However, it focuses more on camping, similar to vacationing in [[Vacation Island]]'s ''Forest'' area in ''Vacation'' and [[Three Lakes]] in ''Bon Voyage''.<ref name="SimsCommunity.net">[http://simscommunity.net/2014/12/16/sims-4-outdoor-retreat-gameplay-pack/ The Sims 4 Outdoor Retreat Gameplay Pack]. ''Sims Community''. Retrieved 19 December 2014.</ref> ==Official description== ~~[[File:The Sims 4 Outdoor Retreat Logo.png\|left\|120px]]~~'''''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.'' Line 53: ==New features== ===New gameplay objects=== * [[Campfire]]s * [[Cooler]]s * [[Horseshoes\|Horseshoe pit]]s * Outdoor [[shower]] * Outdoor variants of beds, chairs and showers * Portable freezer * [[Tent]]s ===New gameplay mechanics=== ''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~~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 when they have work. 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. 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. Sims cannot be squeamish and loves 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. 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. New food can be cooked through the use of a fire pit. These include marshmallows, hot dogs and even bugs. Line 72: Over 60 outdoorsy items are introduced in ''Outdoor Retreat''. Some items are designed to be used when camping (such as portable beds, tents and foodstuffs), and can be purchased from the ranger's station in the national park or in build mode; the other pieces of furniture can also be purchased through build mode. New clothes are also available, including a bear suit. When a Sim wears a bear suit, they gain access to some new social interactions, such as a mean social interaction called ''"Roar''". The roared-at Sim will get a [[tense]] +2 [[List of Moodlets (The Sims 4)\|moodlet]] "Scary Bear!". Before [[The Sims 4/Patch 12\|Patch 12]], the main menu would show clips of Sims using the various items from ''Outdoor Retreat''. This is because Patch 12 updated the main menu and replaced the clips with a static picture with animated confetti, as well as the ''"Play''" and ''"[[Create a Sim]]''" buttons moved to the middle-right of the screen. ==Styled rooms== Line 118: \|-\|Images = <gallery> TS4 Granite Falls 1.png\|Pre-release screenshot of [[Granite Falls]]~~, the neighborhood introduced with ''Outdoor Retreat''~~.
