How to Befriend the Hermit of Granite Falls in The Sims 4
To be a true outdoor enthusiast you’ll need to befriend the hermit of granite falls in The Sims 4.
This is a secret sim who lives in the deep woods in The Sims 4: Outdoor Retreat!
Where to Find the Hermit
The first step to being able to befriend the hermit is finding them. The hermit lives in the deep woods, a secret world that’s located inside of the Granite Falls Forest.

Once your sim arrives at the Granite Falls Forest you’ll want to find the building in the middle. Then, position your camera so you can see the highest point of the roof and it’s furthest away from you on an angle.

Then, move in that direction toward the rocks at the edge of the lot. You’ll want to move across the rocks until you see a cave that’s slightly covered by vines. Click on that and choose explore.
When you explore this lot you’ll start to get a bunch of action cards that you’ll need to answer. The answers you need to give are step forward, keep walking, sally forth, and travel toward the sim.

Once you give that series of answers you’ll be given the option to travel to the deep woods and this is where you’ll find the hermit’s house.

The hermit will be anywhere on this lot and they have a lot of tasks they do. You may find them fishing, cooking on their grill, or hanging out inside of their house.
Note: The hermit is a different sim in different save files so they don’t always look the same. However, they are the only sim you’ll find in this area and they are always wearing the same outfit.
