We can bearly wait to meet you!

The new "tagline" for Outdoor Retreat in the game kinda makes me sad. Come back to play with more next week? I vaguely recall them saying the same thing about pools and completely missing their chance to tell me to "make a splash" or "jump into fun!"

This time, I don't want all of my awesomely bad puns going completely to waste, and I hope I'm not the only one. How would you have advertised Outdoor Retreat in the game? Or, if you don't have any ideas of your own, what tagline would make you want to "come back to play with more next week?"

Here are a few ideas to get us started...
We can bearly wait to meet you, ideally with a picture of the bear suit peeking out from behind a tree or looking sneaky.

"... Give me back my golden hand!" Come back next week to tell your own campfire story. Featuring something like this.

Join us next week, when we bear it all in the great outdoors! With some kind of streaking in nature photo... It'd go best with skinny dipping, but I don't think they have that in 4 yet.

You can get the buzz next week, with a pic of the bear swatting away the flies or bees or whatever they were in that one video.

    I wouldn't be surprised if they skimped on the marketing budget, when you consider how the final product turned out during TS4's release.

    Make use of your vacation time is an obvious connection they could have used.
    That was my thought when I looking at the vacation days my sims had acquired.
    They could go camping.

    Well, I mean- they clearly pulled a few brain muscles coming up with this little gem under the tag: What else would you expect a bear in the woods to do? so, they were probably exhausted...

    Here's a way to make your game even cooler, with an image of the bear rummaging through the cooler. Like this!

    All I could think of when I first saw that video was "If a bear poops in the woods and there's no one there to smell it..."

    I don't know if this will be an included function but something fun might have been "Bring your sticks and marshmallows to the fire!"
    I hope you can make smores or at least toast marshmallows.

    "This game pack is so fun, you can bearly handle it!"

    "There is so much to do that, when your Sims eventually leaf Granite Falls to return home, they'd feel satisfy for having a fun, fulfilling vacation!"

    I thought of the old confirmation....someone asks you a question and you want to affirm the answer so you say "Do wild bears plum in the woods?" I'm guessing they didn't use this tagline because they didn't want the GP to be associated with what wild bears do in the woods.
