Tell me about Vacations
I don't own any of the vacation worlds, therefore my Sims cannot go on vacations. I'm considering buying a pack, though. In Sims 3, I went on World Adventures as often as I could because the quests we...

So tell me about vacations in Sims 4. Are they great? What's your favorite? How often do you use the vacation feature? If you have more than one, what's your favorite/least favorite? If you played Sims 3, tell me how it compares.
I enjoy vacations. I use the feature regularly and frankly would like more options so that vacationing can be less repetitive. Jungle Adventure has more to do and more culture so given a choice, it's a good one. Outdoor Retreat does need more activities. I've sent some families camping and staying in cabins there though. One time recently, I sent sims in the spring who were from Sulani and the weather just rained for days. I actually canceled the vacation because there wasn't enough to do indoors with constant rain. I don't have Journey to Batuu which is a vacation to outer space.
I played Sims 3 World Adventures a long time ago. I liked it but it also crashed for me a lot. I liked having 3 worlds in 1 pack but I generally like Sims 4 worlds.
When Sims are on vacation, are they excused from work? Does it cost money? If you extend your vacation do you still have to leave for the office every day? I just keep finding more questions to ask.
If your sims work or are in school, they use their vacation leave so there's a limit if you want them to keep their jobs or grades up. You can also choose how many days they go so it's possible to go for just a weekend or a few days. You can extend the vacation but per above, you'll want to make sure they have enough leave for it if they work or study. From what I recall, you used to have to call into work or school but now the days are subtracted automatically.
