In the Lot Type dropdown menu, they should scroll down until they find Rental. Choosing this option will convert the lot into a rental property, denoted by a star icon over the building on the map. When players return to their Active Household, they can open a Sim's phone and choose Take a Vacation , located in the Travel menu. Players can select the world they want to visit from the menu, then select the rental property and the number of days they want to stay on vacation.
If the lot is missing items the Sim needs, like a Toddler bed , pet supplies, or fresh produce, they can order these from a phone, computer, or the mailbox. She covers everything from massive, open-world RPGs to small-scale indie horror projects. She's the kind of person who loves instructions and manuals but who is stubborn and competitive enough to wait to consult game guides until she's hit game over at least 15 times.
The game's camera scrolls around the screen as sluggishly as ever, and your sims still have pathfinding problems and get stuck in corners or near other objects.
But fixing the original game has apparently never been the point of any of The Sims' expansion packs. Livin' Large, House Party, and Hot Date have all simply built upon what was in The Sims and added new features and options to play with. You could say that Vacation actually builds upon previous expansions--its new customizable resort areas are a lot like Hot Date's downtown, and its new family activities are a lot like House Party's party games.
You don't really have to analyze things that closely, because in the end, Vacation does what a good expansion for The Sims is supposed to do--breathe new life into the original game. If you play and enjoy The Sims, you'll play and enjoy Vacation--and you'll just enjoy it more if you happen to have Hot Date and House Party.
The PS2 game makes solid additions and a few improvements to The Sims' basic gameplay--but that gameplay has aged. Can The Sims still be as interesting as it was two years ago?

About the Author. Andrew Park. More GameSpot Reviews. If the vacation is booked in advance, a shuttle will come to the Sims' house at 9 am on the appointed day and take them to the airport.
The length of the vacation can range from 3 days and 2 nights to 7 days and 6 nights. While this does not affect the cost of the airfare, this might be taken into consideration if the Sims plan to stay in a hotel. Sims may also choose from their list of friends to join them on the trip, so the trip isn't limited to only household members. Each Sim added to the vacation group adds to the total airfare. The Sims can choose which destination they wish to go to as well as what hotel or vacation home if they already own one they would like to stay at upon arrival.
It is also possible to choose once the Sims have flown to their destination rather than choosing immediately when booking by selecting "Choose Upon Arrival". A Hotel is a hybrid of a community lot and residential lot. It gives controllable Sims a place to rest and rejuvenate before going off to explore. Hotel costs are separate from the original booking cost. Instead of staying at a hotel, Sims can stay at their own vacation home. Vacation homes can be bought via the phone and the deed is then placed in the buyer's inventory.
Vacation homes cannot be lived in and Sims can only stay at one during a vacation. Once the Sims have arrived, they can start exploring their vacation world. They can talk to the tour guide to take a tour, call a cab , or use the interaction "Walk to Lot" to explore the community lots. To go to a secret location , make sure the Sim with the map is the selected Sim.
The player can end the Sims' vacation early by using the telephone booth. If this is done a shuttle will come to take them to the airport. As in the previous two games mentioned, Sims once again have the choice of partaking in three different forms of vacations. However, in a first for the series, the new vacation destinations are based on real-world locations.
These new locations are the same size as the neighborhoods Sunset Valley and Riverview , and parody the countries of China, France and Egypt respectively. Pets cannot go abroad. This expansion pack is more focused on adventuring, loot-gathering, and questing. A Sim starts out with zero stars in their passports, and must fulfill quests for the locals to gain more. More stars grant a Sim the right to do more things in the town, such as staying for a longer period of time, or buying property.
All Sims otherwise start out in a small hostel. Sims can collect many different expensive artifacts which they can either sell or display in their homes for moodlet bonuses.
Ancient Coins can be collected in tombs and used to buy useful items from the special merchant that resides in the town. There are no "rabbit holes" in vacation towns, but many unique shops that vacationing Sims can enter and move about freely in.
Items are bought through a menu brought up by interacting with a Sim manning the cash register. Tomb exploration is the main focus of vacation towns in World Adventures.
Tombs are special locations Sims can freely walk around in, fraught with dangerous traps and a few with deadly mummies. Artifacts are found strewn about the rooms, and Sims can pick them up and take them for themselves. Many tombs have quests attached to them, which will give Sims keys to proceed further or fulfill a short storyline.
This form of vacationing is different from the others. It is not a booked vacation, and the Sim s involved cannot be controlled or seen. It only happens as an opportunity given to any adult as long as there is at least one teenager in the household and nobody is pregnant within the household. The offer will be for all the adults to go on an all-expenses vacation whilst the teens look after themselves.
The adults stop what they are doing moments later and leave in a taxi. The adults will return after two days if nothing goes wrong, but if the teen throws a party and gets caught by the police , they will return after a few in-game hours after the police have scolded the teen.
If the teen performs a prank and is caught by the butler with Late Night installed , if they skip school, or if they get caught pranking the school and are sent home by the police, the parents will return after the scheduled time and scold the teen as soon as they arrive.
The teens will be grounded if the adults return and find the house messy.
