What to Anticipate from The Sims 4’s Nature’s Calling Event

Alright, so EA just gave us something new for The Sims 4—yeah, you know, that game we all kinda love and loathe at the same time? Anyway, there’s this summer roadmap thing they threw out, which is like a preview before the real deal they usually drop every quarter. They’re calling it "Sim Your Summer," which, honestly, sounds like a slogan for a holiday package. It includes a Livestream, a board game thing, and some updates, but it’s mostly the usual stuff we expect.

But here’s a twist (sort of)—a secretive event called "Nature’s Calling" got mentioned elsewhere. Weird, right? These events don’t last forever, more like four to six weeks. You gotta log in and do quests to snag some special rewards, which are both awesome and fleeting. It’s a whole thing—points you earn only matter during the event, so you better dive in quick if you’re looking to scratch that Sims itch.

Okay, picture this for a sec: June 24, The Sims drops this Nature’s Calling event, like, boom, here’s your summer escape. It technically runs four weeks, but we get an extra two weeks for latecomers. Good news for the procrastinators out there (hi, it’s me). Each week, you gotta complete Quests to rake in all these snazzy rewards. Just log in with your EA account and—shazaam—you get a Reclaimed Woodworking Table. Love how it’s linked to your account, so no excuses for losing stuff. What do you score each week? Let’s run through it.

Week 1: That woodworking table, Odonata Glasses (think dragonfly wings, and why does that sound cool?), a wood wall, and this thing called Touch Grass Weekly, Issue #1. Yes, a literal call to touch grass, not bad EA.

Week 2: So, you get a recipe for a wood chair (DIY time), some swimwear dubbed Flowing Fronds (just roll with it), a Foraged Feast recipe, and another Touch Grass Weekly.

Week 3: Nature Soundscapes on the radio, another woodworking recipe for a dining table, a tattoo called Rings of Growth (I need to see this), and more reading material.

Week 4: Finally, you’ll snag what they call The Wooden Throne (I sense Game of Thrones vibes), fancy rocks, sandals for trails, and yeah, one last Touch Grass Weekly.

“What’s the theme?” you might ask if you’re still with me. Well, it’s all about nature—which is embarrassing for my couch potato self. Woodworking, outdoor adventuring, and some mystery waiting to be unraveled. Sounds like they’re hinting at something magical and woodsy—maybe a fairy or two? Those leaks sure made a noise about fairies and whatnot for the next expansion pack.

And get this, you hear some kind of whispering voice when you step outside, all cryptic and stuff. The kind of mystery that makes you go, “Yeah, I’ll bite.” Are we talking fairies hiding under ferns? Could be. Those Odonata Glasses and Flowing Fronds Swimwear? They look oddly fairy-like, but maybe that’s just me fantasizing.

So, if you’ve been watching any June leaks (I know you’ve peeked), this whole event feels suspiciously similar. Let’s see if the rumored fairies pop up, shall we? Meanwhile, relax, grab some digital grass, and get busy clicking away for these goodies. Happy Simming, as they say, or don’t—no pressure.
