss EA's pricing policy, but tell you what to expect from "Snow Spaces", the tenth DLC.

So, this time your sim will be able to go on vacation to the resort town of Komorebi, inspired by winter recreation and eastern culture. You need to prepare for the trip thoroughly - try on bright images thanks to the warm clothes added to the catalog. And in the new town Sim is waiting for active sports - sledding, skiing and snowboarding, rock climbing, as well as hiking along the snowy trail with many unfamiliar but interesting places - for example, caves and shrines.

Of course, the character will not become an experienced snowboarder or a professional skier in a couple of minutes of the friv game: at first he will fall down, get frustrated and lose faith in himself. But when, after spending many hours on training, he perfectly mastered the necessary skills, he will demonstrate a master class to the envy of all. In this sim will help new equipment (the more expensive - the better), as well as treats and drinks that will give him energy for active recreation. Active leisure can be spent both alone and in the family circle, which will either strengthen relationships or break them up. Either way, the adventure will be memorable for the characters.

Three neighborhoods of the new town - Senbamachi, Wakaba and Yukimatsu, created in Japanese style. You can settle your sim in a ready-made house or build your own dwelling with traditional and modern elements of Japanese interior. They affect the gameplay: add a genkan for storing street shoes from the construction mode, and all characters by default will take off their shoes after stepping over the threshold of the house. There is a rock garden, and a pond with decorative fish, and paper lanterns to decorate the area - it will increase the mood of the sims, and you will certainly please.

Another innovation of "Snow Spaces" - feelings and lifestyle. If the sims have experienced together something good or witnessed unpleasant events, they will have appropriate feelings, which may be non-reciprocal - one character hates the other, but the second is in love with the first. These feelings can last from a few days to a few months and influence the characters' actions.

As for lifestyles, there are more than half a dozen of them here - a homebody, eager for love, an avid traveler, a technophobe and so on. Each of them affects the character's life in a certain way, both positively and negatively. However, you will be able to get rid of the lifestyle by using a special potion from the reward store or hiring a lifestyle coach.

In addition, the add-on adds a new career sarariman, related to corporate affairs, as well as two life goals - tourist on Mount Komorebi and extreme sports enthusiast. And also two new types of death await the Sims - from falling height (while climbing) and from a vending machine (it is better not to push broken vending machines).

November addition to The Sims 4 creates the right "winter" mood for this friv game. There is something to do, given the new locations, types of recreation, clothing items and professions, and acquaintances with interesting characters will not give the Sims a reason for longing and sadness. In my opinion, "Snowy Spaces" feels more interesting than, for example, "Ecological Life" or "Strangerville" - at least the new DLC has more space and interesting activities.
