What Worlds Are You Adding Vacation Homes in ?

Island
Windenburg
Brindleton Bay
Strangerville
Del Sol Valley

I'm turning Admiral's Wreckage in Sulani into an off-the-grid sort of "eco-retreat" for families that want to rough it for a few days while enjoying the beach life. And one of the smaller houses will be a honeymoon retreat; I've already placed one of the Destination Wedding entries on the other 50x50 lot.

San Myshuno I've got the Fountainview Penthouse in the Arts Quarter as a studio getaway for a couple, and The Old Salt House for families; will be convenient for enjoying the various festivals in town.

And in Brindleton Bay I've evicted the Lynx household so I can use that house as a rental. I actually found a remodel done by Lilsimsie that adds an extra bedroom so I could take a small family.

I'll have to check whatever rentals are available in Mt. Komorebi to see if I'd rather make them permanent residentials and if they need any upgrading. Will probably at least add thermostats to all the buildings up on the mountain. B)

My favorite world is Midnight Hollow and since I got it I have been trying to figure out what to do with the Garliclauter place as the one obvious human designated home. I have three regular vampire families, their homes, and a supernatural targeted restaurant I place every new game and Garliclauter is the only thing vacant. I even once created a modified version for a spell caster family, but I had to take a break after the build and forgot the family idea I had so that idea was trashed.

Now, though, I am thinking a horror movie esque rental. That would be pretty hilarious, in my opinion. Plus no one would want to stay after experiencing the movie Nosferatu in person.

Make sure to add the Vampire Nexus lot trait, and that'll attract all the vampires to that lot >:)

What is the point of having a vacation spot if you can just go there, It's not like living anywhere, really, has any special benefits unless you are a merfolk.

I can agree with that. It the same with most venue types. Why put a new bar/gym/spa/etc in the new world when you can just free visit any of the others in any world? The only real reason is story telling and to build emersion.

Sulani is an island world that looks to be mile and mile away from the rest of the sims worlds yet you can visit the beaches there like nothing. With retal lots you can pretend that Sulani is so far your sims can't just take a day trip there.

Speaking of emersion, I kinda wish there as an option to lock sims to their respective world since it kinda shocking at time to see sims from Windenburg (Europe) in Sulani (Polynesia islands) then see them in Brindleton Bay (American East Coast)

I do agree lol but what I'm going too do, if my sims are staying at a vacation home in sulani for example, my sims wont be travelling too all the other worlds, they are only visiting lots in sulani, same with the new world if my sims dont live there, they wont be travelling there unless they rent a vacation home, ideally yes I would of love just picking my residential and vacation worlds and that's it, sulani would of been a proper vacation world and soo would of been the new world, however this is what we got ? @ArcherDK

I think I will make some vacation houses first in Sulani
probably St.Taz part cause I never really built anything much there
and it seems like good place for some beach houses and houseboats and yachts and that stuff

and camping rental in that strangerville lot with trailers around it seems like destined to be

and probably at least one penthouse rental for san myshuno

maybe one or 2 rental for the university world too just for idk? i just don't really know what to do with those lots cause I don't want my sims living there so much

not sure about rest of the worlds yet though because I have sort of world rebuilding going on

I have planned to put old style inn for windenburg and fancy hotel for magnolia
but I will need hotel lot type or something to really use those as lodging cause idk too empty if its just my sims
( restaurant bar or spa or something until that)

but i might also add rental houses somewhere with windenburg because there is so many lots

brindleton, willow creek or newcrest doesn't really feel like vacation to me atm at least so probably not in those
del sol I don't really think i have room unless I put one for the mansion area maybe
oasis springs maybe but idk yet where
not sure about what i do with glimmerbrook in general so no comment

forgotten hollow is usually where my sims live so i don't think i will be using those lots for vacations either but who knows

I've never wanted my Sims to live in Forgotten Hollow but a vacation stay in a haunted mansion is a definite yes for me. Last time I visited the bar there Vlad came in and I also saw him jogging around the streets in his pyjamas.

For now, def Sulani. But i'll try them all and see how it goes :)

Sulani of course for summer vacations!

Brindleton Bay I’m thinking of adding a bed and breakfast kind of resort..

Forgotten Hollow I’m thinking of adding a creepy runned down motel.

I haven’t thought of many ideas for other worlds though I will probably add at least one resort in each.

I posted some ideas in another thread and I thought of one more last night!

Del Sol Valley - I had an astronaut living in the Mirage Park area but he moved and left behind a fully upgraded rocket. Other sims can use his old house as a rental and travel to Sixam.

Sulani honeymoon spots - I really like the peninsula near the little islands. I also want to put one near the volcano because of the waterfall.

Sulani family vacation spot - right on the beach near the fishing dock. I want to catch the events that go on in town there.

San Myshuno - Maybe I will change the lot with the pool, the one with the romantic aura. I could keep the pool and make it feel like they’re using a penthouse at a hotel.

Britechester - I have some houses I use for the students there. I can make a rental nearby for the more clingy parents to come visit.

Brindleton Bay - There are definitely a few lots in the woods that I’ve never used and this would be a peaceful getaway, especially for my family in Del Sol Valley with a dog who likes to hunt.

I definitely want to set something up in StrangerVille as well. I already have Flaming Gnome in Oasis Springs that’s like a Burning Man festival.

Vacation activity suggestion - I want to get more of my sims the ability to teleport. Some of them can be rock climbers but some others are just going to teleport the climb!
