We've barely said goodbye to Batuu, yet EA is back with another expansion for The Sims 4, this time bringing a (rather chilly) touch of Japan to its digital life sim in the form of Snowy Escape, which comes to Xbox One, PS4, and PC on 13th November.
Snowy Escape is The Sims 4's tenth Expansion Pack (as EA calls its larger-scale DLC offerings), following on from the likes of Eco Living, Discover University, and Island Living. As with those expansions, Snowy Escape whisks players away to a brand-new corner of the Sims world for appropriately themed gameplay thrills, this time granting access to the "majestic and serene" vacation resort of Mt. Komorebi.
This Japanese-inspired locale features an onsen bathhouse, scenic hiking spots with mountain and bamboo forest views, plus a whole range of extreme sports activities for Sims to indulge in, including skiing, snowboarding, sledding, and rock climbing. It's also the first of The Sims 4's expansions to feature both rental lots and residential lots, meaning Sims can either visit for a quick getaway or settle down permanently if they prefer.
