Creating vacation destinations out of residential worlds

in Sulani I am using Lani St Taz for tourism

only Kahananuis live there but I moved them on smaller lot since I used their lot for hotel in hopes we get the hotel functionality one day

theres also rental and dorky looking "yacht" there that I built for vacation purposes

I am considering also doing some type of old hotel/inn for Mt.Komorebi maybe where Akiyamas live but I'd have to move Akiyamas so :sweat_smile:

I also have couple rentals as I kept one of the original snowy ones and then theres grudge house also in Senbamachi thats available

Windenburg, will most definitely have inn in old town center that doubles as bar

and my sims medieval builds are gonna be on island so there might be some lodging there

Strangerville maybe the trailer but also i did put couple rooms when i made saloon out of that get famous set dressing stuff I hope we get real saloon b/b one day

Henford I have Frogs Wallow in Old New Henford

Oasis Springs maybe rental somewhere

might also put rental house in Tartosa

magnolia promenade? possibly.

rental for brindleton mayhaps?

considered Forgotten Hollow but honestly do I ever leave Forgotten Hollow ? No.
so making it vacation would only restrict me

I will keep it residential only while obviously inviting in any delicious looking necks for stay overs or such

and Glimmerbrook i might make B&B or something but honestly i am stuck between styles there so remains to be seen

oh and everywhere is tent approved

otherwise I don't really have plans or space for that matter

Henford on Bagley has a haunted castle for rent in my game. If you hire a butler, it's pretty much a self contained vacation lot. Whenever I build vacation destinations I try to think of what would be the attraction of the area. I also have a rental in Forgotten Hollow, I send my sims there for exercise, fresh air and relaxation. And of course, vampires. I did redesign the neighbourhood to have brighter, more cheerful appearance so the vampires nest is not that obvious.

ooh, is the castle on the gallery?

There is an older version of it on the gallery, but I will upload current version to the gallery tonight. I have changed the landscaping around it and added a pool.

Windenburg is a great place for a vacation. Your Sims can tour the haunted mansion, grab a latte, go dancing, and maybe catch sight of the sea serpent Emily.

My poor sims don’t get vacations. I immediately change all vacation lots to residential.

I need to find or create some sort of Windenburg rental in the historic looking part of town. I have some vacation options on the crumbling isle part but I don't totally associate it with the rest of Windenburg.

It's never too late to give it a try. I find that certain worlds I enjoy but don't play in often. Vacations give a nice opportunity to visit these worlds without committing to them for regular gameplay.

One of my favorite things to do in game is send my sims on vacation. I was curious if anyone has any great ideas or lots that you have used to create vacation destinations within residential worlds.

I like to send my writer sim to Sulani for a working vacation.
He lived in San Myshuno, which is very different from Sulani, and makes Sulani all the more enjoyable to visit.

This was before rental homes were a thing in The sims 4.
I had him buy a plot of land as a retail business and use it as a vacation home.

He would slowly build up the property over time.

We have rental homes now, so I don't need to do this anymore, but I like the idea of sims owning vacation property.
