The Sims 4: Jungle Adventure

The Sims 4 Jungle Adventure was developed by Maxis and published by Electronic Arts, released in 2018. It is a game pack that introduces an adventure-focused destination and exploration gameplay, sending Sims to the tropical nation of Selvadorada where players can experience culture, cuisine and a jungle expedition loop distinct from base-game neighbourhood play.

The DLC adds the new travel destination of Selvadorada with local cantinas, vendors and authentic décor, survival gear and themed clothing; an exploration system that lets Sims trek into the jungle, overcome obstacles and hazards, discover hidden pools and campsites, and unearth ancient relics; and a hidden temple with randomized rooms containing treasure, traps and puzzles that can reward Sims with artifacts and unique finds. It also includes an archaeology table to examine and appraise artifacts, new dances and social interactions inspired by local customs, and activities that encourage both risk and reward during expeditions.

Promotion for Jungle Adventure used Electronic Arts’ and Maxis’ established channels, including trailers, store listings and social media reveals that showcased the jungle exploration, temple encounters and cultural activities; developer blog posts, preview videos and creator showcases were used to demonstrate the pack’s expedition mechanics and temple variety, while community streamers and build-and-play videos highlighted creative uses of Selvadorada for storytelling and adventure challenges.

Reception was mixed to positive, with praise directed at the pack’s fresh change of pace, atmospheric worldbuilding and the emergent thrills of temple exploration, while criticisms centred on occasional technical issues, repetitive expedition encounters and limited long-term depth for some players. Overall Jungle Adventure is regarded as a strong thematic addition for players who enjoy exploration, archaeology and culturally themed travel stories rather than those seeking broad systemic overhauls.
