How do you take vactions?

If your sims have the vacation days, use the phone before work to call work. Use a vacation day is an option ... for adults and for child/teens in school. It will allow them to miss work/school without affecting performance.

Just be sure to make the call BEFORE the work/school day begins. Once it's time for the sim to leave, it's too late.

Oh, and vacation days do not transfer ... so like when your sim child earns vacation days ... once he becomes a teen, he loses all his child vacation days ... same with teen going to adult. If an adult changes job, he loses all earned vacation days.

Yep. Another point to remember is that as your sims work, they do earn additional vacation time. EA wants to make sure we all rush to download the Outdoor Retreat "game pack" when it's available, so they've given our sims vacation days. Isn't that generous of them!

I have my sims take vacation days all the time, yes it is in the game.

There is absolutely no option to call for vacation days or maternity leave. Those may have been added to the game but they are so faulty and glitched that the only way is to still have a sim who knows enough in the writing skill to fake a note for your other sims. Multiple times now I've been told both my sims could take time off for maternity or they have been complaining they want a vacation and no matter what I do I cannot get this so called Use Vacation Day option

You can take vacation as one of the options on the phone. I have done it

There is no way to take a vacation in the sims 4.

I haven't taken a vacation since the summer.

Well, turns out an APPARENTLY outdated mod was to blame. It literally short circuited the entire system and disabled that option from even appearing. If anyone is having issues and has the Larger Interaction Queue mod, that would be the one to delete until further notice
