The Adventure Awaits Expansion Pack launches October 2, and we’ve got some new information about it from the official Sims Discord!
What’s New?
The official Sims Discord revealed more information about how getaways work, what custom venues are, and more. Unfortunately, there are no new deaths in Adventure Awaits, even though you can catch Jellyfish and take part in Archery, which is a missed opportunity.
How Do Getaways Work?
Gateaways are customizable experiences for Sims seeking a new thrill, complete relaxation and everything in between! To create a Getaway, select a location or create a Custom Venue for the occasion. Getaways can be scheduled for any length of time, but can also be recurring with a set schedule. Select the number of Sims attending (maximum 8 Sims), then assign roles for each of the Sims. You can also add Role Criteria for the roles assigned to Sims, select Role Activities and set a Role Outfit for each of the Sims. Getaways can also be assigned Challenges and Rules for even more possibilities.
What Are Custom Venues?
A Custom Venue is a new Venue type that goes beyond standard Venues (i.e. Bars, Museums) and allows players to set rules and assign roles to Sims for venues.
Are There Any New Fitness Animations?
Yes! The Adventure Awaits Expansion Pack introduces Free Weights, allowing Sims to do arm curls, teach a Pump It Up class or hire a Pump It Up instructor to to guide Sims through exhilarating workouts. They can also use the new Spin Bike to work up a sweat, then make a refreshing recovery beverage with the new Blender object.
Are There Any New WooHoos?
Adenture Awaits introduces Water WooHoo, allowing Sims to WooHoo in any body of water, even in the Jellyfish lagoon!
Are There New Deaths?
There are no new deaths in Adventure Awaits.
Can All Sims Take Part in Archery?
Yes! Sims from Children to Elders can take part in archery. Just place the target down and play through. Your Sim can customize their bows as they increase their skills. A very skilled Sim can even fish using their bow and arrows!
Can Child Sims Go Kayaking?
Yes! Child Sims can also fish from Kayaks just like Adult Sims. Kayaks are a solo Sim activity, just one per boat, but you can have multiple out on the water.
Can You Catch Jellyfish?
Yes, Sims can catch Jellyfish in the lagoon at Jellyfish Junction, but not in any other worlds.
Where Can You Find Butterflies? How Many Butterfly Types Are There?
Butterflies and Moths can be found around Gibbi Point-Butterflies during the day and Moths at night! There are 14 unique species to collect, including a special butterfly unlocked by finishing the collection and placing it in the habitat. You can also raise Butterflies and Moths from caterpillars using the Flutterarium Incubator (found in Build/Buy). As your Sim levels up their Entomology skill, they’ll unlock more options for raising these critters!
