Now that we know a little more about what is coming, what plans do you have for getaways, custom venues, etc?Cinderellimouse , lilsimsie , and EmmaVane have given me an idea for a way to make money from finding a spouse for a Sim just starting out. You need Lovestruck and AA. Set up your Sim on a lot. When you get the offer to have 7 perfect dates, accept it. Set up a getaway on your home lot. Have 7 prospective spouses as your participants, and begin dating them. Choose player elimination as your way of eliminating them. It's possible to have at least 2 perfect dates in a 24-hour period, so do that. When elimination time comes, send home one of the first 2 Sims you dated. Date 2 the next day, and repeat. When you've finished your 7 dates, end the getaway. You'll get 25,000 simoleons for the 7 perfect dates and 10,000 for hosting a getaway, and hopefully, your Sim will have found the love of his or her life.

Oh, that's actually pretty creative. I was already planning on using the getaway system to help facilitate and arrange marriages for wealthy wizard family heirs. But this way makes it more interesting. And profitable!For me, I've been building up my main household and their future friends to play through summer camp. My main triplets, Naomi, Ren and Ray, will be going to summer camp while their parents work overtime with the summer rush at their bar.Naomi will get into Papercrafts and become more confident with art, leading to a future as a painter. Ray will learn about routine and dealing with his emotions, finally giving him the tools to lock in and become an astronaut. Ren will develop a love of nature that will help him bond with others, and lead him to become a florist one day.They'll be accompanied by their cousin, Hillary. The camping experience will help her make new friends and become more confident. Collecting all the different kinds of local butterflies will be a personal project for her.Mai will chronicle the group's adventures, which will help build her skills for when she becomes an author. She'll make friends, but learn not to just follow the crowd. She'll be looking into the mysteries of the lighthouse and the watchtower.Makenzie is going because she's really into peacefulness and nature. But she'll actually discover a natural gift for healing, and become the go-to nurse for kids when they feel like they can't tell the counselors about their shenanigans. It won't be surprising to learn that she becomes a doctor one day, with skills in Apothecary.Then there's Aaron, who's going to be the camp bully-turned-frienemy. He'll work out his issues through archery, leading him to a love of sports that will help toughen him up. Soon, he'll be strong enough to follow his dream of being a baker.And finally, the sim I used for a child-only rags to riches challenge, Dallas. He's going to camp while child services sorts out a living situation for him. He's spent so much time alone, but now's the perfect chance to make lifelong friends. My sims will basically try out the features of the pack while at camp, and maybe complete that map quest thing.

I really struggled with this tbh, not big into camps and vacation or elimination stuff and all that...but today it hit me: This is perfect for my Asylum! Which I had almost forgotten about since I hadnt found a way to make it work the way I wanted to. But with this pack it seems like I finally can! So now I am actually excited for it!

Karamazov123 Your Sim children look really interesting! I had several children who will be ready for camp, and I'm planning to send them to Camp Gibbi Gibbi to get a feel for the game. They're from different families, so I'll be able to play only one of them, but it will be interesting to see what the others come away with.I also have a Sim who might run a Senior Living facility in Ravenwood.And finally, I have an idea for a Back-to-Nature meditation retreat. Participants will sleep on the ground, forage for food, meditate, and do yoga. I'll build a roofed platform where they can sleep during rainstorms, but otherwise, totally open air.

I've never built on one of the big lots in Chestnut Ridge so I am thinking about a ranch getaway but not sure how it will work if I want to keep horses and other animals there for the visitors. I think I have to dig into it first and try some of the presets in the new world and see how I can expand it into the other worlds. Very excited for all the possibilities!

I am really looking forward to the world and the custom venues. I think I'll make an artist retreat in Tartosa and a hotel in Sulani.

Now that I've seen simmers playing the pack in early access, it looks like it's not a full broken pack. The glitches in the new pack will probably be small. So, my first plan is to finally make my Robin Hood a proper Archer.🏹 Also, I would make sure my Prairie Cree sim uses the Canoe a lot.🛶

While, I like horses. I don’t always want to own them. So I remodeled a ranch on the 64 x 64 lot in the wine neighborhood. It has an owners room +4 guest bedrooms. I moved in a sim couple that owns four horses. And then moved there three children into another lot in that world. My plan is to host getaways there. The couple will be the host and I’ll hire the children and various roles.To act as a dude ranch. Besides the horses, I added a sheep and goat, chickens, a cow, and a llama.

I know that there has been crashes with getaways and horses, so I will be testing this in my exploratory save.

Last minute (well yesterday), I decided to get this pack mostly for the butterflies (otherwise I probably could have waited till sale XD).
My plans, last night I started replicating a Sims 3 build I have which is a cross between a biodome and botanical garden. And in Sims 3 I went nuts with the butterfly vfx with the fog emitter and spawners. So that is going to be my first plans for AA, replicate a biodome/botanical garden.
It is suppose to be a 98-100% rainy day where I am at IRL, so I am ready with my cup of tea, puppy on my lap, and watching the clock for the pack to drop XD

Unfortunately it does not work. Going in I knew no sim would autonomously ride horses. That didn't bother me. But I found that even though I had staff to care for the animals. they would not be. Also while on a getaway the interaction to clean cows and llamas is not available. I could also not direct the horses.

That's a bummer 😞 So really the only way is to own the horses & other animals.
