Herbalism

Herbalism

A Sim brewing a herbal remedy

Herbalism is a skill in The Sims 4: Outdoor Retreat. It focuses on a Sim's ability to identify Herbs and brew various herbal remedies.

Learning

Sims can build Herbalism skill in several ways. One way is to practise identifying the various herbs that grow in Granite Falls' forest. The chance to successfully identify the plant is increased by the Herbalism skill. Another way is through brewing the herbal recipes, and as always there is a Herbalism skill book that Sims can read. Talking about Herbalism with the Hermit of Granite Falls may also give a slight skill increase.

Recipes

New recipes are the only unlockable features that come with the Herbalism skill. Naturally, the main ingredients of these recipes are Herbs, however some also require produce from Gardening and/or Insects. Both Herbs and Insects can be found around the Granite Falls forest area. It should be noted that Morel Mushrooms can only be found in the Hidden Area with the Hermit and some Insects, e.g. Will-o-the-Wisp and Dust Spirits, can only be found at night.
