==Controversy==
Line 71 ⟶ 110:
 
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]]''.
