'''''Explore the Outdoors!'''''
''Venture into the deep woods to discover new surprises, including dangerous and wondrous herbs, new species of fish, creepy insects and…bears? Hang out by the campfire before trying to find the [[hermit]] rumoured to live in the deepest parts of the forest.''
'''''KEY FEATURES'''''
'''''Wander into an All-New Destination''''' – ''Your Sims can now make an escape from their everyday lives into the pine-filled air of Granite Falls. Let’s just hope that your Sims aren’t squeamish about insects.''
'''''Set Up the Perfect Camp.''' No camping trip is complete without the proper supplies. Be sure to outfit your Sims with a tent and new hiking gear. Treat your Sims to some roasted marshmallows and share fireside stories of adventure, wonder, and fright with the gang.''▼
▲'''''Set Up
'''''Create Exotic Potions as an Herbalist.''' Build your Sim’s herbalism skill to create a variety of useful potions, ranging from insect repellant to a concoction that can help soothe a tense Sim. This new skill will be useful to help Sims identify which wild plants are edible or poisonous.''▼

== Features ==▼
''Outdoor Retreat'' introduces a new [[world]], [[Granite Falls]], which is only accessible while on vacation. It consists of two neighborhoods which feature a national park in one, and 5 lots for rent (4 houses and a campground) in the other. Sims can go [[vacationing]] in this world and can do so via smartphone under the ''Travel'' section. A vacation can last for up to 7 sim-days, however they can be extended through a Sim's smartphone. These days count against Sim's Vacation Days if they are employed, so job performance will lower if employed Sims vacation too long with no vacation days available, but only on days they have work. ▼
'''''Gather around the Campfire''''' – ''Treat your Sims to some roasted marshmallows and tell fireside stories of adventure, wonder and fright for the whole gang. ''
Sims can now Stargaze and Cloudgaze, which can make them Inspired. Sims can also take part in group activities with other Sims such as telling a group story, or Stargazing/Cloudgazing in a group.▼
▲'''''Create Exotic Potions as an Herbalist
A new [[Trait (The Sims 4)|trait]], [[Aspiration (The Sims 4)|aspiration]] and [[skill]] are introduced in ''Outdoor Retreat''. Sims with the Squeamish trait will become '''Uncomfortable''' at the sight of insects, vomiting, violence, death and anything dirty. Your Sim cannot be Squeamish and Love the Outdoors. The aspiration (a Nature one), is called ''Outdoor Enthusiast''. These Sims "want to experience everything nature has to offer." Sims can learn the Herbalism Skill, and with it they can identify plants, insects and even make remedies, such as an insect repellent.▼
==New features==
Sims can now host a new party: Weenie Roast. Getting a gold award will unlock the ''Hand Carved Chess Table'', and getting a silver one will unlock the ''Let's Go Fishing Chair''. One Sim will be the "Grill Master," as well as 1 host and at least 2 guests. ▼

Controversy erupted when the Australian and New Zealand versions of ''Outdoor Retreat'' were priced at launch at $40{{WP|AUD}} and $50{{WP|NZD}}, respectively. EA called the pricing mishap an "accident" and dropped the price of the Game Pack to $39.99 in New Zealand and $29.99 in Australia, and provided refunds for those who purchased it prior to the price drop.
