UI for a Sense of Wonder at Destinations

Our Sims can visit natural wonders or special destinations and it's fun.  The landscape and public destinations add so much to the game. 

Only thing missing is a way for a Player to direct the Sim to stop, admire the view and have a sense of wonder or awe reaction while looking at this special place or impressive natural feature. 
If in a group, could have UI to do this together.  

A moodlet would be good too.  A reward for finding / noticing the beautiful art in the game.  
If a Sim has Loves Outdoors they could have a larger buff. 
A Sim that doesn't like the outdoors might have a % for negative.  

I think about this every time I take a Sim to the edge of the Sulani Volcano.  They stand small at the edge of molten lava and billowing smoke and ... nothing.  I pretend they are awed. 
The real gameplay is the Sim stands a second before looking for something else to do or leave. 

Wishing for a WOW moment at these places:  

Waterfalls
Volcano
Hidden locations
Large special trees
Temples
Geysers
Public Art Sculptures
Petroglyphs

    If sims can Admire Art, they should also be able to Admire Nature.  

  • Would be nice if they also got wishes to go and see such landmarks, depending on their traits, likes, lifestyles, etc. Also maybe they could get some moodlets also when seeing pictures of these places.
