Topic: The Sims Vacation


In the News (Thu 24 Dec 09)

  
  The Sims: Vacation
Vacation marks the fourth expansion pack to The Sims, which by now, is over two years old; almost an eternity in terms of PC games.
Each vacation trip starts off with a quick phone call to (what is never described but is assumed) the travel agent who arranges you to be picked up, just like a Hot Date's taxi cab, to the island resort.
Otherwise, you'll be vacationing with the whole family and if you have a large one, that can be quite a chore sometimes, although with so many things to do, you'll never really run out of ideas.

 SimGolf
Sims: Vacation, from Maxis, is the latest expansion pack for The Sims, the phenomenally popular game in which you rule over virtual human beings as an almighty god, granting their wishes or blighting their lives.
And that is when you decide that it's not enough for your Sims to hang out in their houses reading the newspaper, and you run to the store and buy expansion packs that will give your Sims a richer, more fulfilling virtual life.
Vacation is the fourth Sims expansion pack, on the heels of Hot Date, which created a downtown section where you could try to pick up members of the opposite sex, or the same sex, for that matter, as Sims don't come with definite sexual identities.

 The Sims: Vacation for PC Review - PC The Sims: Vacation Review
Vacation breathes enough life back into The Sims to make it interesting again, though it's really at its best when used with other expansion packs.
Vacation lets your sims call a travel agent on the phone and go on one of three vacations: a camping trip, a winter resort trip, or a beach trip.
Vacation packs lots of new items that can be used for both your resorts and your sims' homes, which should help give fans of building custom areas lots of new options, especially when used with the Hot Date or House Party expansion.

 Sims: Vacation review for the PC
In this location the Sims might be happier staying in a nice cozy cabin or a lodge to keep warm.
Sim's enjoy camping and the adults enjoy a little hanky panky when nobody is looking.
The Sims: Vacation is one of the better expansion packs that are offered, though it is costly for the Sims to travel there.

 UGO.com Games - The Sims: Vacation expansion pack for the PC   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
The Sims: Vacation allows you to transport the whole family to basically two types of locales - the beach, and the alpine snow resorts.
In fact, Vacation is expressly for established families, since even starting a vacation costs $500, in contrast to the $50 cab fare to go downtown in Hot Date.
Single Sims can go on vacation, too, but the romantic options of Hot Date are missing, so it is not a wise investment, though the vacation does allow the Sim to escape his work obligations to socialize.

In Vactation each neighborhood is bequeathed its own "Vacation Island." To get there you pick up the phone, choose the call cab option, and a courtesy shuttle will arrive to take the family to the departing boat.
This is much harder than it sounds when your Sims are paying forty dollars a head to sleep, and twenty-five a piece to eat at the buffet table.

The fourth expansion pack for The Sims is The Sims: Vacation Island.
When you are playing the Sims, you can call on your phone to get picked up and have a vacation at one of the Vacation Island lots.
The main problem with Vacation Island, is that its pretty much the same as Hot Date and therefore does not hold as much appeal for those fans who already have Hot Date.

 IMG Review: The Sims: Vacation
Sims simply need to pick up the telephone, call for the resort shuttle and they’re on their way to various forms of paradise.

 Applelinks.com: Review - The Sims: Vacation
Hot Date was the first Sims expansion pack that allowed you to leave the neighborhood and explore the city.
Vacation allows you to leave the city and explore a "Vacation Island." To get there, you just pick up the phone and call a courtesy shuttle (no need to worry...your house and job will both be there upon your return).
I was willing to forgive this we tested The Sims: Hot Date on the 333MHz iMac, but we ran Vacation on the 500MHz iBook and still had frame rate problems while on Vacation Island (the game ran fine when the sims were at home and there wasn't as much going on).

 Sims The Sims: Vacation - ESCMag Review
When you play The Sims and need four (soon to be five) expansion packs to keep things fresh, you could still get by, but charging gamers for each one rather than offering them as a free download — that is just ludicrous.
What is offered are nine new vacation destinations that allow for your whole Sim-family (you can’t just take part) to engage on a fascinating vacation destination that you can pick.
When your Sims get to their destination they have to choose from a variety of different activities to keep things fresh and new.

The Sims, on the other hand, is about as open-ended and liberating a game as I've seen since (and I'll date myself here) Stuart Smith's Adventure Construction Set.
Myself, I think The Sims is far and away the single most creative game released in many, many years, and it's good to know that so many of you out there agree.
Since The Sims was such a solid, standalone game, you get the feeling its designers were initially stymied when trying to come up with something to put into an expansion pack.
