I thought it would be cool to have a different thread per game, stuff, and expansion pack! Let's start in order with Outdoor Retreat. Only gameplay and build/buy, CAS, improvements please, bugs should be fixed without a "refresh."What would an Outdoor Retreat refresh look like?My thoughts:Make Granite Falls livableAdd swimmable areas and canoesAdd group hiking so sims have more group activities in Granite FallsAdd insect spawners to Build/Buy so herbalism can exist outside of Granite FallsAdd "camp" event for kids where they learn skills such as canoeing, painting, herbalism, etcAdd locations to rock climbThoughts? Should we make a thread for each pack?

To add RV's and Hammocks. I pretty much think we could get RVs earlier then we get Cars. I don't know if they'd update the lakes for swimming since Granite Falls is an old world. Maybe I'm wrong though.

LOVE this comment!!! Great suggestions!!!

I love all your ideas @simopolis . The camp can currently be done using the club system from Get Together or a holiday from Seasons, but agreed that it would be great as a specific to OR feature.I would love to have ownable retail lots in Granite Falls.

I'm glad you like my ideas!! I also agree with retail lots in Granite Falls! I would love if they did away with destination worlds altogether. I almost feel offended that Selvadorada is not habitable. Like only European-centric places are habitable? Real people live there too! Make it like they did with Sulani and Mt. Komorebi!

I would like Granite falls to be opened up for day/night visits, rather than having to take vacation days. State parks are open to those who don’t care to spend the night. It would also be nice to have a scout camp lot type, and have a gathering there.

a nice bit of cross pack compatibility would be for scouts (seasons) to be able to have meetings/trips here

This could be achieved if we just made it a normal world instead of destination world!! It would function the same still with all lots being rental lots as they are now base game, but would offer so much more in way of gameplay!!!

I also would so love for Granite Falls to be livable not just Resorts. However, it's possible to turn the Resorts into a Haunted Lot if you have Paranormal.
I would also love for better outdoor camping activities & a possibility for sims to go hiking & climbing the green mountain in Granite Falls just like in Snowy. Just a thought.

I think it would have been better to wait and see what the first refresh looks like. Then you'd have some kind of idea of what to expect for future refreshes

I also think maybe one general refresh thread with simmers listing what they'd like to see in specific pack refreshes would have been more practical than 40 separate threads on the front page.

Livable Granite Falls!! YES. I'd love that so much.

They should also make Selvadorada livable. Like yeah, keep the lots as the rentable lot type like intended, whatever, as long as we're able to change them.... but get rid of destination worlds. They're only restrictive.
