Keep in mind that Outdoor Retreat was the first game pack they ever released--it was a new concept to try out. I think that it's great for socializing with your sims and having a vacation in nature. The herbalist skill was neat, as was finding new insects and such. I had fun trying to figure out where the hidden lot/NPC was.
Jungle Adventure has made me super excited--on the same level as Cats & Dogs did. Do I think it's a vast improvement from Outdoor Retreat? Yes. But as a first game pack, I still think Outdoor Retreat is a fun time (and less dangerous). :wink:
With a bit of imagination and modification, OR isn't that bad for a first game pack. My Sim just maxed out Herbalism, so now I'm brewing up some of the potions to take to Selvadorada. I've got one of the small cabin lots with a bunch of easels outside, so I use it for artists retreats especially once they get to the Paint from Reference level so I can get some nice landscape paintings. I also have a restaurant on the former campground lot, and I added a massage center/spa when my Sims need a bit of pampering.
