I think I'm going to take this WIP I never finished and try to adapt it for Gibi Point... It's got a lot of CC, but I think I don't need most of it anymore. We'll see how it goes. #sims4adventureawaits

What everyone wanted: another timed event for the Sims 4! From Sept. 23 - Nov. 4, this one looks like it will be centered around kids.
I've softened on these, but I wish they would add the items into base game after a time, because it's hard to share builds with event items. #thesimsnews #sims4

Special shout out to this utensil holder I will be abusing in future builds. 19/24

It is a little confusing because it seems like it's kind of the getaway system tied to a lot, but then you can also host getaways here? But anyway, definitely is going to be great to design some niche lots, I think. 18/24

Gibbi Point itself looks great, but it really falls into like a weird in-between - is it tropical - is it Pacific NW? Most of it seems gorgeous, but I kind of wish we had something more inspired by a non-NA destination. 16/24

Not sure how I feel about formative moments because it both seems like it's hard to distinguish from bucket lists and milestones. (Do kids have bucket list items, though? I can't remember.) 15/24

Archery is so quintessential US summer camp and I love it for that, but it's also something I know my sims will never be doing outside of this context. (Though, in my experience that it also how it works in real life, lol.) 14/24

Child skills elimination is just so brutal. 🤣 Also, we better be able to do papercrafts at the child activity tables we get in every freaking pack. 13/24

Again, it's so hard to know if this will actually be cool in gameplay, but the possibilities here for updating things like @benjiplays.bsky.social Festa Juninha lot seem so interesting. 12/24

Even just from the presets for get aways, I think all of these are actually awesome. (Are they awesome in practice? Who knows.) But I am really excited for the kids camps and bed and breakfasts. (Hotels RIP, though.) 11/24

AND THEN THEY HAD ME AT BED AND BREAKFASTS. No, it's not hotels but I have been trying to make it work with Business and Hobbies and if I can actually make one with this new pack I may forgive them for their gratuitous DLC sins. 10/24

It's one of those things that's hard to judge from a trailer. How do some of these rules play out? (Renaissance studio?) But even with just what they've shown us, I feel like there is so much gameplay potential here. (Maybe.) 9/24

We're so deep in this thread but this is where things get really interesting for this pack. The getaways and custom venues! This is where I confess they have probably won me over. 8/24

I am also reluctantly excited about more gym stuff, because I just built a gym and there really isn't that much stuff to put in. (But kind of crazy that we got a cosmetic version of weights not that long ago in Lovestruck.) 7/24

The geyser is really pretty, but I wonder how much it will actually play into gameplay. But I am actually super excited for water slides and diving boards, FINALLY. 6/24

I am excited for the kayaking and bug catching, for sure. And I'm actually obsessed with this miniature replica thing. I just love miniatures. 5/24

I'm kind of neutral on the whole imaginary friends thing. I never played with them in The Sims 3, but I do always find myself wishing there was more stuff for kids to do, so it's definitely a positive in that sense! And I love how different each one is. 4/24

Excited for the retro console and the worn down furniture from Build and Buy is something I always want more of. 3/24

I was actually excited about the modular playgrounds since the reveal trailer. I fully see myself going through and adding these to every park in every world because I always found the current play equipment kind of lame. #sims4adventureawaits 2/24

Remember how I said I hoped they would make a build/but teaser for the Sims 4: Enchanted by Nature? 😍😍😍
It’s definitely a niche pack and not going to appeal to everyone, but I am in love with the build/buy.

We also get an apothecary table and skill, which I am not going to lie still sounds like a weird mashup of herbalism, potions and the illness system from Get to Work.
I think this kind of weird duplicating of systems is the default from now on and I think it's going to get increasingly frustrating

The survival foraging, sleeping outside and bathing in natural water are going to make Rags to Riches a lot easier though 🤣
