    Your Three Bears House is great @KarilynMonroe2 :) Nice log seats sitting area in the front yard for sims to enjoy sitting outdoors in the air having a chat. The paving on the front pathway looks nice. Very nice layout of the interior of the home. It looks great how you have placed the three beds for the bears in the bedroom with floor rugs in between them. The forest themed floor rugs look nice in the bathroom and kitchen. Nice dining area for the sims to enjoy eating their meals with the warmth of the fireplace there. The placement of the trees in the build looks great.
    Your Bears household will like staying there :)

    The sims look like they enjoy spending time at your pub bar venue @fullspiral. :) The gnome and jackalope on the table under the tv look great there for the sims to see whilst watching tv.

    Great Builds everyone! very creative community!

    So far I've build only 1 lot since Outdoor Retreat came out - was playing too much and didn't have time to build)) But I thought I can share my vacation cabin here too. In case somebody likes it and would like to download - it's in the gallery under "Riverside Cabin" name. Also my origin user name is white_lily_0206 if it would be hard to find it

    The house is small - 30X20 - but it's cute and cozy. Perfect for a couple that just married and wants to spend a honeymoon together or a family with 2 kids. The lot also has tent on the backyard in case your sims bring their friend with them on vacation :)

    @white_lily_1998, that is a very cute cottage. I would love to holiday there myself! I like how the bathroom is separate, very quaint.

    I can't wait until we get seasons, it will be great seeing this little house with snow on the roof. So cozy.

    Rosemow asked me if I would share my little starter camp-style residence here but I do not recommend placement in Granite Falls! It was made for Oasis Springs on a 20x15 lot so you can camp all year! :p

    Old Mesquite Campground is a great place for sims to enjoy camping outdoors @TheGreenLion :) Great layout of the build. The enlarged truck there looks great. Nice campfire area for sims to enjoy sitting near the fire roasting food and chatting. It looks nice that you have used two colours of the campfire seating and have a tree stump seat as well as the chairs. It is great that you have a tent there, and the cooler outside it will be great for sims to get drinks or a quick meal from. The camping food decor items look nice on the table outside the tent. Sims will enjoy cooking on the grill and eating their meals in the sunshine at the picnic table . Sims will enjoy growing and harvesting plants in the garden boxes. Sims will enjoy doing woodworking on the woodwork table, painting on the easel or have fun playing horseshoes. The garden hose is a nice touch on the bathroom exterior wall. Nice texture of the interior walls in the bathroom.
    It is a great build with many facilities for enjoying living outdoors :)

    Gorgeous build @suepea - did you use any cc? :)

    No CC but I did use the MOO cheat and the career unlock cheat as well. Thanks for reminding me, forgot to mention. Probably best to turn the bb.moveobjects on and the bb.ignoregameplayunlocksentitlement before DLing.

    Thanks for the kind comment!
