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?

At this point, the OP would be hard-pressed to ignore the overwhelmingly positive response to their question... and I am among that response. World Adventures is an expansion I greatly endorse. The enviroments are screenshot worthy, the tombs are fun as I love having goals to complete and danger to face. I haven't even tried nectar making yet which I read here is fun. But... somebody should warn you that the expansion, as nothing is, isn't perfect. Traveling can be quite buggy, so I definitely recommend getting NRaas's Traveler extension mod as somebody else here said. (And if you're new to modding, please read a guide. Nobody wants your game crashing) And while some adventures are fun and easy to do, others are annoying fetch-quests that you can't complete because you have no idea where the item you're supposed to bring or activate is. Online guides will be useful there.
And whether this is a negative or not is up for debate (circular as it would be), but traveling with multiple Sims can be extremely expensive. Personally, I do only 2 at the most, but more is possible if your Sims can pay for it. For me, I do couples traveling together. But overall, if you're looking for something to do and you want to occasionally get away from the usual hustle and bustle of normal gameplay, World Adventures is a great addition, especially if you're against supernatural content.
EDIT: I just realized you've already bought it... agh... this is why we read threads completely before making a response. D'oh!
@AHolyToilet - If you don't want to use the money cheats "Kaching" and "Motherlode", you can buy the Life Time Reward "Jetsetter" for your traveling sims, it'll reduce the price with 25% according to Sims Wiki.
And if you want your sim/sims to be able to stay longer in the vacation world, there's another useful LTR called "Prepared Traveler" that adds an extra 3 days for every sim that has it.
And of course the trait "Adventurous" is the obvious choice when/if you're creating a sim who is going to become an experienced globetrotter.

Oh no, I've no issue with the expenses for traveling. I was just mentioning it for those who might. Although I had forgotten about that reward, so that will help those who also did.
