A Full Walkthrough to Earning Rewards in The Sims 4 Nature’s Calling Week 1!

Back in May, the official Sims Blog revealed that the next live event would be titled “Nature’s Calling” and showcased the four weeks’ worth of free items up for grabs. Today, on June 23rd, the event has officially begun! Players have until August 5th (subject to extension) to complete the event’s tasks and earn the rewards. The Sims team released a trailer for the event, and you can check it out below. Let’s take a look at how to complete week 1 of the Nature’s Calling event!

Starting Out

As soon as you open the game, you will be greeted by one of those (honestly annoying) pop-ups, featuring Dahlia Fern. By clicking ‘Play Now’, you will be taken to the event menu, where you can view all quests and rewards.

Once open, you will see a layout similar to past events, with the rewards being displayed along the bottom. By clicking the quests tab, you can view current and upcoming quests available with the Sims 4 Nature’s Calling Event Week 1. You can even claim a starter reward, the ‘Reclaimed Woodworking Table’, without having to do anything!

‘Whispers on the Wind’ Quest Steps

For my playthrough of the Nature’s Calling event, I decided to send Bob and Eliza on a couples retreat to the forests of Copperdale to see if I could fix their relationship. It also makes for a perfect backdrop for the nature of this event!

Once in-game, a pop-up should appear telling you about ancient secrets, and promises of romance, discovery, and tranquillity. Once you click ‘OK,‘ three goals will appear in the top right. The third goal may be an optional goal for players who own specific packs. For me, the goal was to purchase a Romantic blanket from The Sims 4 Lovestruck and place it on my home lot.

For this next step, I had Bob and Eliza sit around the fire pit and roast some marshmallows to complete the ‘Have a Sim Spend Time Outdoors’ goal. My next goal was to visit any park. For this objective, I sent Bob to the nearby Totter Park, just in time for the next objective, ‘Fish in a pond’!

After a brief fishing trip next to a Sim with questionable makeup, it was time for the next objective. It was now time for Bob to ‘Listen to the Wind on a Park Bench’. So I had Bob do exactly that by selecting a park bench and choosing ‘Listen to the Wind’.

After completing this objective, I was given a pop-up notification telling me I had earned some event reward points that could be redeemed in the event reward store. I also received a very strange notification from a mysterious stranger whispering in the wind…

‘Attuned to the Echoes’ Quest Steps

After completing the first quest, the game wasted no time in throwing me straight into the next one. I received a pop-up informing me that the call of nature is growing stronger, and was then given three new objectives to complete!

I took Bob back to the campsite and purchased the ‘Reclaimed Woodworking Table’. I then decided to have Bob spend the afternoon cloudgazing by clicking on Bob and selecting ‘Cloudgaze’.

After Bob was done seeing pancake-shaped clouds, I had him head over to Eliza and perform the ‘Ask About the Whispers’ interaction. It seems as though Eliza is also hearing these strange voices…

I was then tasked with crafting two woodwork sculptures. Thankfully, I had already claimed and purchased the ‘Reclaimed Woodworking Table’, so Bob got to work on his very first sculpture!

After completing a couple of horse sculptures, I sent Bob on an evening jog to complete the next objective.

After Bob returned from his jog, I received a notification informing me that I had completed the second quest. I had now earned enough points to claim all rewards available in week 1. Check them out below!

Week 1 Rewards

For week 1 there are a total of seven rewards up for grabs after completing the two quests. Unfortunatley, the more exciting rewards come in later weeks, but for now let’s take a look at our winnings!

Small Rewards

After claiming all rewards, I could find Touch Grass Weekly, Issue #1, Handiness Vol 1: Try Not To Die, and a potion named Instant Hygiene that is much needed after Bob’s jog.

Odonata Glasses

These fairy glasses, first revealed before the announcement of Enchanted by Nature Expansion Pack, were almost certainly a hint of what’s to come. The official description reads: “These specs give a whole new meaning to the phrase ‘bug eyes'”.

The Reclaimed Woodworking Table

You don’t even have to play the event quests to unlock this one as it is available for free to all players!

Bonus: §5000

I could’ve just typed in ‘kaching’ five times, but it’s always nice to be rewarded for your efforts!

Future Rewards

That’s all for this week, but make sure to check back next Tuesday for a full walkthrough of Week 2 of the Nature’s Calling event!
