Sims 4 Nature’s Calling: Week 1

The Sims is by far my favorite game. It’s the only one that I’ve played with any regularity over quite a span of years. I’ve nearly collected all of the expansion packs, game packs and stuff packs (who can keep up with all of the kits unless you’re a Sims YouTuber or Twitch streamer?) and love finding out new ways to play the game.

To celebrate the upcoming Enchanted by Nature expansion pack (dropping July 10!), EA just launched a new in-game event called Nature’s Calling, and I jumped in as soon as it dropped today.

🌿 Week 1, Quest 1: Whispers on the Wind

The first quest, Whispers on the Wind, had two required and one optional tasks. The optional tasks in this event require specific content to have been purchased for your version of Sims 4.

⚠️ Don’t skip the optional task! Once you complete the required objectives, the optional one disappears. Do it first if you want the bonus reward.

📌 Tasks:

✅ [Optional] Place a Romantic Blanket from the Lovestruck Pack on your home lot
✅ Spend time outdoors
✅ Visit any park

I bought the blanket first, and put it on the lot, then had my Sim, Linden Zamia (a plant name, of course), make herself a nice garden salad picnic and enjoy it outside (fulfilling another task).

After her picnic lunch, I had Linden go to the Isle of Volpe Park in her home neighborhood of Henford-on-Bagley. This completed the Whispers on the Wind quest and I received the Reclaimed Woodworking Table, 5,000 Simoleons, and the Odonata Glasses.

🌿 Week 1, Quest 2: Attuned to the Echoes

The Quests tab on the Rewards pop-up showed the next quest available this week: Attuned to the Echoes.

📌 Tasks:

🎣 Fish from a pond (It took me a minute to find the fishing sign by the river, and apparently a river works – doesn’t have to literally be a pond)
🌥️ Cloudgaze or stargaze
🪑 Sit on a park bench and “listen to the wind” (The picnic table by the river worked to fulfill this one)
🗣️ Ask a Sim if they “hear the whisperings” (Luckily, a nearby Sim was grilling)
🛠️ Place the Reclaimed Woodworking Table on your home lot
🪵 Craft two sculptures on the woodworking table (Linden’s handiness skill is … a work in progress)

Fishing alongside the river — Fishing in the river

When listening to the wind at the picnic table, I received this notification:

Linden using her new woodworking table — Linden hard at work making sculptures. It’s all about the skill gainz!

Once all of the Attuned to the Echoes tasks have been completed, I received the following rewards:

Handiness Vol 1
Reclaimed Wood Wall
Instant Hygiene
Touch Grass Weekly, Issue #1

⏳ What’s Next?

Once the weekly quests are done, the event window shows a countdown until the next quest set unlocks. Good news: if you’re joining late, you can still access previous weeks’ quests, and there’s a two-week grace period after the final week to catch up.
