The Sims 4 Adventure Awaits looks to be a jam-packed expansion with plenty of content to explore on its own. However, one of the best aspects of The Sims 4 is how well so much of the DLC works together to give a fuller experience. Let’s look at some of the past DLC releases that I think will work incredibly well as companion packs for The Sims 4 Adventure Awaits.
I’ll be choosing two different packs from each DLC type: expansions, game packs, stuff packs, and kits.

Companion Packs for The Sims 4 Adventure Awaits
Expansion Packs
Growing Together
As the upcoming expansion includes so much new content for child sims, it would be impossible not to suggest Growing Together as one of the first companion packs for The Sims 4 Adventure Awaits. Let’s be honest, it’s not often that packs include new gameplay for children. Thankfully, so much of the upcoming expansion focuses on the growth and development of children. Adding in all of the childhood content from Growing Together will have your child Sims feeling more alive than ever before.
The new modular playground equipment will work wonderfully with the modular splash pad equipment included in the Growing Together expansion pack. Growing Together also added several child aspirations, the child confidence system, and plenty of new activities for kids like learning to ride bikes and making friendship bracelets.
Name a better vibe than exchanging bracelets with friends from summer camp.
Island Living
What better location for a relaxing wellness retreat than the island of Sulani? Island Living already feels like a vacation pack without actually being a vacation pack, so these two expansions will work incredibly well together. The island vibes are just what your Sims need for their latest health and wellness retreat to energize them for that next promotion. The world alone makes this one of the great companion packs for The Sims 4 Adventure Awaits.
Only time will tell, but hopefully the new activities introduced in Adventure Awaits will be possible in other worlds like Sulani as well. Kayaking in the ocean. Pan sifting the beaches for little treasures. Catching butterflies around the island.
One aspect we know will really pop off with the two expansions together is recreating the hit reality show Survivor by creating a challenge retreat on the beach. Sulani really is the best world partner world for everything being introduced in Adventure Awaits.
Game Packs
Spa Day
I believe this is the absolute best of the companion packs for The Sims 4 Adventure Awaits, even better than the aforementioned expansion packs. Spa Day adds so many amazing activities for your health and wellness retreats.
To accompany the new free weights, stationary bikes, and blenders, you’ll also have access to yoga, massages of all kinds, saunas, mud baths, and more. Your Sim can do a guided yoga class in the morning followed by spin class in the afternoon to get themselves back into shape.
With Spa Day being the only pack to receive a pack refresh years ago, it became better than ever. Manicures and pedicures, face masks, three new aspirations, a new trait. If you looked past it previously, it’s definitely time for you to take another look at one of the greatest companion packs for The Sims 4 Adventure Awaits.
Parenthood
Much like Growing Together, this is another of the best companion packs for The Sims 4 Adventure Awaits because of its focus on child Sims. Parenthood helps flesh out children by introducing the character values system. Every action your child Sim does affects their character values and having a low or high enough score in each of the five different categories can lead them to develop a different trait.
This system along with the new Formative Moments system in Adventure Awaits will make your children all feel unique from one another, making their lives feel fuller and richer than ever before. If you’re looking to create well-rounded children, it’s one of the companion packs for The Sims Adventure Awaits just for you.
Stuff Packs
Kids Room Stuff
Kids Room Stuff is one of the cheaper packs for The Sims 4 Adventure Awaits because of the new activities it adds for children. These activities are especially perfect for kids staying at a summer camp. Collecting, trading, and battling Voidcritter cards is a fantastic way for child Sims to create lasting friendships at camp. The puppet theater is another fun activity for child Sims to do together because two Sims can put on a show together for other Sims to watch. Any pack that adds new activities for children is a good pack in my eyes.
Fitness Stuff
While the previously mentioned stuff pack adds new activities for children on summer camp retreats, this of the companion packs for The Sims 4 Adventure Awaits adds new activities for adults on a wellness retreat. The climbing wall is a fun way for Sims to increase their fitness skill alongside the new workout equipment in the upcoming expansion. The included headphones are an excellent addition for any Sim looking to jam out to their own music while exercising without interrupting other sims.
Kits
Poolside Splash
Swimming pools are an often overlooked and forgotten aspect of the game. There are few companion packs for The Sims 4 Adventure Awaits based on the new pool activities. Poolside Splash is one of the few. Your Sims need to look their best as they zip down the new pool slides or show off some crazy flips from the new diving boards. Poolside Splash adds new swimwear to ensure your Sims have the freshest fits at the pool.
Little Campers
You can probably tell how this is one of the better companion packs for The Sims 4 Adventure Awaits just based on the name. It includes incredibly cute objects that will work wonderfully for your child Sims at summer camp. An outdoor projector screen made with a blanket, a play tent made of bedding, s’mores decorative objects for campfires, and more. These objects will all feel their best at summer camp in Gibbi Point.
