SimGuruGraham has confirmed that changes have been made to The Sims 4 Snowy Escape reveal trailer and the game itself. Graham took to Twitter to explain these cultural changes.
Hi, Simmers! We modified the reveal trailer for The Sims 4 Snowy Escape and have made changes to the pack to respect our Korean players. I want you to know that those changes will be in-game when Snowy Escape launches.

Specifically, we will not have Sims bow in front of shrines in the world of Mt. Komorebi. Further, we've adjusted some patterns on clothing and objects within Snowy Escape that unintentionally evoked imagery with painful historic meaning.

We aim to be inclusive. We involve others both within and outside of our team, and we listen to them as representatives of the cultures that we draw inspiration from. We’re unwavering in our commitment to representing more of our player’s lives in an authentic and respectful way.
