SimGurus shared a bunch of new information on Twitter about The Sims 4’s latest Game Pack – Outdoor Retreat! Some of these Tweets mention how this Pack will only be available for digital purchase and not retail and SimGuruSarah also reveals that we’re getting a new NPC with this pack – a bear!
Game Packs in The Sims 4 will have LOTS of new features, new gameplay, new clothing, new objects — for the same price as a TS3 Stuff Pack.

To compare, TS3/TS2 Stuff Packs just had objects and clothing with zero new gameplay. How cool is that? I’m so excited. — Grant Rodiek (@SimGuruGrant) December 19, 2014
Remember a few weeks ago when I said I’m working on my favorite Sims feature ever? That feature is the bear costume. — Grant Rodiek (@SimGuruGrant) December 19, 2014
Folks are asking: Game packs fit in between Stuff and Expansion. Like Goldilocks. Stuff Packs < Game Packs < Expansion Packs — Grant Rodiek (@SimGuruGrant) December 19, 2014
@JohnBigOz OutDoor Retreat will be available as a digital download. — Shannon Copur (@SimGuruShannon) December 19, 2014
@adventfear @Cinderellimouse Think of Game Packs as smaller Expansion Packs. We make content as needed where it fits and is fun. — Grant Rodiek (@SimGuruGrant) December 19, 2014
@Simmer_BN We determine this on a case by case basis, as with all content. We won’t always have Traits, or Skills, or worlds, etc. for all. — Grant Rodiek (@SimGuruGrant) December 19, 2014
@HugDopey @SimGuruGrant @SimGuruLakshmi Granite Falls is a Destination world, which means you can vacation there. All of the camping items.. — Sarah Holding (@SimGuruSarah) December 19, 2014
@HugDopey @SimGuruGrant @SimGuruLakshmi …are available in Buy mode and you can use them on lots in any world. — Sarah Holding (@SimGuruSarah) December 19, 2014
@luizmartins2602 It features our Campground mascot, Stanley the Jackalope! — Sarah Holding (@SimGuruSarah) December 19, 2014
@DaletheSim @justproud2b @HugDopey @SimGuruGrant @SimGuruLakshmi You can visit a Destination world & you can extend your vacation infinitely

@DaletheSim @justproud2b @HugDopey @SimGuruGrant @SimGuruLakshmi But it is not a residential world like Willow Creek and Oasis Springs.

@sharkloverplaye And yes, there are waterfalls – several of them 😉
— Sarah Holding (@SimGuruSarah) December 19, 2014
@sharkloverplaye I totally thought of you while we were adding waterfalls 😉

@LuckyLunayre Both! Anyone can dress up as a Bear, and a special Bear Trickster NPC roams Granite Falls causing trouble….
