from: TheSimsTree

12929 | 29.11.2025

The Adventure Awaits expansion pack opens up a world of outdoor activities, summer camps, and imaginary friends for Sims. But as usual, EA left some rough edges and missed opportunities. Fortunately, the community has already created mods and custom content that fix bugs, expand functionality, and add aesthetic appeal. In this collection, you'll find everything to make your adventures truly engaging.

MODS

Imaginary Friends Don't Age by Shino Nox

Are your imaginary friends suddenly aging up without your knowledge? This is an EA bug: the game mistakenly treats them as unplayed households, and during rotational play with auto-aging enabled, they can age up on their own, especially on short lifespans. The mod blocks random aging, leaving control solely with the player through the "Offer to Make Real" interaction.

No Visible Competitive Sweat by sims4me

Tired of sweat drops on your competitive Sims' faces? This mod removes the intrusive visual effect, keeping your characters looking neat even in the heat of competition.

Plan Getaways Anywhere by LunarBritney

Allows you to plan getaways and mini-trips on any lot, not just the standard vacation destinations. Works with custom lot types as well, including those from Basemental's Universal Venue List.

Playground No Autonomous Phone by CiwayW

Makes adult NPCs forget about their phones at playgrounds and actually pay attention to the kids.

Critter Hunter Aspiration Fix by Simularity

A lifesaver for loner Sims! The "Go Fishing with a Buddy" task no longer requires a household member – now fishing with any acquaintance counts. Finally, you can complete the Critter Hunter aspiration even if your Sim lives alone with a dog.

Lower Getaway Winnings by Waffle's Mix-Ins

The mod reduces the monetary reward for getaways from 10,000 to 5,000 Simoleons – making the balance fairer. Previously, you could pay 950 for a four-day trip and walk away with 10k, which seemed overly generous. Now 5k feels like the sweet spot, considering you're also getting a free vacation and time to build skills.

Pump It Up No Chatting by FrequentlyBasic

Prevents Sims from chatting during free weight workouts, which constantly interrupted the animation. Also prevents a Last Exception error from appearing when starting Pump It Up group workouts.

Assign Any Sims to Custom Venues by LunarBritney

Allows you to assign any Sims to roles in custom venues right during a visit, without prior introduction. All categories are available, including horses, dogs, cats, toddlers, and infants, opening up more scenarios. It's best to specify role criteria in advance so animals don't end up in unwanted positions.

No Competitive Headlines by sims4me

Removes the floating colorful icons above the heads of Sims with the Competitive trait that appear during actions affecting their competitive spirit. Less visual clutter – more comfort.

Master Archer Aspiration by FrequentlyBasic

Adds a new fitness aspiration for those who want to become archery masters. You need to reach max skill level, hit 20 bullseyes, and win the archery contest five times. Completion grants the Master Archer trait: focused moodlets last 40% longer, unlocks "Flawless Mode" with improved accuracy and accelerated skill gain, and your Sim's mentees learn archery faster than others.

Formative Moment Goal Fixes by sims4me

Formative moments will no longer get stuck! Fixed bugs with the "Be Active" goal (the key is completing actions all the way through), "Be a Good Student," and "Think of Others" – now kindness to foals counts. And the "Be a Pet Friend" goal finally recognizes mini goats and sheep as legitimate friends.

Less Imaginary Friend Text Spam by sims4me

Imaginary friends stop flooding the notification board with endless spam. Important messages remain, but useless ones – about every appearance, departure, and commentary on your Sim's games, jokes, and creative activities – no longer annoy.

Imaginary Friends Staying Longer by CiwayW

Imaginary friends no longer vanish after a measly two hours – that time was woefully insufficient for play. Three options to choose from: friends stay for 6, 12, or 24 hours, allowing kids to finally have proper interactions.

No Playground Obsession by sims4me

Sims are no longer obsessed with playground equipment on home lots and won't dash to the slides at every opportunity. Now they only use playground equipment at home when their fun need is low, while on other lots everything works as usual.

No Adventure Awaits Festival Notifications by sims4me

Tired of festival notification spam cluttering your entire board? This mod disables them completely – no intrusive alerts about every starting celebration. The modular structure lets you customize everything to your preferences.

No More Random Paper Airplanes After School by ClaudiaSharon

Kids and teens no longer bring home paper airplanes in their inventory from school – these things annoyingly end up in their hands at every opportunity. Now Sims will have to craft them themselves, giving you more control over the situation.

Better Playground Mod by CiwayW

Transforms playgrounds into truly lively locations. Toddlers now arrive not with random Sims, but with their actual parents and grandparents who watch over them. New autonomous actions – from puppet theater to soccer – make children's zones much more interesting.

Run Lectures in Getaways by LunarBritney

The mod adds the ability to run lectures at getaway events and custom lots with flexible topic settings. You can specify which lectures are allowed on a particular lot to make the venue specialized. The lecturer needs the appropriate skill level (usually 5+ for 10-level skills and 3+ for 5-level skills).

Parents join toddlers on playgrounds by LittleMsSam

No more absurdity with random adults at playgrounds! Now toddlers visit with their actual parents, who appear with a "Parent" label. When one parent leaves, they either take the child with them or are replaced by the other parent – just like in real life.

Tiny Fix: Archery Contest 1st Place Grants §2500 by FrequentlyBasic

Fixes the bug with archery contest prizes: now first place awards the proper 2,500 Simoleons instead of a measly 500.

No Paper Airplane Obsession by sims4me

Sims will stop obsessively launching paper airplanes at every opportunity once you put one in their inventory. Now only children or characters with the Childish trait do this autonomously when their fun need is low, and in restaurants or while eating or sitting, airplanes won't fly at all.

Fix for Adventure Awaits skirt by NicAtNite

Fixes a strange issue with the legs on the child skirt from the pack.

Custom Activities Cleanup by Waffle's Mix-Ins

Renames nearly 70 custom activities for getaways to make them easier to find in the list. EA named similar things differently: water activities were scattered as "Do Water Activities," "Dive in the Ocean," "Enjoy Water Slides" – now everything is under the "Water:" category. Useless "Enjoy," "Go," "Use" have been removed – only clear names like "Bowling" or "Archery" remain, and similar actions are grouped by categories: Animals, Occult, Seasonal, Wellness, Instruments.

Custom Venues Fixes by Marquillo

A massive overhaul of custom venues, transforming EA's half-baked system into a working tool.

Tattoo Parlors: Artists now autonomously tattoo for money without getting distracted by chitchat. Spas: Four new activities instead of the useless default one – assign massage therapists, reflexologists, and clients, everything works as it should. There's a ready-made preset.

Fixes: NPC DJs perform, baristas tend counters, visitors buy food on their own, painting works. Bonus – three "Don't Do X" activities against staff chatting, cooking, and cleaning. Sometimes glitchy, but this is the best thing for custom venues.

MISCELLANEOUS CC

Summer Camp Pack by Julia Blossom

The set includes four t-shirts with 5 color variations each (female, male, and two unisex versions for kids), a wooden camp sign, camp emblem for the wall (as a painting) and floor (as a rug). Emblems come in four versions: with and without outline, distressed and clean.

Adventure Awaits Unleashed – Build/Buy Additions by CBXSims

Annoyed by items glued to surfaces and the eternal shortage of slots for decor? A collection of 18 new objects fixes everything: individual shelves, paintings, functional chests and a book box, a compact weight rack. Now you can freely arrange things and clutter surfaces to your heart's content.

Pose Pack: Imaginary Friend by motherlode-dl

12 poses for children with imaginary friends. Includes four interchangeable doll accessories based on in-game models from the pack. Find them in the hats category.

Adventure Awaits - Fully Functional Fan by CBXSims

The decorative fan from the pack didn't work – it just sat there for looks. Now it's fully functional: cools Sims down in hot weather.

Kayak Recolors by PilarLeonYT

The kayak gets 29 stylish recolors in a soft modern palette – from neutral tones to gentle greens, dusty pinks, and reds. Bonus: custom stickers recolored for a cleaner look. Now your Sims' water outings will be not just beautiful, but perfectly integrated into your world's aesthetic.

Adventure Awaits Curtain Rod by Simspancake CC

Why were curtains in the pack from the start but no curtain rod? 11 wood swatches perfectly match the furniture from the pack and work like a regular curtain rod. A small detail, but many builders were asking for exactly this.

Adventure Awaits Hair by ASW

Original hairstyle by EA with 24 standard recolors.

Adventure Awaits – Mini Free Weights by CBXSims

Want a home gym without a bulky weight rack? The mini free weights fit in any corner and on any surface.

NO CC BUILDS

Imaginary Friends Apartment by kellyhartx

A bright and colorful apartment inspired by the imaginary friends from the pack.
