Travel/Tourism pack idea

I don't think I want a cruise ship for a neighborhood however I would love for a vacation type like plan your ticket select room either basic, or ocean view suite, have restaurants, shopping area, entertainment. Then get off and enjoy the neighborhood and what they have to offer go sight seeing and etc. 

Oh i understand. That's the only thing i could think of a possibility for players that wants to permanently live there, but it'd definitely have rentals for vacationers. I even imagined the cruise ship being a small part of some coastal neighborhood, something that works like the Magic Realm. But how do you think the team could portray it?

I agree and would love the option to travel to new destinations using a more realistic mechanic than just hitting "M" on my keyboard. Some have argued that having Sims load into an "in-between" lot, such as an Airport or Sea Port, just adds more loading screens, but I argue it wouldn't as the Travel Port could replace "Manage Worlds" screen:

AIRPORT Community Lot

1. Home Lot > Computer/Phone > Travel to Airport
2. (load screen)
3. Airport > Choose Destination (Functional Gameplay)
4. (load screen)
5. Destination

Take a VACATION (current system)

1. Home Lot > Computer/Phone > Take a vacation
2. (load screen)
3. Manage Worlds
4. (load screen)
5. Destination

REAL LIFE

1. Home
2. (drive)
3. Airport
4. (fly)
5. Destination

I could see a Tourism system split up into a set of Getaway Expansions:

• Fly Away Getaway
• Sail Away Getaway (Cruise Ship)
• Railway Getaway
• Subway Getaway

Each of these EPs would have a Travel Port hidden lot:

• Airport
• Sea Port
• Train Station
• Subway Station

Working within the constraints of how EP-Worlds are typically packaged, EP-Worlds tend to consist of 3 neighborhoods each containing 4 lots. I imagine that Travel EP-Worlds would detach these neighborhoods into three separate Destination Worlds to explore, each World equaling a single large Neighborhood of 4 or 5 Lots. Hopefully each of these Destination Worlds would offer unique cultural gameplay to set them apart.

But what if Players don't want to load into a Travel Port to visit these new Maps? I offer a few solutions to unlock these Destination Worlds on the Manage Worlds screen by either completing an Aspiration (Frequent Flyer) or earning enough Culture Skill, or owning a Private Plane or Sailboat, for instance.

Personally, I would love to experience the gameplay of travel in The Sims 4, complete with a trip to the Airport or Train Station and enjoy their respective game tasks. I would like to take in the view of the open ocean as my Sims wander the decks of a Cruise Ship. I would like for my Sims to collect Travel Magnets or new Post Cards or other souvenirs. I would like the opportunity to add new adventures to my game with new ways to spend Simoleons through travel and tourism.

@thornwill great ideas as usual!

I'd love the cruise ship because I miss the ship from Sims 2. I'm obsessed with trying to add boats to the game and I've made my own holiday vacation rental boat for Sulani (attached first image). I was a bit restricted by the size of the water lot as I already used a bigger Sulani lot for a residential house boat and marina (second image).

If they added ship building or lots to the game, that's my dream!

I also love the idea of adding Travellers culture to the game as well as more travel and vacation themes. Added my Me Too.

@Vyo4 These are real interesting ideas. I think the game could give us the options (like Active Careers) to "Travel directly" and "Go to the Travel Port". The loading screen, as you showed would add only one more, but this remembered me that a travel UI, instead of loading the Manage Worlds, like the club hangout UI or the Social event lpcation UI too, would be great for the game and a pack like this

@simsplayer818Thank you. I really loved your builds.
