[Expansion Idea] The Sims 4: World Getaway (Hotels & Cruises)
I have always loved the idea of hotels being officially added to the sims 4! I was pondering what it would be like if an idea like this would be implemented into the game since with the vacation packs currently in the game I always felt something was missing...The experience of travel itself! I imagine the gameplay experience as the player being able to book a cruise or stay in a hotel, with unique gameplay that would make vacations more memorable and immersive! So here, I'd like to share a full concept for a potential vacation expansion pack.
Core Features:
Cruises
New hidden lot type: Cruise Ship
Book your own cabin, dine at buffets, swim on deck, and attend shows and activities
Background and water moves to give the illusion that the boat is moving
Arrive at the new destination world from the cruise as the hotel or island comes into view by the moving background and then the loading screen will lead the player to the new world where there is a full functioning hotel!
Hotels
New lot type: Hotel
Sims can check in, book rooms, order room service
Shared amenities: Pool, spa, gym, kids' play area
Works in existing worlds as well
Visit or own your own hotel!
Potential Extras
Hospitality Skill: greeting guests, checking guests in, calming angry customers
Higher levels unlock better room upgrades
Affects star ratings of your hotel
Event Planning Skill: Organize Weddings, conferences, or cruise activities
With this skill added...certain existing careers in the sims 4 can allow for a business trip
Improves customer outcomes for "Hotel banquets" or "Cruise parties"
Higher levels unlock unique party themes or discounts
New Performance skill: Covers singing, comedy, or magic acts on cruises/hotels
Guests are happier when entertainers have higher skill
New potential career: Magician
Culinary arts (Expanded Cooking Branch): A sub branch of the cooking skill that emphasis buffet prep, exotic dishes, and cruise ship/hotel meals
Could add "Food Presentation" bonuses for high-end hotels
Hotel Manager Live Career: Build and manager a hotel from a modest roadside inn (1-star) to a luxury resort
Promotions are tied to your hotel's star rating, guest satisfaction, and skills
Levels:
1. Front Desk Clerk - Answer phone, greet guests, help out guests
2. Concierge Assistant - Help guests find entertainment in the area, recommend activities, unlock the hospitality charm interaction
3. Room Service Attendant - Deliver food or amenities, reward: getting access to buffet trays and hotel service carts
4. Hotel Manager/Resort Director - Supervise Staff, unlock the ability to comp rooms or give guests discounts, balance budget, improve amenities, rewards: hotel branding options, custom uniforms, run high-profile events, unlock rare guest spawns (Celebrities), Organize banquets or conferences
Cruise Entertainer: Climb from lounge act to headliner on a cruise ship
Performance matters: Poor shows = Booing, great shows = Standing ovations
Well, these are my ideas and this would be my ultimate dream pack! Just some ideas for what could be added but I am sure there could be much more amazing things added to a pack like this.
