The Sims 4: Best Getaway & Adventure Packs for Your Sims' Travel

Last Updated: October 21, 2025

Diverse Sims 4 vacation packs including Selvadorada jungle, Mt. Komorebi snowy mountains, Sulani tropical island, and Granite Falls forest.

For years, The Sims 4 community has longed for the thrill of exploration and the joy of a true getaway, sparking countless discussions about a hypothetical "Adventure Awaits" style expansion. While that specific pack never came to be, Maxis has delivered the spirit of that concept across several distinct and feature-rich DLCs. Today, instead of just one destination, players have a passport to a variety of vacation experiences, each offering a unique blend of exploration, relaxation, and gameplay.

Whether you're looking for a dangerous trek through ancient ruins or a serene mountain retreat, The Sims 4 has a destination for you. This guide explores the premier vacation and adventure-themed packs that let your Sims escape the everyday and embark on an unforgettable journey.

The True Jungle Expedition: The Sims 4: Jungle Adventure

For players who crave high-stakes exploration reminiscent of The Sims 3: World Adventures, the Jungle Adventure Game Pack is the definitive choice. This pack introduces the vibrant and sprawling destination world of Selvadorada, a lush landscape filled with danger, mystery, and priceless artifacts.

  • Exploration & Gameplay:

    The core of this pack is navigating a dense, ever-changing jungle to uncover a hidden temple. Sims must brave natural hazards like fireflies, spiders, and plasma bats, all while managing their needs. Inside the temple, they'll solve puzzles, avoid traps, and unearth ancient Omiscan treasures. The new Archaeology skill allows Sims to excavate and authenticate artifacts, turning their adventures into a profitable career.

  • Culture & Relaxation:

    Beyond the thrilling expeditions, Sims can immerse themselves in the local culture at the Puerto Llamante Marketplace. They can learn the rumbasim dance, try new foods, and level up the Selvadoradan Culture skill to unlock secret interactions and locations. It masterfully balances the thrill of discovery with the charm of experiencing a new culture.

The Snowy Mountain Retreat: The Sims 4: Snowy Escape

If your Sims prefer crisp mountain air and a mix of high-energy sports with tranquil relaxation, the Snowy Escape Expansion Pack is the perfect ticket. This pack introduces the stunning Japanese-inspired world of Mt. Komorebi, a year-round residential and vacation destination.

  • Thrills & Activities:

    The main draw is the array of snow sports. Sims can learn to ski, snowboard, and sled on various slopes, from gentle bunny hills to daring expert runs. For the truly adventurous, there are opportunities for rock climbing and exhilarating (and sometimes dangerous) mountain climbing excursions to the peak of Mt. Komorebi.

  • Relaxation & Lifestyle:

    Snowy Escape excels at providing serene gameplay. Sims can unwind in the Onsen bathhouse, enjoy meditative walks through bamboo forests, and gather for a cozy Hot Pot meal. The pack introduces Lifestyles, a system where Sim behaviors and preferences develop into meaningful personality traits, adding a rich layer of depth to your Sims' getaway experiences and daily lives.

The Island Paradise: The Sims 4: Island Living

For those whose idea of a perfect getaway involves sun-drenched beaches and crystal-clear water, the Island Living Expansion Pack offers the tropical world of Sulani. While a fully residential world, its vacation-centric atmosphere makes it an idyllic escape.

  • Ocean Life & Activities:

    Sulani is all about the water. Sims can go swimming, snorkeling, build sandcastles, or ride an aqua-zip across the waves. The world is alive with marine life, including dolphins and the potential for Sims to become mystical Mermaids.

  • Conservation & Culture:

    A unique gameplay mechanic involves the new Conservationist career, where Sims' actions can directly heal the island, transforming polluted areas into thriving coral reefs and lush landscapes. Sims can also engage with the rich island culture by attending Kava parties, learning from local elders, and respecting ancient traditions.

The Rustic Escape: The Sims 4: Outdoor Retreat

As the very first Game Pack for The Sims 4, Outdoor Retreat laid the foundation for all vacation gameplay to come. It introduces the woodsy destination of Granite Falls, a perfect spot for Sims looking for a classic camping and hiking experience.

  • Back to Nature:

    Gameplay is centered on traditional outdoor activities. Sims can set up tents, roast marshmallows over a campfire, tell ghost stories, and identify wild plants. The Herbalism skill allows Sims to create potent remedies and potions from the flora they find.

  • Exploration & Discovery:

    While less intense than Jungle Adventure, Granite Falls has its own secrets. Sims can hike deep into the woods to find a hidden area inhabited by the Hermit of Granite Falls, offering a quiet and rewarding sense of discovery for those who venture off the beaten path.

Your Perfect Getaway Awaits

The dream of an adventure-focused expansion for The Sims 4 has been realized not in one pack, but in a diverse collection of travel experiences. From the treacherous temples of Selvadorada and the snowy peaks of Mt. Komorebi to the tropical shores of Sulani and the quiet forests of Granite Falls, the opportunities for exploration, relaxation, and unique storytelling are vaster than ever. The only question left is: where will your Sims go first?
