The Sims 4: Snowy Escapewill be available on November 13, but for some players, that feels like it’s a lifetime away. Many may be excited to get their hands on many of the Japanese-inspired details recently teased. Luckily, other players of The Sims 4 have been building Japanese-inspired lots for quite some time. While it may not be the snowy paradise that players are looking forward to, these builds are unique and beautifully crafted and will surely add exciting gameplay to any save file.
These lots are a mix of residential and community styles, so players can choose to play with one of their existing families or make a brand new one for the occasion. All but one of these lots were placed in Newcrest which led to a very niceJapanese-inspired neighborhood, similar to Mt. Komorebi inSnowy Escape. Players are welcome to mix and match these builds, of course, and place them in whatever neighborhood they think is the best fit for their own game.
