Just discovered that my sim can go on nature walks. I was hoping that when she came back she'd have some harvestables or bugs in her inventory but she didn't. So what exactly is the point of the nature walks?
@RonneeSimmer, if I remember correctly it gave you a positive moodlet. 🙂 You can check your buffs to see if your Sim has a moodlet that is related to going on a nature walk.

Oh I see it now. That's it? I was hoping for more. Oh well 😏
@RonneeSimmer I felt the same way. I was so excited to see nature walks but there was just a buff while the sim was walking, no collecting or anything and then when they were done the buff was gone. You can't even nature walk with another sim. Seems like something they could add!
@RonneeSimmerand @PoptartJuniper , yes, while I like the positive buff, I do wish this action did more.😢 But this was one of the first packs that was released and I think the developers wanted to focus on the new Mood system. 😉 This is the primary reason that I choose this and 2 other early releases in the survey that I would like to see upgraded! (I also chose Get to Work and Get Together). I almost chose Cats & Dogs, but thought it better to focus on the earliest releases. Dine Out was another contender!
@RandomBuzziness, I do agree for your reasons for choosing Island Living! 🙂 I think every pack could use some upgrades because we now know what works and doesn't work, and also now know what people expected from each pack. For example, I expect dogs to be able to get on human beds, not just cats.😞 I know one of the developers has a dog (a Corgi named Peaches!❤️) as he was one of the members of the Livestream for Cats & Dogs before it came out and kept mentioning his dog during the Livestream! But if I didn't know better, I would think that only cat lovers had designed this since I know a great many dogs who sleep on the beds with their owners! 🤨 This is not a bug, but a terrible oversight! 😢 My guess is that they did this because dogs come in 2 sizes, but I find it very unrealistic.
Still, even though I wanted to vote for Cat and Dogs, I went with Outdoor Retreat, Get to Work, and Get Together for reasons like this. If Outdoor Retreat was chosen, then it is possible that they could upgrade the Nature Walks so that we at least come back with some special items, much like what happened when they had the Plant Sim challenge and you grow the tree from the magic beans and then go inside it. It is a "rabbit hole" like nature walks are, but you come back with items, one of which is a Forbidden Fruit that can turn your Sim into a PlantSim! 😉 I also find it hard to find many insects at Granite Falls, so getting a random one on a nature walk would be wonderful! 🙌
