Vacation rental ideas in residential worlds

I built vacation homes in neighbourhoods where sims can do things they can't usually do elsewhere, such as swimming and diving in the ocean, digging for ancient artefacts, or winter sports. I was planning on using them while playing as sims who, for example, want to take some time to solve the StrangerVille mystery without being disturbed by work or their own needs. In practice, however, I don't use them at all. I usually have a sim travel to a public lot with sanitary equipment and they bring their own tents to sleep.

If you don't have any pack that comes with tents, however (Outdoor Retreat and Snowy Escape, I believe), then yeah, building a place for sims to stay the night is probably worth considering. And setting it as a vacation destination should help against mosquito townies invading your personal space. (Except if you're playing in Mount Komorebi, that is. Home invasions seem to be a cultural practice there.)
