Where do you take your Sims (except Newcrest)
Leaving your household for entertainment or other; to which world do you take your Sim(s) and why

Most of my Sims entertain themselves at home. If they go anywhere it's to the Romance Festival, Spice Festival and occasionally GeekCon. For the first two festivals, after they harvest the plants and do the Spicy challenge, they'll head over to one of the Karaoke bars to sing and have some drinks. I've had only one couple renew their vows at the Romance Festival, never get married there. At GeekCon they mostly go to use the Rocket ships, Observatory and computers, but not for the contest unless they have some programming skills.
Other than that, they mostly just go places to fulfil aspiration goals or fill needs as R2R Sims. For instance; the Willow Creek museum to view three paintings, then leave, the Library there to use computers when they're poor and collect stuff in the public areas, my remodeled Magnolia Blossom park and Oasis Springs park for fishing, collecting, etc., gyms from all the worlds to fill needs, Granite Falls, but usually not for vacation, just to get the mascot schematic from the statue, to collect bugs/plants, befriend the Hermit, buy Glow fruit from the kiosk and do a little fishing to fill that aspiration goal, Sylvan Glades and Forgotten Grotto for rare fish and Magnolia Promenade to get rare fish/collectibles from the fishing pier there.
Sometimes they'll visit Brindleton Bay to get fish they haven't caught yet from a vendor or go fishing at a certain spot on the island with the lighthouse where they can reliably get gold bars and valuable ambrosia treats. Sometimes they'll go to San Myshuno just to get produce from a vendor if they need a certain one out of season for grafting purposes, or go to the Casbah Gallery to use the instruments and woodworking table there, plus paint a mural.
My Sims never visit Selvadorado for just a vacation, they only go there to fulfil aspirations and they don't vacation in Sulani either, only live there. Sometimes they'll go to The Screaming Llama if invited or for a date. I like to send them there because of the Foosball and Don't Wake The Llama gaming tables. Can't remember the name of the cafe', Hedgehog maybe? But I do like to send them there on dates sometimes or the one club by the water on dates or if they're looking for a date. Why? They both have closets. :D It's extremely rare though for my Sims to go to these bars/cafes on a date. Most just find their mates walking by the house, in the park or sometimes at Festivals.
Sometimes they'll go to The Bluffs and Von Haunte Estate if invited for pop-up parties, but those kind of invites haven't been happening lately. Lastly, I have two Italian restaurants I downloaded from the Gallery and remodeled I will plop down somewhere if I want my Sims to collect the experimental recipes and photos. Occasionally, I'll put one in a world for a romantic date or family dinner, but that's rare.
My Sims just mostly live in all the other worlds and don't go there otherwise, except for what they were intended for; Britechester for Uni, the Magic Realm if they are Spellcasters, Forgotten Hollow to have Caleb (or Vlad) turn/train them and to harvest Plasma fruit, garlic, etc. Oh! They'll go to the Von Haunte estate sometimes to harvest from Mimsy's garden or get married too.
Clearly I need to place some more venues around my worlds for use other than fulfilling aspirations. I've never put down a Bowling Alley and haven't had a Spa anywhere in a long time for one thing. Or I should at least send my Sims more places just to have fun instead of making them grind for aspirations. Oh well, they have a lot of fun at home anyway. It's not all work, work, work. Seriously! :D
Happy Simming! <3
