Re: EA should still refresh Outdoor Retreat

Can we pretty please get a refresh for Outdoor retreat? I love granite falls so much but some of the recent packs and updates are making it borderline obsolete in my gameplay. 

First and foremost, granite falls needs a world map update, because some of the textures and detailing in the world don't look polished, just in general, not to mention compared to current pack standards. There's also a lot of blocky areas that need smoothed out. It would be lovely if the lake portion was swimmable, it would give the world more activities to do. 

Secondly, I think herbalism and collectibles from the pack need more integration.  For plants I wish more meals (or drinks) could be made out of them. It would make them feel a little more worth getting if you don't use herbalism. It would be cool if using the toxic plants to make the meal could lead to sickness or even death. Could even reuse the animations from eating pufferfish nigiri. For insects I really just wish you could collect them in other worlds in some fashion. Initially I was thinking it could be spread out spawners like how the food stalls from Seasons are around in every world. So like ladybug spawners in willow creek, stick bugs in oasis springs, rainbow variants can only be found in the sylvian glade etc. But if you don't wanna go that route then at least give us some of those decorative world effects like the butterfly effects from adventure awaits. I also wish the insects from this pack were available as options to keep in the insect farms from eco lifestyle. Herbalism honestly I'm not sure how you would integrate it more I just know it feels so disconnected and with a lot of the elixirs it feels easier to use other methods to get the same effects. Like using spellcaster potions instead. Maybe add some more elixirs with unique effects? I don't know for sure, I just know the only reason I ever use them is for fertility elixirs, and I buy those off of plopsy lol

Thirdly, I wish the "go hiking" option wasn't just limited to Granite falls. I know having the hiking option when your sim lives in a major city doesn't make sense but in some neighborhoods (like the ones in gibbi point), it would be nice especially with how large some of the worlds are getting.

Lastly, for new additions, besides the (possible) changes listed above, a new aspiration or 2, some more swatches added to the existing items, maybe even a new item like porch swings or something. Some out of box ideas maybe a mosquito born disease you can only get in Granite falls, small all terrain vehicles, a new sport activity, maybe a new pet option like snakes or something you could feed insects too. 

This doesn't really cover all the ideas I have for what a refresh of this game pack would look like, but I just a have a attachment to this pack, and I would really like to see it improved so it is more on par with the current standards of game packs. I know you guys are focusing on bug fixes and stuff for now, but I really hope someone reads this and takes it into consideration. Thanks.
