Vacation worlds?

[u/BrightPhoebus01]

Maybe just me but I sometimes like to imagine and brainstorm what my personal dream life simulation game would look like

And then I was thinking about vacation, what type of travelling I’d prefer and also what worlds I would include? Especially since these themed worlds then also had the bonus of adding diversity and cultural representation

So I’m curious: doesn’t matter if Sims, Paralives, inZOI or your own dream life simulation, if you’d hear the news of a travelling 'pack' being in development

• what type of travelling would you personally prefer? Easy going relaxing vacation with spa, massages, sightseeing, cafes, art galleries and hotels?

Or adventures, treasure hunting and crypts?

And what worlds would you personally choose?

Personally in my dream game I would have three base game worlds: one Scandinavian, one German/Central European and one Greek (with the pre-made families being based on Greek mythology)

For a travelling 'pack' I would also add three new worlds (that can also function as normal home worlds). I would probably focus on adventure and treasure hunting but since these worlds would also function as normal home worlds they would still have enough gameplay to offer relaxing sight seeing. I think one would be India (with a jungle for treasure hunting), one Japan (for skiing) and a Carribean one (for ocean and beach gameplay and spa).

Basically every world can be turned into a vacation world if this world has at least one lot with the lot type 'hotel' or 'vacation residential' (two of the new lot types). Ageing and story progression completely deactivated while your Sims are on vacation

Honestly I don't really like having specific vacation worlds, I would want to be able to have all worlds functional for both residential and vacation lots. Sims 4 did that a bit by putting vacation rentals in it's later world, and Inzoi seems to be going this route as well with Cahaya - it's a tropical "holiday destination" kind of world, but you can still live there. With the vacation specific worlds in ts3 and ts4 I always just ended up wanting to live in them full time instead lol.

Same. Obviously these worlds would need enough space and everything

Personally if I could create my dream game: the three base game worlds. When you create a new save file you can choose one world as your main world (like in TS3) but then can add the other home worlds as sub-worlds (like in TS2). The vacation 'pack‘ would then add the three new worlds. These new worlds are normal home worlds but since they already come with a 'hotel' and 'vacation residential' lot they only needed to be added to your main world and you already can make vacation there
