Starting a new Sim for this review forced me to spend my first hour working just to get enough money to buy supplies and pay for my vacation.
On top of that you need to buy a tent and supplies if you are camping and that can get costly.
The campgrounds and cabins all have daily rates you need to pay. To get there you have to click on your phone and schedule a vacation, up to seven days, and then select where you want to stay. My only real complaint was the fact that you cannot buy any of the lots to build a home, and permanently live in Granite Falls. It features campgrounds, cabins of different luxuries, and a deep forest to explore. The new area introduced in Outdoor Retreat is Granite Falls and it is a fun, unique, and overall well polished Sims town. I had a blast for my first few hours exploring the forest, fishing, and meeting new Sims. If you have been looking for a camping adventure then The Sims 4 Outdoor Retreat is a great place to start. With a focus around camping, fishing, and collecting there is a lot of content in this game pack, although it may be the weakest game pack available. With the career and work centereed expansions, it is time for the Sims to take a vacation, and luckily Outdoor Retreat offers just that.
