Line 11: \|game = The Sims 4: Outdoor Retreat }} [[File:Granite Falls ingame icon.png\|left\|60px]]'''Granite Falls''' is a ~~sub-~~destination [[world]] introduced in ''[[The Sims 4: Outdoor Retreat]]'' game pack.~~<ref name="The Sims GP1 announcement">[http://www.thesims.com/news/ts4-gp01announce "Just What is a Game Pack?" by SimGuruGrant] on [[TheSims.com]]. Retrieved 20 December 2014</ref>~~ Sims can [[Vacationing\|vacation]] in Granite Falls for up to seven days, but cannot live there as in normal residential worlds~~. Sims with the Outdoor Enthusiast [[Aspiration (The Sims 4)\|aspiration]] or [[loves outdoors]] [[Trait (The Sims 4)\|trait]] will often want to go on vacation to Granite Falls~~. 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 ~~with roofs~~ for a ~~much more~~ 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.▼ Sims can access Granite Falls only through their [[Telephone\|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. While Sims cannot live in Granite Falls, they can technically reside there forever if the player keeps extending the vacation time indefinitely. However, this would require a constant income of [[Simoleon\|money]] in large amounts. Sims may also get a [[sad]] moodlet from being homesick while on vacation in Granite Falls. ~~Granite Falls is also not a fully isolated and empty, as other randomly chosen Sims from the save game will appear in the world, usually hiking around the campground neighborhood.~~ 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~~. Some families vacationing in rental lots may also sometimes not appear with the rest of their household~~.▼ When Sims first arrive to Granite Falls and have settled down in their [[rental]] lot, they will be greeted by a park ranger [[Non-playable character\|NPC]] who can provide basic information about Granite Falls, if Sims ask for camping information, which is one of the better ways to learn about the world the Sims are vacationing in. Park rangers will roam around the world all the time, so they are not hard to track down and are available for questioning all the time. ==Overview== ▲Granite Falls is a nature oriented location, surrounded by pine trees, lakes and sprawling valleys.

'''Camping and Cabins''' [[File:CampingandCabins.png\|left\|40px]] ''Whether you're roughing it out or glamping it, Granite Falls has a variety of sights to choose from'' '''Insect Collecting''' While Sims vacationing in Granite Falls cannot normally visit residential worlds, they 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.
