Snowy Escape comes with new Skills and Aspirations for players to develop. There’s also natural rock walls to climb, a park to visit, and a mountain with trails of varying difficulty to either snowboard or ski down. There are several locations to visit and enjoy, such as the lounge, bar, and even a relaxing bathhouse.

I was pleasantly surprised to find that players could actually buy and build homes in Mount Komorebi, not just rent them while on vacation. Once I was settled, I headed out to see what this location had to offer. I was pleased to find that Mount Komorebi was an in-game location the same way that San Myshuno is, not hidden away like Granite Falls. After buying a cheap house I immediately went vacationing to the partially snow-covered Mount Komorebi where I rented a home for a few days.

The build I played for this preview appeared to only include the base game and Snowy Escape. If Journey to Batuu was the uninvited guest that didn’t have the courtesy to bring good beer, Snowy Escape has the potential to be the next life of the party. With Snowy Escape, the next major expansion for The Sims 4, players will be treated to a wonderful new location in Mount Komorebi, as well as dozens of items for building, character customization, and new mechanics to enhance the way the game is played. The mark of a good Sims 4 DLC is as much about the smaller details as it is the grand gestures.
