In the reveal trailer, a Sim is shown bowing at a shrine, and another Sim is shown wearing a robe which has a design that resembles the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rising_Sun_Flag#Controversy war flag] used by Japan during World War II. South Korean players have found these depictions offensive, as they relate to the colonization of Korea by Japan. Koreans were historically forced to worship Japanese shrines under Japanese rule.<ref>https://simscommunity.info/2020/10/21/south-korean-players-raise-concern-over-insensitive-imagery-in-the-sims-4-snowy-escape/</ref> On October 23rd, SimGuruGraham announced that the trailer had been edited to not show the shrine worship. The developers have also removed the bowing interaction from shrines and edited the design of the robe shown in the trailer.<ref>https://twitter.com/SimGuruGraham/status/1319730336549330946</ref> ==Trivia== * While a physical copy of ''The Sims 4: Snowy Escape'' was released in some countries with a disc included, a physical copy was not released in some countries such as Australia, which is unusual considering Australia always releases physical copies of expansion packs in retail stores that stock PC games such as EB Games and JB Hi-Fi. It is unknown whether a physical copy will be released. ** However, EB Games Australia released a digital download for the Play Station 4, which can be retrieved from their website. Physical copies of the PC version can also be bought from international sellers on such online shopping sites such as eBay or Amazon but these can sometimes be considerably pricey due to shipping and different currency prices. * ''The Sims 4: Snowy Escape'' is the first pack in the franchise to include a world serving as both a vacation and residential world. * ''The Sims 4: Snowy Escape'' is the second non seasonal based pack in the franchise to include weather, the first being ''[[The Sims: Vacation]]''. ==Gallery== <tabber> \|-\|Images= <gallery widths="185"> ~~EP10_Promo_1~~EP10 Promo 1.jpg ~~EP10_Promo_2~~EP10 Promo 2.jpg ~~EP10_Promo_3~~EP10 Promo 3.jpg ~~EP10_Promo_4~~EP10 Promo 4.jpg ~~EP10_Promo_5.jpg~~ </gallery> \|-\|Renders = <gallery> TS4 EP10_Render_1.png Line 78 ⟶ 134: TS4 EP10_Render_5.png </gallery> \|-\|~~Videos~~ Artworks= <gallery> EP10_Promo_5.jpg ~~The_Sims™_4_Snowy_Escape-_Official_Reveal_Trailer~~ </gallery> \|-\|Videos= <gallery widths="185"> The Sims™ 4 Snowy Escape- Official Reveal Trailer The Sims 4 Snowy Escape- Official Gameplay Trailer </gallery> </tabber> ==Music== ===Alternative=== * TBA contradash - diva Glass Animals - Tangerine NIKI - Switchblade ===Japanese Folk=== Ilan Eshkeri, Steve McLaughlin - Shincha Steve McLaughlin, Ilan Eshkeri - Bancha Ilan Eshkeri, Steve McLaughlin - Hojicha Steve McLaughlin, Ilan Eshkeri - Kukicha Ilan Eshkeri, Steve McLaughlin - Gyokuro ===Pop=== Jhené Aiko - LOVE Starrah - How It Goes *Kari Kimmel - Danger! ==References== Line 94 ⟶ 170: {{S-bef\|before=''[[The Sims 4: Journey to Batuu]]''\|release=September 8, 2020}} {{S-ttl\|title=''The Sims'' series PC games}} {{s-~~non~~aft\|~~reason~~after=~~Latest release\|reason2=for~~ ''[[The Sims 4: Paranormal Stuff]]''\|release=January 26, 2021\|rows=1}} {{S-bef\|before=''[[The Sims 4: Eco Lifestyle]]''\|release=~~November~~ June 5, 2020\|rows=2}} {{S-ttl\|title=''The Sims 4'' expansion packs}} {{s-~~non~~aft\|~~reason~~after=~~Latest expansion pack\|reason2=for~~ ''[[The Sims 4: Cottage Living]]''\|release=July 22, 2021\|rows=2}} {{s-break}} {{S-ttl\|title=''The Sims'' series expansion packs}} Line 106 ⟶ 182: [[ru:The Sims 4: Снежные просторы]] [[pt-br:The Sims 4: Diversão na Neve]] [[nl:De Sims 4: Sneeuwpret]] [[pl:The Sims 4: Śnieżna eskapada]] [[Category:Games]]
