Whoa! That's the First Time …
…I've had a Sim walk through a mud puddle and not fallen on his assets! Those pirate boots must really grip. Please, let's make this a fun little thread about first times. :)

I sent my Sim on vacation to Granite Falls for the first time last night after getting my new gaming desktop. He's part of my Extreme Rags to Riches challenge and needed to get the Camp Mascot schematic. Anyway, after he got that, I sent him to look around for collectibles, insects and go fishing. He then went to the national park/deep forest to visit the Hermit's hidden area.
I've sent Sims through the brambles many, many times since Outdoor Retreat was released, so I know the dialogue that's asked of a Sim to successfully get there.
They must've updated it with the Seasons pre-patch because something happened that never has in the past. A pop-up said something along the lines of, "Your Sim sees something shiny and very tempting. Should he grab it or ignore it?" I told him to grab it thinking perhaps it was a crystal he could sell on the yard sale table.
The next pop-up said, "Your Sim is totally freaked out! I don't know what that was, and I don't want to know." He then came running back out of the brambles in a panic and he got a 'tense' moodlet with a terrified looking emoji face. It said something like, "Freaked out by monster in the brambles." I LOVE that! It should've been a 'fear' moodlet instead of tense in my opinion though, but we don't have that as of yet.
Maybe that particular dialogue has always been a part of going through the brambles, but that's the first time I personally have ever seen it. :)
Happy Simming Y'all! <3

Spoiler
On a side note: While the world looks more beautiful than ever and the multitude of pine trees, insects, plants, etc. didn't lag my game at all like it would on the toaster laptop, there were some unfortunate glitches happening that I don't think had anything to do with my desktop. ALL the insects are now mosquitoes. Everywhere I had my Sim look that had reliably generated a particular kind of insect were mosquitoes, that's it. EVERY insect spawn site was mosquitoes. o.O
Also, at all the fishing spots, fish still jump as usual, but some of the jumping spots are glitched. All you see is the water splash and rings where a fish should be seen jumping, but no fish, over and over and over ad infinitum. Most of the wild plants are already identified too, but I knew about that bug/glitch already. I hope this will all be fixed in the next patch.
