I waited like four (or more) months to get Lovestruck because I didn't want the gameplay (and I still wish there was a toggle for Romantic Satisfaction...) so I didn't pick it up until it was on 50% off sale.
With Adventure Awaits, I don't actually plan on having my main sims actually run anything. What I do plan to do is to set up various custom venues for my sims to eventually visit - bed and breakfasts and faux hotels in assorted vacation worlds, some "All Ages" nightclubs (so my teens can go to a Nightclub and not be the only ones that age there) and maybe other variations on basic lots, such as a science museum, or a Pizzaria Bowling alley, or a Water Park. I'll probably set up a couple of non-standard getaways too (I'm thinking an Archeologist's camp in Selvadorada, a Writer's Retreat on the Hound's Head in Brindleton Bay, and maybe a Scout Camp in Granite Falls) depending on what I can do with the pack.
But about the only "getaway" I ever plan to have my sims in charge of might be calling all the grandkids over.
