Pack Refresh - Outdoor Retreat

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 livable
Add swimmable areas and canoes
Add group hiking so sims have more group activities in Granite Falls
Add insect spawners to Build/Buy so herbalism can exist outside of Granite Falls
Add "camp" event for kids where they learn skills such as canoeing, painting, herbalism, etc
Add locations to rock climb

Thoughts? Should we make a thread for each pack?

  • I'd like to see more things to do besides camping and hiking. Archery and axe throwing sound good. A typewriter would be perfect for sims who want to write in a cabin in the woods.
  • I kind of like that the forest is not too busy, but sims going there often need more to do. In Sulani we got a fishing contest (I think), this could easily be added in GF as well. Perhaps other contests too, like for kids (or anyone) collect 3 different insects between sunrise and sunset. Or frogs. Would be fun if kids could climb trees, not every single tree, perhaps a new tree object could be added. Kids with low motor skills might fall down. Add canning recipes for what is harvested in the forest (elderberry jam is a minimum). Would like there to be small wild animals that can be interacted with somehow. Could the pack somehow be integrated with Scouts activities? Could kids earn themselves a diploma of some kind? Bringing a memory for your bedroom wall would be cool!

    I keep loving these ideas!!! What for aspirations could they add? Perhaps a herbalism specific one? Or a park ranger one? Or maybe a become the hermit one? I so wish they would allow us to visit secret lots from the map and allow us to build on them whatever we want, making “hermit’s home” be a lot challenge where no one walks by.
