Is World Adventures worth buying?
I'm inclined to invest a bit more in Sims 3. WA sounds good with the idea of having a vacation home, nectar making, photography... Let me know: is World Adventures worth buying?
Forum Discussion
Absolutely! (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.
