Sims can book multiple suites before they check in, and suites that are not booked will be booked by Tourists. A hotel may or may not contain amenities, such as Restaurants and swimming pools, though expensive hotels may offer some. Sims cannot access their Inventory in the Hotels or Campgrounds. The more luxurious the hotel is, the more expensive. Hotels are the second expensive accommodation, but the price depends on the type of lodge Sims are staying. It is, however, fully customizable just like normal residential lots. Vacation Homes can be purchased from real estate, but they are very expensive costing the same as regular houses. Each of the accommodations has its own advantages and disadvantages. There are three types of accommodation where Sims can stay: Vacation Homes, Hotels, or Campgrounds. Sims need to stay somewhere while on vacation. Sims also gain temporary Vacation Benefits after they return from a good vacation, or penalties if the vacation was bad. Also, Lifetime Aspiration will not be accumulated so Sims cannot exploit of the extra days they get from going on vacations. The difference is, they can't learn skills, gain enthusiasm, or build talent badges. This is similar to the time mechanics in Colleges. Time and hours will keep going when Sims leave house and when they're back home.
The time continuity works differently from going to community lots in the Base Neighborhood. While on a vacation, the main attraction is to travel to community lots and spend as much time as possible there, because Sims shouldn't waste their precious time at their lodging. Only Sims older than toddler and non-pets can go on vacation, so babies, toddlers, and pets must stay at home with a remaining household member or a nanny. This means they can't stay forever at the Vacation Destination. Vacation trips, however, have a maximum of 7 days, and if the vacation time is over for several days, Sims will be forced to go home. This mechanism is similar to when Sims travel to community lots. Going on vacation doesn't require any days off from work, because while being on vacation, ages and time continuity stop, so Sims that leave for a vacation at Tuesday noon will return at the same time they left. Sims can go to a vacation trip alone or bringing families and friends along. Traveling to vacation landmarks, relaxing, and experiencing things that normally cannot be found in the everyday life is what vacationing is all about. Some special features can only be found in certain Vacation Destinations, such as ninjas that can be found in Far East, and beaches as the main attraction of a tropical vacation.Īs a way to stay away from everyday routine, Sims can now have a vacation by booking one via phone or computer. These include the environment, locals, tours, and so on. Each destination has special attributes and its own attractions. There are three types of Vacation Destinations, i.e.
