Hey guys,
so I was thinking about getting Outdoor Retreat 'cause I have no destination worlds in my game so far and thought it may be worth it. It seems kind of fun but I'm not sure how it holds up 5 years later, especially compared to other packs.
Do you guys still use it or enjoy it?
EDIT: I also want to add I do enjoy vacations in the Sims (have played them a lot in previous Sims games) and I like watching my sims chill out with friends. So if anyone else also likes this stuff and didn't enjoy the pack pls let me know
Where's my Sims 5 squad at?

The BB stuff looks like you can either place it outdoors or in a cabin in the woods. I love the tents, the coolers, the outdoor showers and beds for my rags to riches gameplay, so for me they're pretty essential.
Whether I like Granite Falls is more difficult to answer. It is definitely visually appealing, but I am not into the Herbalism skill anymore so there can be a lack of things to do. Although if you have Spa Day, you can replace one lot with a spa. That's really the only reason my Sims take vacations there anymore - they do a Spa Retreat and focus on the Wellness skill for a couple of days.
It is definitely worth it on sale unless none of what I wrote sounds like it could add to your game.

Great gameplay ideas. @Netzspannung It is on 50% sale right now in Germany so I guess I'll grab it, eventhough I was saving money for an Eco Lifestyle Bundle this Friday.
Yeah one crucial reason why I want to buy this pack is to go camping in Sulani with my Sims in the summer 'cause there are no resorts and also have a winter vacation lot, cause snowy Granite Falls looks awesome.
A cute litttle detail I love about the pack is the herbalism skill and how you can forage for Morel mushrooms-which is something my hubby and I do irl.
I use the shoes and clothes all the time. I just took my Sims camping when I played last weekend. The outdoor enthusiast aspiration is tedious but very doable. ... And you get bears. Your Sims kids may go through a bear phase. Let them wear a bear suit or they get sad. It's cute!

@MaggieMarley Thanks for the heads up, I thought of that aswell but I don't consider JA a real vacation world because of how much focus there is on going on an adventure, almost every lot is locked behind a question mark. I just want my sims to chill and hang out and you can certainly do that in JA but there is a different focus for sure. Also if I need a place with hot weather I usually prefer Sulani.
I know this is an unpopular opinion but I really dislike Jungle Adventure maybe cause I loved World Adventures in the Sims 3 so much idk and since there is no place to go during the winter I prefer Outdoor Retreat more I guess.

Herbalism recipes can now work while Off-The-Grid, however only on Off-The-Grid supported stoves.
As it's not affected by the eco lifestyles ups and downs it might be nice to play it to get some relief from that sometimes and the new ladder and off the grid stuff will come in useful!
Make sure, before you play it that you put your Sims in winter wear before they venture out in the Winter and the thermostat in homes (if you have Seasons) as they tend to die if conditions and wear not right!
Yeah I think people don't like it much because they don't realize how much you can do with it. Especially now, combined with snow, bikes, spas etc. you can turn it into a real vacation place.
Oh nice. Here I had this list of reasons why you should definitely get this pack laid out lol but decided to scroll back up and here was this comment. You'll love it! Lots to do! There are some really cool cabin type restaurants on the gallery too, be sure to check them out.
Have you considered the Jungle Adventure pack for the vacation world?
