Sounding like Island Living is a Vacation Pack?

this is NOT a vaction pack since you can LIVE in the world-you couldn't do that with the "Bon Voyage" in the Sims 2 or the "Vaction EP" of the Sims 1. You couldn't do it in World Adventures (which wasn't really a vaction EP) with the Sims 3.

Of course WA was a vacation pack, just not focused on leisuring. I wonder, does the fact it’s not a vacation world mean that your sim has to go home every night? Or can you spend the night there in some way? I’d prefer the latter myself. A hotel, a tent, is that possible?

Sorry but a "Vaction Pack" would have been more in line of Sims 1 "Vaction" or Sims 2 "Bon Voyage" it's like comparing two apples to a banana.


let us look at the trailer for sims 1 and 2 Vaction EP vs. Sims 3 World Adventures
Sims 1:

Sims 3:

the Sims 3 is more of an Indian Jones EP then a real "vacation" EP.

Only if one wanted it to be, I used WA as an vacation spot even if it was an adventure EP, different strokes for different folks. I am assuming IL can also be used as an vacation or living spot it is just how one pulls it off.

not really- unless you wanted to make nectar or explore a museum-the only thinks you could do only once was the adventures- I mean there was NOTHING for kids or toddlers to do at all in World Adventure at least the kids could do something in the Sims 1 vaction and there were actitives for both toddlers AND kids in Sims 2 EP

I never took toddlers or children with my sims when they went to the spots in WA. I liked the vacation packs in Sims 2 and never played it in Sims 1 as my play with Sims 1 was real short as I played Sims 2 when I first loaded it up and never went back to Sims 1. However, thinking about it WA was not the pack to bring toddlers or kids to Vacay but it would work for adults. IP would have been great if the devs took the time to tweak the pack back then as it was more of an devloper issue for me.

look under Sims 3 section people complained that unless your sim was a Indian Jones or a Laura Croft type there was like next for nothing for families to do vs. the two real Vaction EPs did give your sims something to do as a FAMILY-I haven't played Jungle Adventure much-so far but it has better options for a family- then World Adventure ever did.
