Although I feel Outdoor Retreat is in need of a refresh, I consider Granite Falls to be one of my favorite worlds. It’s beautiful in every season. I just wish our sims could live there and that the lakes were swimmable too. I’d welcome additional wildlife, like deer and real bears and since I own Cottage Living I’ve been adding bunny and bird stumps to make it look and feel even more authentic.
I recently visited the Hermit in fall and stayed for a couple of days to collect insects and harvest shrooms and what-nots. Obviously not everything is available around that time but that’s ok. For me it has always been enjoyable to hang around in GF no matter the reason or the season.
