Q&A: Adventure Awaits
#AD (just in case this counts as social media) I can tell you ahead of time this time... I was invited to join the CFE (not final build) opportunity for The Sims 4: Adventure Awaits. Thank you to...
Forum Discussion
Thanks for doing these! When the embargo lifts I’m really curious to hear about how the new activities/ and skills will work with ones from older packs:
- Can you build the new entomology skill by collecting insects (Outdoor Retreat) or using the insect home (Eco Lifestyle)?
- Does the jumping platform (Get Together) build the new diving skill?
- Does panning for crystals build the Gemology Skill (Crystal Creations)?
- Are the new retro games consoles cross-compatible/ have the same game options as the ones from City Living?
- Are the free weights from Lovestruck also able to be used functionally?
CROSS-PACK GAMEPLAY (WIP)

City Living - Original x Retro Gaming Console?
They are different and only one can be connected to each TV at a time (the first one placed will connect). The Retro Console only has the two games shown in the screenshots/trailers (a RAMPAGE clone called TANTRUM and a Pokémon-like Voidcritters game), unless others unlock with the Video Gaming Skill. Both can be played single or multi-player, but neither has online play options, which makes sense for a dated device). It is the cheapest console at only 300 Simoleons.
Eco Lifestyle - Bug Farm?
Compatible with the Entomology Skill.
Get Together - Jumping Platform?
Compatible with the Diving Skill.
Island Living/Adventure Awaits - Water Vehicle Docks & Open Water Ladders?
You can use all both in both worlds on Waterfront Lots, but neither gives Diving Skill when diving off of docks.
Lovestuck - Free Weights?
Just décor still, sorry.
Seasons - Bee Box?
Compatible with the Entomology Skill.
Systems
Basegame/Pack - Events on Getaways?
Not completely sure. I think you can, but only the un-goaled version. I planned a MWS Wedding Event at the Von Haunt Estate in testing. Though I was allowed to set the Traditions, once the event started it removed them and ran as an un-goaled event.
Seasons - Holidays during Getways?
Not sure on this one. They seem to start and run fine if you are currently on a Getaway. Starting a new Getaway will end them early though, at least in the once case I've had this happen so far.
Miscellaneous
Outdoor Retreat - Insects?
Untested so far.
