But we already have a pack for camping; Outdoor Retreat. Unless the gurus are hinting at refreshing it, I don't see them giving us a 2nd camping pack.

@catloverplayer @Phantasi33 I feel like you two have it, it's an Outdoor Retreat refresh Including an updated PlantSim. We got that PlantSim scenario as a surprise, they weren't a big topic until that dropped. The frog collection scenario keeps with the outdoor theme of late in the recent scenarios. Too many outdoorsy references lately to be entirely coincidence. You said it, camping is nothing new, we've had for a while. It feels like it has to be a refresh. They've said more of those were coming, but all we've had to date is Spa Day.

I think the nature related tweets/content are because it was Earth Day last Friday.

The tank top is the most blatant asset though.

If it is a Outdoor Retreat refresh I'm happy for everyone who wants one, though it's not the one I'd want a refresh for myself. I would much prefer Dine out or Discover University as those are the ones I feel most in need of a refresh, but maybe they'll come eventually. I do hope that if it is a refresh, that it includes making Granite falls a residential world and that such a move might include making Selvadorada residential too. Maybe an extra neighborhood with a few lots for living?

I totally agree with your Dine Out refresh nomination, and it would be my number one too. Outdoor Retreat needs one but it's not the most in need. Eco Lifestyle would also be ahead of Outdoor Retreat.

I would love to have Selvadorado as a residential world. I really hate to leave it whenever I take my sims there.

I think that with a little patience they will refresh most of their old GPs, adding more gameplay and so on.
I get that they might want to "adjust" the oldest ones before moving onto new ones.
If this will help them dig into bugs and fix them while refreshing older packs this is more than welcome :p

We're talking about an OR Refresh not a second camping pack.

I would actually love a refresh for OR, as it is now it’s very boring.
I’d also love to be able to change the hermits house, now with CoL there’s so much more cottagy vibe parts to build a tiny hermit hut in his area.

If it is indeed a outdoor retreat refresh, I really hope the world becomes residential, same for the jungle adventure world btw. Ever since all residential worlds can have rental lots, granite falls feels more limited in its use.

It would also be nice if the insects can spawn in different locations or can be breed like the frogs. It is unpractical to always go back to granite falls for ingredients.
