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''~~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~~vacation ~~Days~~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~~[[inspired]]. Sims can also take part in group activities with other Sims such as telling a group story, or ~~Stargazing~~stargazing/~~Cloudgazing~~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~~[[squeamish]] trait will become ~~'''Uncomfortable'''~~[[uncomfortable]] at the sight of insects, vomiting, violence, death and anything dirty. ~~Your Sim~~Sims cannot be ~~Squeamish~~squeamish and ~~Love~~loves ~~the Outdoors~~outdoors. The aspiration (a ~~Nature~~nature one), is called ''Outdoor Enthusiast''. These Sims "want to experience everything nature has to offer." Sims can learn the ~~Herbalism~~[[herbalism]] ~~Skill~~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. 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~~ranger's ~~Station~~station in the ~~National~~national ~~Park~~park or in ~~Build~~build ~~Mode~~mode; the other pieces of furniture can also be purchased through ~~Build~~build ~~Mode~~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~~mean social interaction called ''"Roar''". The roared-at Sim will get a ~~'''Tense'''~~[[tense]] ~~'''~~+2~~'''~~ [[List of Moodlets (The Sims 4)\|~~Moodlet~~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~~ rooms==▼ ''The Sims 4: Outdoor Retreat'' features six new ~~Styled~~styled ~~Rooms~~rooms, which can be purchased in ~~Build~~build ~~Mode~~mode.▼ ▲== Styled Rooms == ▲''The Sims 4: Outdoor Retreat'' features six new Styled Rooms which can be purchased in Build Mode. ~~{{Expand}}~~ ===Natural Washroom=== Price: §3,498 Line 111 ⟶ 114: 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. == Gallery == <tabber> \|-\|Images = <gallery> TS4 Granite Falls 1.png\|Pre-release screenshot of [[Granite Falls]]~~, the neighborhood introduced with ''Outdoor Retreat''~~.
