I wish Island Living was both residential World and Vacation

I would like all the worlds to have the option of being both a livable or vacation world. How this could work out is this: When you create a household and move them into a particular world that world becomes their home world. All other worlds are vacation worlds for that particular household only. So when they select to go on a vacation all other worlds except their home world can be chosen as an option. Sims should also have the option to visit any of these worlds without having to formally take a vacation.

Why I don't like the current system of vacation worlds is because they are made from a viewpoint of people who have grown up in big cities/American suburbs. I would like the option to play as a herbalist sim in granite falls, or a conservationist from sulani who goes on a vacation to San myshuno.

I actually think this should be easily achieved by just adding a new lot type to make all worlds vacation\livable. I hope in the future they will add a resort lot type and then we can plop them down in any world. Here is hoping we get some type of hotel management game pack. At this rate we will have to hope it comes next year because this year seem pretty much planned out with Magic and Moschino.

I think Granite Falls and the Jungle are probably stuck as destination worlds at this point.

I'm so happy we are getting this EXP but I was gutted when they said you can only live there.

It would have been cool if you could also go on vacation there and owning another house (holiday home) or staying in a Airbnb or something like that.

I just hope you can get a tan/sunburn in other worlds.

I was hoping too, that if you want you can live or just visit for a couple days in hotel. Yea, they could add hotels in this EP otherwise it is just game pack looks like :( So, it is just new world, and new water activities, nothing more.

If you're OK having a mod for hotels, I've posted a run down of it here:

I placed a group of Sims in Strangerville, using the freerealestate cheat. Once they completed the 'mission', I brought them back to their starting point. I see no reason why one couldn't do something similar with the island. It's very easy to move your Sims back and forth. I plan on having my new Global Superstar take his bride to the island for a honeymoon. Of course, he's just a teen, still. By the time the EP is released, I expect to have him aged up to YA, and his current high school sweetheart, too. They have exchanged promise rings, after all. If she doesn't kill him, first, when he reacts to his flirty fans, that is. LOL

There is quite the trend these days to rent another person's apartment or house for a vacation, over a hotel room. I would just use the freerealestate on cheat, select the desired house and have your Sims stay for as long as you want.

omg i never thought of doing the retail lot thing! that seems like a perfect idea..
and with work i can just use the calendar and make holidays up for 7 days and put day off for each of them.

I wish all worlds were like this! I hope someday we find that it was codeable after all, but the fact that we didn't get "rental" as a lot tag option by now makes me think it's never going to happen :(

I am hoping a modder will make a few changes and allow us to use the rental lot trait to make it happen. There is a resort mod floating around out there. I will probably use that until I find something better.

I am over the moon about living in this wonderful world so l am very happy. Wish my sims could live in Granite Falls as well. That said a lot trait in order to make a specific lot into a rental lot would be a lot of fun.
