So it’s been a while since I played Outdoor Retreat, and back when it was released in 2015, it was kind of a nothing pack. But now with all the added packs, this could make Granite Falls a great place to go on holiday, considering it’s the only place Sims actually can holiday. My question is, can Sims swim in the bodies of water that are around Granite Falls? Did that neighborhood get the update?

Actually it is not the only place for a holiday. With jungle adventure your sims can also go to selvadorada and rent a room there. Going into the jungle is optional, your sims can enjoy the rest of the world while they relax. The third option is batuu with the new pack but that is not a 'regular' vacation world like the other two. Unfortunately the water in other worlds were not updated, so no swimming in the lake at granite falls :disappointed: . What you can do is change the lots. You could add a pool, maybe even make it look more like a natural pool with the water colours that come with get together or jungle adventure.Another thing you can do to make it more interesting is replacing a rental lot with a community lot. I added a bar and a spa and it really helps to give my sims something to do.

I don’t have Jungle Adventure or Journey to Batoo so that’s why I didn’t think of those. I can’t relate to the gameplay of either styles. I wish you could turn a Sulani lot into a holiday rental. Seems so natural.Ugh, that’s really frustrating that you can’t lake swim, but great suggestion, thank you

Follow up question, can you build a vacation place that sims of all families can visit in Jungle Adventure? Or is it just a rabbit hole type of experience?

That’s what was disappointing with outdoor. You couldn’t swim in any of the beautiful water they have . Hopefully they update it soon. That’s an activity that people do when they go camping for the summer

No unfortunly not yet. Maxis hasn't updated this world so sims can swim in the rivers and lakes.

You can. Rentals came in an Update. You can place rentals in any world including Sulani. I made those 2 starter homes in Sulani rentals.

I so wish there was a way to change Rental lots to Residence lots in Granite Falls. We already can have Rental lots in livable worlds so the reverse should be like that too.
