The Sims Vacation Expansion Pack
Note: This is an expansion pack for The Sims - You must have The Sims to use this program The Sims: Vacation is a great new expansion that takes you on a fun vacation Sims style!
Being a Sim must be pretty nice. Through the magic of expansion packs, the little virtual people have been given party favors (House Party), magic genies (Livin' Large), and hot dates (um... Hot Date). With all these creature comforts, what more could a Sim want? Well, how about a family vacation to a luxury fantasy resort? Vacation Island is an idyllic place that has sun, fun, and beaches on one side of the island, snow and skiing on the other, and, in the middle, a forest perfect for camping. A trip to Vacation Island is the perfect reward for your hard-working Sims, and a fun diversion for you--like all Sims expansions, Vacation is full of quirky Sims-style humor, and not everything on Vacation Island is good for your Sims. A trip to Vacation Island isn't cheap; you have to pay for travel and accommodations for the entire family, as well as entertainment. And just like a real vacation, you can run out of money fast. Thankfully, while on vacation your Sims' needs are slowed down significantly. They're having fun, and you don't have to micromanage them nearly as much as you do at home. This allows you to sit back more and just observe your Sims playing with the often-funny new stuff. Stuff like a boardwalk Whack-a-Will (named for Sims creator Will Wright) game, a guy dressed as a shark who tries to terrorize the tourists, and new activities such as camping, building snowmen, playing volleyball, snuggling on a bear skin rug (or picnic blanket), and hitting the ski courses and snowboard half-pipe. When it's time to go home, your Sims can take a few reminders of the trip, both beneficial (souvenirs that increase happiness) and detrimental (a common tropical illness). Hint: Fans who remember the Brady Bunch Hawaiian vacation episode would do well to learn from Greg Brady's mistake. --Bob Andrews Pros: - Over 77 new items and things to do
- Truly expands the game
Cons:- It's probably time for a full-blown sequel
Take your Sims where they've never been before: on a family vacation. Whether they've been working hard or livin' large, going downtown or partying down, your Sims deserve a break. From a sun-drenched beach to a snow-filled wonderland to a forest campground, Vacation Island offers awide range of fun new activities for your Sims. Take a spin on a carousel or a wild ride on a snow slide, build a snowman or a sandcastle, bring home all sorts of cool new souvenirs, and much more. All-new interactions between parents and children ensure an equal chance for merriment or mayhem, which means that your Sims vacation is sure to be a memorable one... one way or another. Pack up the whole family for the vacation of a lifetime, Sims style.

The Sims Vacation Expansion Pack Reviews
But I certain have been trying. You aren't tied down to any area either, if you're in the snowy mountains, you can call for transport to the beach front hotel if you like. I used purchased it through a user on Amazon and got a really great deal on it and have found it's quite a fun game. You have another challenge, the group/family who participates the most among the 'campers' in the various camps, win some kind of award. Like punting a chicken through the air. What really surprised me, is you can buy postcards, and then mail them off to anyone you've met back in old town or Sim town while you're on vacation. Regardless, I still can't believe I put off getting this expansion pack for so long, but I'm sure glad I have it now.
Not only that but you have games at almost every place you goto. You can go snowboarding, fishing, sleep in an igloo, tent, or a hotel.see the beach.it's pretty limitless. I still laugh when I hear that chicken sqwuak. By collecting tickets, you can win souveniers which you can bring home and place on curio cabinets (just like the pet trophies in Sims Pets). Or the fishing grounds and camp out.
Nevertheless, I have found the games to be a lot of fun and there's a lot of humor behind the games. I absolutely loved that feature. I'm not sure what that is since I've not won yet - heh. I would suspect this would be easier if you have a coulple of kids running around as well as two parents. The Sims Vacation Expansion Pack was another package I put off getting and I am sorry I did so.
My best friend,(.). has this game and I played it too.This game is great because you can do so many things like have a snowball fight,go camping,ect.
I have spent many fun-filled hours playing this games. Any fan of the Sims games will love this expansion pack. All of the Sims games are extremely fun, and the Vacation Expansion Pack is no exception.
:D Call a travel agent and get off your house for a camp, skiing in a ski resort, shopping in malls, or go to the beach. Every place has accomodation so you can stay overnight there. The time stops while you're on vacation. Give your character a little rest on vacation and have yourself enjoy the new features in Vacation Expansion Pack.
Bored with your daily activities around the house. Different places have different activities for you to enjoy your vacation. Don't worry about being absent from your work. You can do BBQ on a camp site, shopping in malls, 'treasure hunt' on the beach, or make a snowman and play 'ski' on the ski resort.
I enjoy all the sims games. I have collected all of the original sims games now I'm on my way to collecting the sims 2 games.
