Jungle Adventure Fans

I really like this pack. I love to see how parts of my own culture were incorporated into the sims, it's very funny to me to see my sims do that new dance, the new radio station (simlish reggaeton!), the items in build mode allow me to actually recreate houses from my home town. I love how they incorporate supernatural stuff to the game with the skeletons and the artefacts, how you have to go back multiple times if you want to complete the aspiration (comfortably). I just wished you could also actually live there.

The general vibe of Selvadorada and its culture is really fun! I love having Sims just hanging out in the main square. Also really enjoy exploring the jungle with the little choose-your-own-adventure style options!

(Also, I do love the temple exploration. It's not quite as obviously Zelda-inspired as WA in TS3, but still pretty fun. And yeah, the BB items are some of my favourites in the series!)

Archaeology, culture, having a different vacation world. I've sent quite a few households there and they do different things. Most often, I send honeymooners there to the romantic villa with a pool and they come back with kids.

I usually send typical vacationers to the market/bar and to the museum. They spend a lot of time relaxing. Maybe they go a little bit into the jungle. Most adventurous sims go farther in. I actually haven't played with the temple. They usually go swimming at the Omniscan pools. Sometimes they go into the other paths. They often camp over night.

I have sent groups exploring the jungle a few times. Two have died. A lot of families go there and just find ways to relax and spend time together since they are on vacation. Maybe they get a little familiar with the locals.

One sim married a local and brought him back. I completely disliked the specific sim that she married. It's hard to explain, he just was not nice at all. They had a baby who is named after him, but I disliked that sim enough that when he caught on fire doing laundry, I just said, "Ok, good riddance." That's not a reflection on Selvadoradians though, just that specific character. The kid is great though and is half-Selvadoradian.

It all varies but my vacations with the sims are typically more chill. I definitely spend a lot of time with the culture. It's nice to have the option to be more adventurous and some are but typically they bring tents, get supplies and go camping. They try to see how long they can stay in the jungle. Those are only sims who are more prepared and intrepid or more expendable.

I love everything but I love the culture the most!

I really like the temple, I have a sim who collects the relics (which I love especially since you can actually curse a sim to death with them) and I actually enjoy looking for the JA collectibles more than any other collectibles in game, cause to me this feels like it makes sense and you kinda have to actively look for them instead of getting them randomly by doing whatever.

I enjoy both Archaeology and Investigating the Temple equally.
Whenever my sim is in Selvadorada, I switch between the Archaeologist aspiration and the Jungle Adventurer aspiration, depending on where they are and what they are doing.
I also like exploring the local culture and the addition of ancient curses is a nice touch. I would like to see that more in future packs.
I wish the temple offered more brain teasers though. There is really no challenge at all in fully exploring the temple. TS3 WA did that pretty well.

Additionally, since CAS and BB mode are also part of the gameplay, I’m not sure why that can’t be an option here for fellow simmers?
In fact, Selvadorada is one of my more preferable places to build. From crash sites, to secret military posts, to mysterious temples etc. JA contains a couple of my favourite build objects.
I also love that chopper that scans around some of the jungle areas. Little details like that help to get fully immersed into the game.

All of it. <3

But I think my favorite is just exploring the jungle itself and confronting the dangers within. I like to have my Sims bring tents and coolers and take their time making their way through so they have to spend at least one night in the jungle and one in the temple and they aren't allowed to go back through the main gate, not even to use bathrooms . As they start to run out of certain supplies, the risk gets higher. The challenge is to get them all the way to the temple, through it successfully, and return to town without dying, lol. It's best with a full household, but you have to pause it a lot to prevent the Sims from running back to the rental house or the bathrooms.

Good times! It's such an awesome pack!

I recently delved as deep into JA as I ever did (and have been enjoying it greatly). But am I correct in thinking there is only one temple to explore? I keep thinking there were at least three....
