How to investigate the cave in The Sims 4

Special events in The Sims 4 often challenge you to venture to unique locations you may not otherwise visit. In the Nature’s Calling event, one of the places you’re tasked with visiting is a special cave you have to investigate.

You’re not given much information about how to find and interact with this cave, so it’s certainly one of the trickier tasks you’ll come across. If this one has you stumped and is halting your event progress, here’s how to investigate the cave in The Sims 4.

Where is the cave in the Nature’s Calling event in The Sims 4?

The cave you need to investigate can be found near the northernmost end of the Desert Bloom Park lot. There’s a small cave entrance up against the massive rocky wall surrounding this park.

To find the cave, start by visiting Desert Bloom Park. Once you’re there, move the camera north until you can’t go any higher, then look slightly west. The cave entrance is on a small cliff area near a picnic table, grill, bench, and trash can. There’s a path that runs through the entire park, and you can follow it to reach this location.

Where is Desert Bloom Park in The Sims 4?

Desert Bloom Park is the park lot right in the center of Oasis Springs. It’s part of a base game world, so all players have access to it. It’s directly south of the Landgraab family’s mansion and is the largest lot in this world.

Like all lots, this one can be replaced with any other one you build or place from the gallery, so if you’ve modified it, finding the right spot can be tough. Everything you need to do on this lot for the event exists around the outskirts of it, so you can still head here to tackle the quests even if the lot has been replaced with something else.

Investigate the cave in The Sims 4

To investigate the cave for the week three Nature’s Calling event quests, click on the cave entrance and select the “Investigate the cave” option. Like all other event tasks, this one has a special wind and leaves icon to help you distinguish it from other tasks. Your Sim will look around the outside of the cave once you initiate this action, but not venture inside yet.

Although it’s not time to head inside during the week three quests, the text accompanying it seems to hint that we might explore the cave in future parts of the event. If you haven’t ever opened this cave before, it’s locked behind level 10 of the handiness skill, so it’s a good idea to get your Sims skill up to prepare in case it’s needed to access the secret Forgotten Grotto area during the event. We’ve been working on this skill quite a lot already, so there’s a decent chance we will need level 10 to finish the event.

With this task out of the way, you can move on to finishing the rest of the week three Nature’s Calling event quests. Some other tricky The Sims 4 tasks you may need help with are finding Foundry Cove, doing homework, and listening to the wind.
