How many sims to Selvadorada?

I plan for it to be a regular vacation option for my sims, so I'll send various households in my rotation for different reasons. I have several different households of different sizes that I do plan to send when I get the GP. Some groups will be more less adventurous, but I'm sure that I'll have some go into the jungle.

I have a few families that are likely to go. (I really like the portable toddler beds which make it easier for families with toddlers to go to Granite Falls too). I also recently created a young, intense restaurant owner who will likely go to Selvadorada to learn about the food and explore restaurant concepts. He may end up finding more than he bargained for by exploring. He has a sister who is a very self-assured personality who would probably be good at exploring. Realistically, I'll probably send quite a few varied households because it will be nice to have another vacation option.

One kind of basic question I have is about rotational play. If I have a single sim in a household who dies without an heir in that household, will I be able to continue playing with my other households in that same save? Basically, I don't want to start my entire rotation over just because one household died out?

I've never had that happen in order to find out. If I'll just be able to carry on with my other households then I'll be happy. Basically, I won't see a Game Over screen in that case? I'm happy to let individual sims die of game-induced causes, I just don't want to lose my other households.

Of course. If you are playing a household that has one sim, and that one sim dies...the game will automatically go to "manage worlds" to select a new household

I think I'll just send my one Sim and see what happens!

I'll probably do a single sim for starters, but I'm a little wary of trying the dangerous stuff with just one there.

I normal'y use one sim but going to have a couple doing the exploring in case something happen's to one of them and they can share the work load dealing with with poison fire traps ext

How many sims do you plan to take at once to go Jungle Exploring? I created six roommates and put them in an apartment complex together. I was going to have them go on a "roommate trip" to Selvadorada. Do you think taking six sims will be too many?

i'm thinking I'll take two at first, get used to the place and exploring it, instead of wasting my time having to take care of too many sims' needs at once.

Since the patch took away some CAS items, I've put my adventuring crew of 8 on hold and deciding instead to create a married couple, Selvadoradians themselves, to go adventuring into their own jungle lol. It'll be on a new game so it doesn't break my other saves.

It took away CC content or items that come with the packs?

I'll most likely take about 4 Sims, tents, cooler, all that stuff. That way if 2 are sleeping the other 2 can explore and that way I'll always have rested Sims ready to explore. I can't wait! I did make a Dora the Explorer and Swiper Fox Sims that I would like to take, but she is a child so not sure what she would be able to do, so probably young adults at first.

I will be taking only one for starters.
