- mw1525Seasoned NewcomerBesides having three beautiful destinations to visit, WA also comes with some very useful objects which expand options for playing. The tents can be used to take your Sims on camping trips in any world (or, in your own back yard). I personally love the shower-in-a-can which makes maintaining hygiene the speediest in the game (all my athletes keep a couple of cans in their gym bags). The option to invite those you befriend on your travels to come visit you in your home world is also a nice thing. There's a good amount of new produce to harvest, fish to catch and collectables to find. All I can say is there's just a lot of fun built into this pack.
- Thanks to all of you for your advice. I got it!! I went with my elder sims to france: we made one adventure, learned new recipes, bought the nectar machine, a couple of expensive nectar, put the hotel kitchen on fire haha so much fun!!
- brandontaylor615Rising TravelerYes, my favorite parts of this expansion are the Martial Arts, tomb exploration, and the tiberium gem. Photography isn't really that fun, but I do like nectar making, although I don't use it as much as I should. Only thing I don't like is the fact you have to wait two days after a trip but that can easily be taken care of with cheats or lifetime rewards.
- Not sure I've seen such an enthusiastic and (thus far) unanimous result on a poll on this forum before. Now I'm tempted to create one where the question is something like "Do you think we will have weather tomorrow?" just to see what happens. :)
- Yes yes and YES!!! One of my favorite expansions because you can play the way you want to. You can go there as a tourist, dress up in the cultural outfits and just enjoy your trip in any of the worlds, take pictures, explore, go to the markets, meet other sims, etc. Or you can go on quests, increase your Visa level and have a lot of fun as an explorer.
- mw1525Seasoned Newcomer@telmarina - Glad you decided to get it. I hope you'll have as much fun with this pack as all of us who have responded here has.
@Igazor - I'll answer your poll. My answer is 'Yes', but only if Seasons is installed. Otherwise, 'No' and that counts for RL as well ;). - Another yes from me and I don't even use the actually tomb-raiding bits that much. As many have said both nectar-making and martial arts skills are super fun, as are the CAst items. Lastly, I also recommend getting the Traveler mod, in addition to what others have said it can also turn any town you have saved into a vacation destination, which is super fun. What are you waiting for? You should definitely get it!
- Heck yes!!! I wish I had bought it when it first came out. I was afraid it would be boring like Sims 2 Bon Voyage so I didn't, but once I finally decided to buy it, years later, I couldn't believe what I was missing! I played for HOURS sending my sim to Egypt exploring tombs! Worth it! :smiley:

Laughing because I remember the split decision this pack used to be on the boards. Some people loved it; some hated it. Personally, I love it. To the OP - glad to see you picked it up and are enjoying it."Surreal;c-17386872" wrote:

Yes, WA was not universally well-received when it was released. This perhaps might not have happened if it had instead followed Ambitions or maybe Late Night in the release schedule. Players were disappointed in the quest scenarios, didn't like having their gameplay directed to them by task/goal oriented scenarios already defined for them even if it always was optional to play through them, and were very concerned that WA was going to set the tone for the rest of the expansions in that regard. That of course didn't happen and I don't think we know if it was ever really the plan for it to happen.
Not choosing WA as the first pack to install now certainly softens that feeling or makes it disappear entirely for players just coming into or rediscovering the game. It's amazing how over ten years of perspective can change things. :)
