I have been playing this expansion a lot and really love it for my Sims. I love the fact it is not meant for Holidays and vacations and fully supports the idea it is just for locals for a change - something totally new to the Sims series for a REFRESHING change.

I don’t think limiting options is something to be celebrated and viewed as a refreshing change despite how customary it is for The Sims 4 to take away options and freedom.

In The Sims 2, I could own a vacation home at any destination and only have to pay for travel and bills (far cheaper than hotel fees). It was also one vacation pack, with plenty of destinations, and the ability for me to add new ones, too, rather than $40 or $20 a piece.

Also, I fully believe TS4 should have given us one vacation expansion, with 3 locations, and game packs should have added even more. Unfortunately, opposite to what many of us believed how it would be, these game packs do not supplement expansions at all.

I agree as well for what good is limiting features and getting an gimped game that should be taking advantage of the technology that is available today. Sims 4 is not even years ahead of it time as it took a step back with loading screens. I do not give kudos for the creation of Sims 4 as it was done to cut down on performance issues in which EA/Maxis for me show they are not willing to take the time to tweak the programs but yet keep pumping out packs and not squashing bugs and bugs are galore in Sims 4 as it was in Sims 3 supposely. Then on top of everything is the execution of it's products like IL which was originally an GP and now an EP and what EA/Maxis could have done in good faith is to charge the GP rate. Sims 4 has an lot of controversy surrounding its existence.
