Released on 2 October 2025, The Sims 4: Adventure Awaits introduces a new world, structured Getaway gameplay, and expanded child focused systems. The pack centres on exploration, group activities, and long term storytelling through shared experiences rather than isolated Sims progression.
Adventure Awaits is designed for players who enjoy planning events, managing group dynamics, and building destination lots with specific goals and rules.
World Overview: Gibbi Point
Gibbi Point is a coastal forest world built around organised Getaways and themed destinations. Each neighbourhood is anchored by a signature venue designed for a specific type of trip or challenge.
| Neighbourhood | Description |
|---|---|
| Wanderwood Wilds | Forest trails, geysers, hidden towers, and Camp Gibbi Gibbi, a children’s adventure camp. |
| Crystal Valley | Old mining town aesthetics, crystal formations, lagoon swimming, and the Love Highland romantic retreat. |
| Jellyfish Junction | Boardwalk attractions, bioluminescent waters, kayaking routes, and the Revive & Thrive fitness retreat. |
Festivals, Events, or Special Occasions

| Fitness Fest | Jellyfish Junction |
| Glow and Flow Festival | Jellyfish Junction |
Core Gameplay Systems
Getaway System
The Getaway System allows players to schedule multi day group trips with structured goals and optional rules. Unlike standard vacations, Getaways have success and failure conditions that affect moodlets, relationships, and Sentiments.
Players can:
- Choose trip duration
- Assign activities
- Select rulesets
- Track progress over multiple days
Three premade Getaways ship with Gibbi Point, and players can create Custom Venues and share them via the Gallery.
Custom Venue Rules
Custom Venues allow players to shape how Sims behave during Getaways and events.
| Rule Type | Effect |
|---|---|
| Elimination | Sims are removed from activities or sent home when failing goals. |
| Shuffle | Pairings and activities rotate automatically. |
| Modifiers | Apply buffs, penalties, or restrictions to increase difficulty or chaos. |
These rules make Adventure Awaits especially suited for challenge runs and competitive storytelling.
