Jungle adventure worth buying?

I'm absolutely in love with Selvadorada!! The world is B E A U T I F U L! I love the athmosphere, the jungle noises, the nature...they did a great job with this world!

The Buy/Build items are one of my favourites, and the Create-a-Sim items are lovely to me.

The Temple is very mystic, everytime I go there, I get instantly goosebumbs! And sure, if you are careful, you don't die at all, and you can solve the temple-questions easy, but I'm a player who doesn't need the challenge. I just love to have Archelogists-Sims, who like to explore every inch of the amazing jungle and enjoy the wonderful nature.

So, I would recommend this pack for you! I was a little afraid, that my Sims would die. I'm a very careful player, and I can understand your fear. But really, if you are careful, and buy like everything from the sales tables (LOL) and don't activate these magic relics, your good to go!

Enjoy Selvadorada, my friend! :)

I actually like this one! Mostly for the build mode objects and the culture aspect of it. Theres even "secret recipes" you can make once you master the salvadoradian cooking skill. I like the atmosphere and the game play isnt bad.

This is one of my favorite packs! I spend more time on vacation in the jungle than I do at home lol. My sim is an archaeologist and I love how it's set up where the items you find are random (improved by skill of course) so it hasn't gotten boring yet. Plus Selvadorada is absolutely gorgeous. And personally I don't mind the fact that sims can die. I mean, I know that sounds horrible. But I've always loved the realistic game play side of it, and to me the risks (like going into the jungle without supplies) wouldn't make any sense if there couldn't be a serious consequence, I'd just ignore it.

If you like vacations and a bit of exploring? Then yes, best GP for TS4 :) There's plenty of content, a lot of attention to detail, beautiful environments, the temples & hidden pools, locals, lots of jungle gear to buy, etc. etc.

I really really love JA. There's almost nothing to dislike about it, unless of course, you're not at all looking for a vacation theme (though if you're not looking for it because you didn't like OR, I'd say JA is miles better)!

Even though I want this I'm waiting for a sale. I always jump the gun and buy full price. I'm going to be good. Besides, I'm enjoying Cats and Dogs at the moment. The Latino music sounds good in this new game pack.

You got to really do it on purpose if you die in this pack (like, refusing to use an antidote).

I think it's something fun to do once in a while, but it gets boring and repetitive pretty fast. I mean, it's probably worth $20 in the sense that it kept me busy much longer than going to see two movies at the theater for the same price... but not sure I'll go back there regularly, even if my Sims get the vacation days for it.

It's a good Simoleon maker I suppose, but I'm on my 15th generation or something and my Sims are so rich anyway, it doesn't matter to me LOL.

Thank you fr your answer, the money maker is a good thing to me, because i can't play with the same family much time, i really like to start new families with little money, and see them evolve in career, or sell things they collect, or art work they do, so that part in this GP is a plus. :)

Not sure if you've made your decision yet, OP considering it's been over a week now, but I thought I would throw my two cents in.

Two things you need to know before you listen to my response:
1. My play style is very family oriented - I love building legacies and watching family trees grow.
2. I was so generously gifted this pack, so I did not pay the full price for it.

Here are my thoughts:
I love it!! Does it change the overall nature of the game? No. Does it add anything to family/generational play? No. But what it does do is give your sims something fun to do, and it actually is challenging. I created a thread detailing the first time I went into the jungle, and let's just say it did not end well. My sim actually died :lol: It wasn't part of a legacy or anything like that. She was just a one off sim that I had made to explore this pack. And the funny thing is, I didn't intend for her to die! She caught on fire, and by the time I realized that there was a pool, or she could just extinguish herself, it was too late! So if you know all the features of how to save a sim and are prepared, you will be fine. But I actually found it super enjoyable without knowing how to solve everything. It made it that much more risky.

Now, here is the thing. As I said, I am a family/generational player, so I will admit that the usefulness of this pack isn't that high for me. I absolutely enjoyed it the first time I went, but unless I am playing a story where I want a sim in a particular generation to become an archaeologist, which I may, then I'm not sure how much use I will get out of this pack once I explore all of it. So for me, the replayability isn't quite there. But what is there is a lot of fun. Now, I know the gurus addressed the replayability issue by making sure that you don't have the same experience every time you enter the jungle, and I tip my hat to how they approached that issue, but the fact is that packs like this I won't use all the time.

So overall, do I think it's worth it? I really think it depends on your playstyle. It doesn't really suit mine, but I'm still having a lot of fun playing around with it! So it is definitely an amazing pack, but whether you think it's worth it is up to you.
