    Never 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.

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

    It's not a whole Add-on but it also brings some cool new stuff to Sims 4.
    It's better than the Stuff Packs, that were released during Sims 3, which only brought some new
    furniture without any kind of new Interactions.
    Here we have a new Neighbourhood, new furniture and new cool interactions!

    'It's a pricy expansion.' It is the same price as a stuff pack yet has a great deal more. If all you morons would stop complaining and realize that in TS3 you would get maybe half the things you do in this.

    Well, not a expansion pack, but still better than that stuff packs they used to release before. This game pack was a good way to add some good and playable things to the game, that suffered with the lack of stuffs and things when the base game was first released

    The Sims 4 Outdoor Retreat has fun new items, a unique aspirations, and new activities. It is nice to bring your virtual people to the outdoors but fails to give longevity outside of a brief vacation.

    The Sims 4 fans will enjoy this brand new game pack, that adds a few new features but ends up falling short in terms of new content.

    The new content is certainly welcome, but how much replay value the new area will generate still remains to be seen. In any case, the ability to crash your obnoxious Sim, permanently, at anyone's fancy digs is never going to get old.
