Granite Falls & Selvadorada Deserve More

With Zerbu’s “All Worlds Residential” mod no longer working, I’ve realised something: I just don’t use the vacation worlds anymore.

Granite Falls and Selvadorada are beautiful, but because they’re locked to vacation-only gameplay, I rarely visit them in my long-term saves. I don’t naturally send families on holidays often enough to justify travelling there, so they end up largely untouched.

What makes this feel especially strange now is that we can place vacation rentals in any world. So the idea of entire worlds being restricted to “vacation only” feels outdated.

Granite Falls would be perfect for an off-grid legacy. Selvadorada would make an amazing permanent jungle community. But as long as they’re locked, they simply don’t get used in my gameplay.

At this point, would it make sense for destination worlds to function like normal residential worlds?  Vacation lots can be added anywhereso  we don't need a world restriction.

Right now, some of the most beautiful worlds in the game are the ones I visit the least.

  • I have always wished for Granite Falls to be residential. It makes so much more sense to me for us to have the world as residential and dedicate the lots we want as vacation. Then I would actually love to have some more vacation worlds designed like batuu, except each world could be a resort or a cruise, so it makes sense that it's just one "place" to visit and not live - or imagine if we got a Disney/Universal park style like this too! 

  • You can have a second home in destination worlds can you? And live there for longer. At some point they stopped making those destination worlds and made the vacation homes available in the worlds, cant remember if that was basegame update or comes with specific EP, correct me please if you know. In my game i like those destination worlds because they feel like you are going on vacation with your sims because of your limited time there. But for example Sulani, Mt Komerebi and Tartosa im naturally playing like they are also vacation worlds where your sim can visit or have second home. But I do get your point, Granite Falls is this lush forest type of environment we dont have really in the main worlds, but close to that is the werewolf world, i place my forest liking sims there. I usually go to Granite falls for short vacations and to get some of the herbs from there.
