I have had Outdoor Retreat since 2015. For me it has always been the least interesting Game Pack(I know it was also the first GP for The Sims 4). I just never know what to do with it. I've used it like once or twice maybe.
I'm looking for ways/ideas to make it interesting so I'm open for ideas.
(I'm not a family player and I dislike toddlers(too needy for me). When I play I focus on sims from kids to elders)
I would suggest either building or downloading lots that you will use while there and are geared for your own game play. Outdoor is my fav pack just because it is a vacation spot and that is all I use it for now because I have explored the world a million times. I don't even have to search for the cave any more. What you have stated is pretty much how I feel bout Oasis Springs. I do not like the whole desert look to it and I never have. I never even played them in the previous games. I love greenery way to much...LOL so I have been turning it into mostly a venue world with different classes of venues. If I wouldn't be doing that, I would never even venture over there. Heck I haven't even really explored the world....lol
My sim owned a store in which he made herbal remedies. To gain money for the store I had him go and collect bugs and sold the ones he wouldn't need. He grew the plants needed.
I do take my Sims on vacations. Sometimes it is just weekend getaway with friends or a romantic getaway with his love interest of the moment. I'll even have his kids move in just for the weekend and go on family camping trips. Now that we can have venues in the destination worlds, I built a few lots for my Sims to do while on vacation. I have a Spa retreat for romantic getaways. Cabins for weekend trips with friends and family and camp ground for camping. I even have a bar for when he's off with his friends. That is what I do as for taking my sims there. As for the objects, I use them in various of my builds.
I haven't tried locking sims in a dungeon for a while now so I don't know if the prisoners still leave once your sim leaves the lot or not. If they do you could still play the whole "Cabin by the Lake" scenario by torturing and killing sims. Just don't leave the lot when you have a prisoner. LOL
