Herbalism is a skill in The Sims 4: Outdoor Retreat that focuses on a Sim's ability to identify various herbs and brew many herbal remedies that could be beneficial in the vacation world of Granite Falls. In order to properly advance in herbalism, Sims can also raise their gardening skill, as the two skills go together hand in hand as a Sim unlocks remedy recipes. Raising this skill is also one of the main objectives of the Outdoor Enthusiast aspiration.

Sims can learn herbalism by collecting and identifying wild plants found in Granite Falls, more specifically in Granite Falls Forest, and by brewing those wild plants into remedies on an outdoor grill. Talking about herbalism with the hermit of Granite Falls may also give a slight skill increase. Another way to learn herbalism is by traditionally reading skill books.

Identifying herbs
Sims can build herbalism by identifying the various herbs that grow in Granite Falls Forest. The chance to successfully identify the plant is increased by the Herbalism skill. Another way is through brewing the herbal recipes, and as always there is a Herbalism skill book that Sims can read.

Recipes
New recipes are the only unlockable features that come with the Herbalism skill. Naturally, the main ingredients of these recipes are Herbs, however some also require produce from Gardening and/or Insects. Both Herbs and Insects can be found around the Granite Falls forest area. It should be noted that Morel Mushrooms can only be found in the Hidden Area with the Hermit and some Insects, e.g. Will-o-the-Wisp and Dust Spirits, can only be found at night.
