Customizable vacations coming to Sims 4? 'Adventure Awaits' leak says yes ⇒ Sims4Life

A fresh leak has surfaced in the Sims 4 community, pointing to a major new expansion pack titled Adventure Awaits, expected to launch in October 2025. If the leak is real, it marks one of the most ambitious expansions the game has ever seen, centered around fully customizable vacations, hotel creation, and family travel.

The leak also includes a packed road map running from September to December, with new kits, updates, and live events. But despite the excitement around the potential new features, many fans are asking the same question — is now the right time for such a big expansion, given the ongoing technical issues in the game?

The Sims 4 road map leak for September to December

According to the leaked timeline, Adventure Awaits will be officially revealed on September 4, with a gameplay trailer dropping on September 10, and the expansion launching October 2. Alongside the expansion, three base game updates are scheduled:

September 23 – Update tied to a limited-time event
November 4 – Update following the event’s end
December 2 – Likely the final update of the year

In addition, a total of five new kits are said to be coming:

August 9 – Autumn Apparel Kit (already released if the leak is correct)
November 6 – New Creator Kit
Early December – Four more kits in rapid succession

All in all, if the leak holds up, Sims 4 players are looking at a seriously full calendar over the next four months.

Customizable vacations could finally arrive in Sims 4

The most exciting part of the leak is Adventure Awaits, a vacation-themed expansion that promises to shake up the traditional travel format in Sims 4. Instead of being locked into specific pre-built destinations like Outdoor Retreat or Jungle Adventure, this pack will supposedly let players design their own vacation experiences.

You’d be able to:

Choose where your Sims stay
Build your own resorts or hotels
Customize the entire vacation setting

Unlike past packs which leaned toward adult adventures, this one is focused more on family-friendly vacation gameplay. Players have long asked for hotel and resort creation tools, and this pack might finally deliver.

This rumored expansion is also described as the most expensive Sims 4 expansion to date that doesn’t introduce a new life stage or pets. EA reportedly expects 7 to 10 million sales in the first year, showing just how high the internal expectations are for this one.

Community reactions are divided

The Sims Community is having mixed reactions. Many fans seem excited about the creative potential of custom vacations and hotel builds. Others are feeling overwhelmed by the speed of content releases, especially given the still-buggy state of enchanted by nature, the most recent expansion.

One known Sims leaker, Sematically, who has hinted at accurate details in the past, tweeted:

“So, Adventure Awaits?”

When asked whether it was hotel-related, they responded:

“Well, sort of kind of.”

They also added that it will be “better than Enchanted by Nature,” which some players felt was underwhelming.

Still, the leak is missing some fan-favorite content types. Many players are wondering where are the stuff packs and game packs? Especially after successful ones like Werewolves and the strong reception to the last stuff pack.

The lack of game packs and stuff packs is becoming a trend, and some simmers feel EA may be prioritizing expansion packs and kits for profitability rather than diversity in gameplay content.

A missed opportunity for a music-themed pack?

Some fans are disappointed the next expansion isn’t based on a music or band theme. The idea of an expansion centered around the music industry, featuring touring, signing autographs, record labels, and live performances, has gained strong community support.

A Get Famous style music expansion could bring in long-requested features like:

Bands
Concert venues
Album production
Singing groups and instruments

Unfortunately, for now, that dream pack seems to be on hold, as EA focuses on vacations, family gameplay, and possibly hotels.

Are hotel builds really coming?

There’s still uncertainty around whether Adventure Awaits will fully support hotel building and resort management. If it does, it could be one of the most customizable and engaging features the Sims 4 has added in years.

It would likely use the existing lot and venue systems, meaning you could set up a hotel in any world — not just new ones. This opens up massive potential for players who enjoy building and storytelling.

Simmer skepticism is still strong

Despite all the excitement, many fans remain skeptical about the timing of the expansion. With major bugs still affecting core gameplay and past expansions, some feel that the focus should be on stability, not more content.

There’s also criticism that EA is releasing too many kits, seen by many as microtransactions rather than meaningful content.

But regardless of how fans feel, the Adventure Awaits expansion seems locked in for October, if this leak proves to be accurate.

What to expect if the leak is real

If the leak is legit, here’s what we can expect between now and the end of 2025:

One major expansion: Adventure Awaits, focused on custom vacations and possibly hotel builds
Three base game updates: One tied to an event, two standard patches
Five kits: Ranging from fashion to build/buy focused content
No game packs or stuff packs, at least for now

This may mark the busiest quarter of Sims 4 content in years. Whether that turns out to be a good thing depends entirely on how stable and polished the content is at launch.
