The Sims 4 shows off its getaway themed Adventure Awaits expansion in first gameplay trailer

Summer might be coming to an end, but The Sims 4 isn’t quite done holidaying yet. Its new getaway themed Adventure Awaits expansion arrives for all platforms on 2nd October, and ahead of its release EA has shared a first gameplay trailer, providing a better idea of what’s in store.

A major new Sims 4 expansion means a new world to explore, and in Adventure Awaits’ case that’s Gibbi Point. Here, players can find three new neighbourhoods: Wanderwood Wilds and its forest trails, Crystal Valley with its sparkling rock formations, and the waterfront Jellyfish Junction.

Each of these features its own getaway location where Sims can retreat from the hustle and bustle of day-to-day life. There’s Wanderwood Wilds’ Camp Gibbi Gibbi, Crystal Valley’s Love Highland, and Jellyfish Junction’s Revive & Thrive. And to aid Sims in their relaxation, Adventure Awaits introduces a new Scheduling Getaway feature enabling players to plan everything from long weekends to summer breaks, even recurring breaks. Additionally, new Custom Venues, in combination with the new Getaway System, mean it’s possible to build getaways from scratch, complete with their own activities and rules.

By way of example, Adventure Awaits includes a Cosy Bed & Breakfast, an Outdoor Kids Camp, a Fitness Retreat, and Cooking Competition – and more are available if you own other expansions. You can create a Corporate Retreat with Get to Work, for instance, an Off the Grid Survival Competition with Island Living, even a Dog Training getaway with Cats and Dogs.
