DivinylsFan I know it's easy to get to visa level 3, which is why I haven't done all the adventures. I don't generally grind enough to accomplish it in one trip though, and I space out the trips, so it takes a while for my sims to actually get there.
The grapes (I meant cranerlet nuala and gralladina fran, only available at visal level 3) do grow in the basement of the Landgraab estate, and probably at the abandoned house too, although I haven't checked there in a while. But there are only a few plants each, and my sims want to make nectar while they're waiting for their crops to mature, so collecting a large quantity at once is much more convenient. Not to mention, my sims sleep overnight on the island and get another pass through Tuatha's Garden the next day without having to travel over there again.
My understanding is the island is only accessible by swimming (which takes a very long time) or Zeneport (which means time spent building the Martial Arts skill and meditating), so it's not any better from an efficiency perspective. And this way, they get treasure along with enough grapes to last until one of them can plant and harvest the rare grapes at home.
I think you can also use the Eyes of Horus (World Adventure) or the Teleportation Pad (base game) to teleport there.
Sketch793 True, you can use the teleportation pad, but (without cheating, at least), you can only place it on a lot your sims own, which means a vacation home and a level 3 visa anyway. I don't know how the Eyes of Horus work because I've never tried, but can you drag one of them out of inventory and place it on a lot far away from your sim?
I don't remember exactly how they work but that's close. I think you drag one eye to a nearby floor or wall, and drag the other eye to a floor or wall where you want to go, then click on the one close to you. It's a good idea to put them back in your inventory right away, so you don't lose them or forget where you put them. They can save you a lot of travel time and even get you into places that are normally unreachable.
