Think my sims only spent one night at their lodge on a 7 day trip! The rest of the nights they slept in a tent - even camped on the edge of that high ledge that sticks out over the jungle. Had breakfast hotdogs from their campfire there too. All that cheated money wasted on a lodge that was barely used! I did not have problems putting the tent anywhere - even put it in tombs. As others have already said - have to use 'place in world' (granted - does not always end up where you hoped) Placed it in the cantina area once and other sims kept using it - lol!
