Now I thought this was prettyNever really understood all the lukewarm responses to this game pack. It's $20 but I got it for $15 on sale. Now I thought this was pretty fun. You get a new world called Granite Falls. You book vacations to it to spend some days either roughing it in the campground or live nicer in a lodge for your time. You plan out how many days and each one shows their rates. Once you have booked a stay, you can then travel to the forest and there are more things to do there like collecting, herbalism skill to improve, fishing, telling ghost stories, roasting weenies. I really have enjoyed this and think the reviews seem too lackluster. Out of all the packs I have at the moment (and I have them all right now), I have gotten the most use out of this one. I honestly would've paid full price for this one. The new build mode items are interesting and I have a nice campground even at my house. The clothing items are awesome and I enjoyed them all. My only complaint is that I would like to change some of the houses on the campground. I think that some people have actually done this but when I placed a new house on one of the lots, it changed the rate in accordance to the building, but I got stuck in a loop. I rebooted the game and tried again and the same thing happened. This pack would be perfect if that could be fixed. Definitely a 9/10 and totally underrated.… Expand

   When this pack first was released, there was a lot of buzz surrounding it, most likely because it was the first expansion to the Sims 4 baseWhen this pack first was released, there was a lot of buzz surrounding it, most likely because it was the first expansion to the Sims 4 base game, however five years on, and with hindsight, seeing the flaws in this pack becomes a lot easier.
   The focus of this pack is being able to go camping at the new woodland vacation destination, Granite Falls. While this is a nice idea, and something which does mix up the game a bit- realistically how often are you going to go on vacation? As the years have gone on, the less and less I have used this pack and I've almost forgotten i even have it installed in my game.
   
   While the Create-a-Sim and Build/Buy features are quite a nice addition, they're not essential, and all stick to a very rustic, woodland theme. And the gameplay is very mediocre and forgettable, with little that will change your everyday gameplay and I would only recommend buying it if you have most/all the other game packs, or if it is on offer, however your $20 could be much better spent on game packs such as Dine Out or Parenthood, which add a lot of new gameplay, or Spa Day, which adds some of the best CAS and Build/Buy items that the game has had to date.… Expand

   It adds a very specific spectrum of content that few will find entertaining, and even less will find worth the price. Add to that the annoyances such as the bear suit that sometimes appears in the main neighborhoods, and you may even find your experience worsened by this pack.
