vacation worlds are boring to me

Whenever my Sims go on vacation I rarely have them use the lots as such, I just let them explore the surroundings. Selvadorada is obviously far more interesting than Granite Falls, but I do like gathering all the herbs and insects - I also know exactly how to get to the hermit's house.

Nevertheless, I have completely made over both vacation worlds (as well as the three smaller non-vacation worlds).

For Granite Falls I added a restaurant and a spa (clothing optional) and I gave the national forest a makeover to a nature education centre that has more stuff for kids to do.

For Selvadorada I rebuilt everything. The museum is now a proper museum with Omiscan artifacts and relics on display. I turned the cantina into a mini village with a bar/hotel, a "souvenir" shop and the headquarters of the archaeological society - makes it a versatile location for storytelling. Besides new rentals I also made a replacement for the Omiscan Royal Baths (one of the hidden lots in the jungle), so that Sims can stay there longer without needing camping equipment. The trailhead park I changed into an overgrown temple ruin, it's not much different, but has a slightly different atmosphere (and is a little more sheltered from the rain).

I did change my gallery/username since make the above lots/pictures, but it should still be easy to find.
