I’d like to see a simple Jungle adventure refresh

100% agree.

I would like hiking trails as well up there like yeah like finding treasure is okay but I would also like to have the option to hike, mountain climb.

I don’t think this change would be as simple as some people seem to think, since elements of the gameplay are already tied to the vacation aspect and would have to be remade, like how the parts of the jungle that you can access are designed to change each vacation - that wouldn’t work if the world was simply made residential.

I would love to use selvadorada and granite falls as residential worlds. When residential worlds were updated to allow rental homes, I was disappointed that vacation worlds weren't updated to allow residential homes. Swimmable waters in these worlds would be great but I think if it was possible to add this to existing worlds, the sims team would already have done so.

@Briana2425 I like your idea as well, never thought about it until now. a hiking trail in these worlds would be awesome.

I think it would be nice if we could open the Selvadorada sites as museums after we discover them.

I too wish selvadorada and granite falls could be residential

the way all worlds can be vacation worlds now it feels like unneeded restriction to not be able to live in these worlds

like sure sims can just own empty lot and keep vacationing constantly but its kind of annoying

I'd be happy even if just one or two lots per vacation world were made residential. Technically it might be fine to make one hood residential, while the deep jungle access hood of Selvadorada and the deep forest of Granite Falls stay as they are.

Modders made it possible to reside in Selvadorada, so I don't see why it should be a big job for EA to make the same change.

About mountain climbing and hiking trails, they were both features of other packs, and I don't mind them staying that way. I like to have unique reasons for visiting/playing each world, rather than "all" features being made BG free. If making a JA refresh there could be added some sightseeing tour etc though, maybe a NPC guide leading a small group into the first few levels of the jungle, or even just walking in the open hoods, too. Might be harder relating to original community lots though, as many of us do change the lot content over time.

I don’t expect them to change the jungle part, just the individual lots. And maybe add some swimming area like where you can fish by the dock.

The problem is that they would have to change the jungle part- it’s coded around the fact that sims can only visit while on vacation, so accessible areas change each time, gates reset between vacations etc. If sims can live in the world (or visit at any time without booking a rental lot) this mechanic doesn’t work. Allowing sims to live in the world would require a fundamental overhaul of how the jungle actually works. It’s ok in a mod because users can accept the trade-off that another feature will not work as intended, but that’s not ok in a game update.

I wish we could get another world like Selvadorada if this can't have the residential option, maybe a world that's considered in close proximity to Selvadorada.

Ok, I see where you are coming from.

I would love another world like the one in Jungle adventure that we could live in….
