Cowabunga, dudes!
EA have partially revealed the newest expansion pack forThe Sims 4- showing a modest glimpse of shoulder, if you will. But friends, it is acoldshoulder. The expansion is called Snowy Escape, and until a trailer is revealed later today, that’s pretty much all we have to go on. That, and a screenshot collage of cheery Sims doing winter sport activities like they’re all in an advert showing how being on your period doesn’t have to stop you living your life to the max.

The Sims 4 keeps up a pretty rigorous schedule of DLC releases. Recently we’ve had theNifty Knitting stuff packand the universally well-receivedStar Wars(TM) tie-in Journey To Batuu game pack.
Expansions (like wot Snowy Escape is) are the biggest type of Sims 4 DLC, adding a new area to build in as well as sprinklings of new character traits, clothes, items, and so on. The last expansion wasEco Lifestyle, which added a whole bunch of green livin' themed activities like dumpster diving. This instantly becamemy new favourite thing to do in the game.
Elsewhere in the expanded Sims development universe, the team are still working onimproving skin tones for Create-A-Sim.A note from the teamoutlined how a recent update on existing skin tones improved “the blotchy artefacts and ashy appearance of darker skin tones on mid and high spec machines”. In December they’re adding “at least a hundred” new skin tone swatches in different tones, but “with a particular emphasis on darker skin tones”. These are welcome changes! We must wait to see how the patches implementing them, and the Snowy Escape expansion, will breakotherwise unrelated parts of the game.
We’ve also got a fewguides for the Sims 4, including the all important list of current cheat codes, for when you need to hit that motherlode.
