- UlanDhorSeasoned NoviceIn my case, definitely yes. I have done countless vacations, mostly to Shang Simla, which is just beautiful in this game. This, ironically, means that I don't even consider the nectar making or the photography in my decision. Photography just clogs up the savegame, which is why I avoid it. I have yet to try nectar making. Martial arts are quite fun, and the time in your vacation home is a time away from your daily chores, which can be particularly busy for children and teens. It's also a time out of time, as your world at home is frozen while you are gone, and such is aging. I also like the "tomb raiding" part, at least as long as it doesn't devolve into a complete trap fest.
Keep in mind though that you should have the appropriate NRaas mods (here, aside from the general bug catchers, mostly Traveler) in place, otherwise you will probably experience all kinds of bugs during transitions, like lost inventory items, stuck pregnancies, sometimes lost sims, etc. - Thank you for your advice @Turjan ! I will def have to look at this Nraas mod. At the moment i have Generations, Seasons and Night Life and i don't feel the need of any mods. But ive heard a lot about this mod and i will check it.
- Definitely yes.
Although Photography isn't my cup of tea either, I absolutely love nectar making; It's super fun and a relatively easy way to make money (over generations if your lifespan isn't that long, like mine). Of course, the destinations are beautiful and I love the exploring. Although I'm guessing fun is over once you've raided all the tombs but that's not the case for me yet so it's still exciting stuff. And last but not least, martial arts is bomb af! - KevinL5275New TravelerYes!!! World Adventures is one of the best expansions.
- WA is my absolute favorite expansion pack! I play without mods and have experienced no issues with glitches here (unlike ambitions!) The tombs are just challenging enough and new items/fish/clothing etc are a great additions to your home world. All of my sims now have koi ponds at home!
- I love that expansion! I love traveling to all 3 worlds! There are several cool things you can get as you do the adventures using what are called ancient coins. :)
- I voted yes for this as well... :)
I love sending my Sims to the different worlds in this EP even if I don't have them do the quests on the quest board. I've sent my Sims there for their honeymoon after they gotten married. And even if I don't go to the worlds in some of my game plays, I love using the items from the EP such as the nectar making machine, the fortune cookie machine... :) - quixotictigerNew SpectatorAbsolutely! (But then, I admit I think all the packs are worth buying, lol.)
The main feature of WA is the adventure quests and dungeon/tomb exploration, but even if you don’t utilize that aspect often, it’s still fun to visit the beautiful worlds (China is especially gorgeous, imo).
Like others have mentioned, nectar-making and martial arts are great skills. More harvestable plants and recipes were added with WA, along with additional collectibles and the ability to transfigure various gems and metals. There are tons of build/buy objects too—from regular and themed furnishings and décor to special items like tents, treasure chests, snake charming baskets, fortune cookie makers, incense burners and the Eyes of Horus.
I would also highly recommend the NRaas Traveler mod (along with Overwatch and ErrorTrap) to keep travel transitions smooth and avoid/correct errors. Traveler additionally allows you to travel with other age stages and states that the EA travel system does not (e.g., toddlers, pregnant Sims, pets), allows travelling with members of other households and you can pause the travel countdown clock so you can stay in the vacation world longer if you wish. This works not only with the 3 WA travel worlds but also with the other pack, Store or custom worlds you have installed. - Rflong7New VanguardI like it for what it adds to the game. I can make tombs in the regular hoods and nectaries, too. :)
- NikkeiSimmerRising AdventurerThe Martial Arts sold it for me as well as three different vacation worlds. One of these days I’ll figure out photography in the Sims 3. Between all that and the fact that you can go exploring tombs which I must confess doesn’t interest me in the slightest, it’s more than worth getting.
