I’m trying to marry off one of my YA female Sims so she can move out of the family house but she doesn’t know anyone! She keeps meeting married men when out and about or random townies and I want her to meet the townies I want her to meet, but organically, it’s complicated lol
Anyway I decided to make it so she went on vacation and maybe she met one of them there. I sent her to Granite Falls for 3 days and had to leave early because we were both bored to tears! She just kept doing those nature walk hikes and playing horseshoes lol
Does anyone still vacation there? It’s been a while for me but maybe it’s more fun with a family or if you’re trying to complete that aspiration? Idk but I’m not seeing it for Outdoor Retreat these days unless I’m playing one of those “off the grid, they’ve shut off my utilities and now I have to use a bush” type of Sims.

I like having two vacation spots, and so different from each other. I've had Dad's and sons take fishing weekends to bond in GF. I've taken families to just get away from the grind of life.
I really wish we'd have more vacation spots.
Yea me too. There’s a whole big screen for vacation spots and those 2 lonely icons there are killing me lol
Considering it was the first GP it's a cute little pack -- sometimes I like having a place for my Sims to get out of the rat race for a bit. I've fixed up a few of the cabins to add more options -- for example, in the "family" cabins I've added some of the entertainment options from GT like the Don't Wake The Llama table and foosball; I like to have my families play games to build relationships.

You can always put in some community lots in the rental places to spice the place up if you like... make it so it suits your playstyle.
That is a really great idea! Why did I never think of that? I'm gonna edit my GF to have a spa, restaurant, at least. Thanks for the idea!
That said I do hope we get more vacation spots to choose from eventually.

I completely agree. It's so so so boring, and I regret buying it. Crossing my fingers the sims will create a "Tropical Vacation" pack! Granite Falls is definitely dying...
I like that idea.
Saying "not to be rude", then blatently being rude does not excuse rude behavior.
@stilljustme2, you can still fish in winter; you just need the temp erature thermometer to have blue in it & not be completely empty.
But thanks to the gallery I re-design my Granite Falls regularly, sometimes all of the lots get replaced to suit the needs of just one family that I plan to send. The only lot I keep all year round is my Outdoors Bar (in the hopes of bar invites via cellphone sending my sims there for bear night).
For a long time Granite Falls was my Winter-on-demand world with the Winter Wonderland mod. I'm not sure if it still works, but First Snow still does (just run the batch fix for seating objects in Sims 4 studio) and it also covers Granite Falls.
It's perfect for a romantic getaway, especially if the Sims are, ah, "involved" with someone else. Sometimes I take a couple to Granite Falls to get away from the hustle and bustle of regular Sim life.
It's also a great place for your vampire to go if they want to openly feed without ruining their relationships with people they know. And your vampire hasn't lived until they've bitten someone wearing a bear costume. I added an underground crypt with a coffin for my vampire vacationers.
Plus, Granite Falls is beautiful. I love to see the paintings my Sims make of the scenery. Sometimes I take Sims there just so I can enjoy the ambiance.
And all those plants and bugs and frogs and fish to collect! Not to mention the potions and salves you can make with a higher Herbalism skill.
Here is my thing about the destinations...
When my sims go to the parks there are literally no other sims there but mine. What is the deal with that?? I kept my park in JA labeled as the museum just so more sims show up and hang out. They stay for a bit and even use the other items like swimming and horseshoes and such.
On my blog (German) you'll find two completed vampire stories 🦇 and an ongoing ghost story 👻.
I'm also posting about my I'm surrounded by idi🤪ts! - challenge, in which I've now reached gen 9.
