Editorial overview
What it is
Venture into the deep woods to discover new surprises, including dangerous and wondrous herbs, new species of fish, creepy insects and… bears? Hang out by the campfire before trying to find the hermit rumored to live in the deepest parts of the forest in The Sims 4: Outdoor Retreat.
The premise
Your Sims can now make an escape from their everyday lives into the pine-filled air of Granite Falls. Let’s just hope that your Sims aren’t squeamish about insects.
No camping trip is complete without the proper supplies. Be sure to purchase your Sims a tent and outfit them in new hiking gear.
Lay back for a night of stargazing and let your Sims’ imagination run wild! Join a game of horseshoes to unwind and see what adventure awaits within the bramble patch.
Treat your Sims to some roasted marshmallows and tell fireside stories of adventure, wonder and fright for the whole gang.
Build your Sim’s herbalism skill to create a variety of useful potions, from insect repellent to a concoction that can help soothe a tense Sim. This new skill will be useful to help Sims identify which wild plants are edible or poisonous.
