Swimming and Boating on the Lake
If it's absolutely impossible to add swimming and boating in Granite Falls without breaking saves :'( , consider this idea: a secret lot accessible
only via Granite Falls, but not seen on the map. New Secret Lot: Camp Adventure
Befriend the Ranger, the Hermit or the Bear, and they will give you a special map to a secret location. Click on the map in your inventory and travel to Camp Adventure via loading screen. Here, there is grounds to pitch your own tents, a bathroom and shower, picnic benches and firepits and a kiosk.
There is a swimmable lake, waterfalls, caves and walls of rocks.
Essentially this could be an area to bring together lots of already existing outdoor activities, as well as being a place where new outdoor activities from future packs could be enjoyed too:
Examples -
Existing i.e. if the packs are installed: (if they aren't, then the interactive objects will be decorative, adding to the ambiance).
Island Living: Swim, jetski and boat on the lake. Woohoo in the waterfall.
Snowy Adventures: Climb the rock, and ski down the grass slopes of the mountain.
Explore the Caves: Gather 3 other sims or pets to explore, and Surprise! Unexpectedly end up in another part of the sims universe.
Depending on what packs you have installed it could be: Hidden Grotto, Sylvan Glades, Sixam, the Magic Realm, The Bluffs, Forgotten Hollow,
the Temples of Salvarado, Snowy Escape Cave entrance, Sulani cave etc and any other future cave entrances. Can also go to the Hermit's Deep
Forest.
Biking: Purchase *new* Mountain Bikes for the entire family! Toddlers and kids can go now biking all over Granite Falls, and especially along the new mountain trails at Camp Adventure.
