Retrieved 20 December 2014</ref> Sims can vacation in Granite Falls for up to seven days., Simsbut withcannot thelive Outdoorthere Enthusiastas [[Aspirationin (Thenormal Simsresidential 4)|aspiration]] or [[loves outdoors]] [[Trait (The Sims 4)|trait]] will often want to go on vacation to Granite Fallsworlds.
 
Granite Falls is a nature oriented location, surrounded by pine trees, lakes and sprawling valleys. It is heavily oriented around camping and the activities related to it, but Sims can also rent pre-built indoor lots for a comfier experience. Once Sims have settled down, they can start exploring the bug-infested woods with a special self-interaction that allows them to go [[Hiking and jogging|hiking]]. Many campfires are located throughout the woods, allowing Sims to have a nice place to grill food or tell stories to each other. [[Ranger station]]s are also present and offer Sims a way to buy objects necessary for camping and can also provide general information about the campgrounds. Various [[bear]]s, who will make Sims [[tense]], will also roam around the world, mostly in the campground area.
 
If there are any empty rental lots available as the player's Sims are vacationing, the game will randomly choose a family from the save game's worlds and populate the empty rental lots with those chosen families. However, in order for currently unplayed Sims to appear in Granite Falls they do not need to be in a rental lot, and can appear in the world in a similar fashion to [[townie]]s.

==Climate==
==Travelling and invites==
Granite Falls experiences four distinct seasons if ''[[The Sims 4: Seasons]]'' is installed. Summer temperatures are generally hot to heat wave with mostly sunny skies. Winters are characterized by snow and blizzards and cold to freezing temperatures. Fall temperatures range from warm to cool with occasional snow and rain. Springs are wet and cool to warm. 
Sims can access Granite Falls only through their phone or computer's 'Take a Vacation' function. For some reason, children can also initiate vacations through the computer. Like visits to other lots or worlds, Sims can invite up to seven other Sims. However, Sims who are not part of the household will later leave the vacation lot if they have school/work that falls in the middle of vacation and will not be able to return to the vacation lot once their school/work day is over.
 
Sims on vacation can still receive calls inviting them to events in the 'main' worlds and accept them. Once those events are over, Sims will not be able to return to the vacation lot automatically and will instead have to make their way home. However, the player can switch control to one of the Sims still on the vacation and have the Sim who attended the event rejoin the vacation.
 
==Trivia==
* Granite Falls was originally going to be named Misty Pines.<ref>[https://twitter.com/SimGuruSarah/status/555188840260837376 SimGuruSarah's tweet] on Twitter.</ref>
* There's a city three cities in the US named Granite Falls, one in [https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Granite_Falls,_North_Carolina North Carolina], one in [[wikipedia:Granite Falls, WashingtonMinnesota|Minnesota]] and one in [[wikipedia:Granite Falls, Washington|Washington]]. However, it bears a closer resemblance to Washington.
* The name may be a reference to the ''[[wikipedia:Gravity Falls|Gravity Falls]]'' TV series.
