EA has added new details about Adventure Awaits directly inside the EA App, expanding on features we already knew while sprinkling in some fresh information. Here’s a breakdown of what’s new and what’s been confirmed.

Getaways and planner

The getaway planner lets Sims design multi-day trips away from home. Players decide the location, length, start time, and what activities will take place. These are built for meeting new Sims and lasting multiple days.

Three pre-made getaways are included:

  • Camp Gibby Gibby – a sleepaway camp for kids
  • Revive and Thrive – a fitness retreat
  • Love Highland – a romantic competition

Custom venues can be built in build mode, with players free to decorate, set activities, and assign roles such as counselor or instructor. Venues can also be shared on the Gallery.

Rules add variety with three main types:

  • Elimination rules – Sims are removed based on skill or relationship progress.
  • Shuffle rules – randomize activities from a preset list.
  • Modifier rules – add twists, like boosting romance with love is in the air or tanking friendships with everyone hates each other.

Childhood formative moments

Child Sims gain more depth with formative moments, which affect skills and traits into adulthood. Four types were confirmed: inquisitiveness, social, independence, and adventure.

Childhood sentiments are also expanded, allowing kids to carry feelings forward as they grow. A new aspiration, Cool Kid on the Block, ties into these changes, along with simple games like hide and seek or rock-paper-scissors.

Imaginary friends

Four doll types exist: Little Monster, Pretty Pegacorn, Crafty Kid, and Wild Child. Each has a linked personality (goofball, evil, creative, competitive). Children can name their dolls, share secrets, or say goodbye forever.

New skills

Several new skills are coming for both kids and adults:

  • Papercraft – make toys, cards, and decorations.
  • Entomology – collect and raise butterflies from caterpillars in terrariums.
  • Diving – Sims can learn new tricks off diving boards.
  • Archery – includes bow fishing and even shooting apples off other Sims’ heads (though no new death type was confirmed).

Water activities

Sims can paddle kayaks anywhere with water, stand to fish, or just build fitness while exploring. Adult activities include spin bikes, free weights, and a new blender for smoothies, protein shakes, and cocktails.

Gibby point landmarks

Each of the three neighborhoods has unique attractions:

  • Wanderwood Wilds – a lava-spewing geyser and an old firewatch tower
  • Crystal Valley – an electric lagoon filled with neon jellyfish
  • Jellyfish Junction – a glowing bay and a lonely lighthouse to explore

Park worker career

This 10-level career branches into park ranger or camp counselor. Sims can leave for work and not return for up to three in-game days, emphasizing the scale of the park. Teens can join, but they’re capped at level 5 until aging up. It’s expected to be a rabbit-hole style career, though hopefully with pop-ups that influence outcomes.

Critter hunter aspiration

Tied to entomology, Sims complete critter-related goals, collect butterflies, and raise caterpillars. The aspiration links with fishing and papercraft, rewarding Sims with the Critter Enthusiast trait.

Final thoughts

Most of this EA App update reinforces what we saw in the gameplay trailer and earlier blog posts, with just enough extra flavor to expand the picture. The next real wave of new info will likely come with the official deep dive live stream.
