Yeah ok I finally went on a climbing excursion and it all went by pretty quickly, without a hitch and there wasn't that much to do or see. It was beautiful and it made for some really nice screenshots, but I feel like the trail in Selvadorada was equally as beautiful yet more interesting. At the very least, in the jungle my sims get more moodlets from getting attacked by creatures, you get those chance cards, a detour or two, and there are those small (albeit mostly inconsequential) puzzles in the temple.
I agree with everyone who said it should have been a game pack, and to be honest, when thinking of this theme, I always figured it would be.
I was most excited for the mountain excursion and the hiking. I like how the excursion is an event and a group one at that, because an issue I had with JA was how tiresome it was to bring more than one sim, but the mountain overall is not nearly as replayable as the jungle. And I think hiking at least should have been expanded to all worlds, like just to be able to make my sims go for a walk together around their neighborhood.
Sooo that's me, most disappointed about the mountain excursion. I'm not too interested in the snow sports, but I'll probably use them someday for a story or another. I like the world, though it probably won't be one of my most played ones.
Oh, and the female-styled CAS items. I LOVE the hairs, but the clothes are too old, rich lady lol. The male-styled clothing I loooove, however.
