The Sims 4: Outdoor Retreat Description

Outdoor Retreat is the first paid add-on for The Sims 4. It is also the first “gameplay pack”, being a middle ground between accessory packs, which the previous game received, and the classic big expansions. Just like in the original game, the add-on was developed by Maxis.

The most important element of Outdoor Retreat is a new location called Granite Cascades. We’re dealing with a place untouched by the humankind where the Sims run away from their day-to-day routine, especially when they’re very tired. The player gets to perform many previously unavailable activities, such as camping, horseshoe throwing, roasting sausages over a fire or gathering herbs (which involves a skill). There is no shortage of other bonuses, such as a bear costume and NPC using it (which bugs the Sims), as well as the mascot of the horned rabbit, Stanley.
