I don't know its kind of like this vs that thing
and then these are obvious minus points in terms of knowing all these packs exist
sooo after typing all of this down... to sum up
I do think I must go with Bon Voyage cause its just like good mid spot to refer to
though i do think ts3 tombs, egypt and martial arts were super cool its just more adventure less vacation
and I also think ts4 worlds are pretty lit but its just really kinda lacking in activity culture side for me and i need more packs than 1 to really feel vacation in ts4

Vacation special points:
•Picnic and bear rug + the romantic interactions on them
•fun text stuff
• Accurate log cabin vibe
• Volley Ball!
•igloos
•souvenirs
•special npc
(to note this is ts1 so obviously just having the worlds with themed stuff was considered cool)
Bon Voyage special points:
•cultural interactions like greetings, songs, tales,learning local dances(hula,slap dance and fire dance which all must be learnt separately from sim doing them).. basically more about exploring the culture and interacting wit locals
• secret lots
•bigfoot
• souvenirs return and can yes only be bought at vacation destinations
• new special npc that has more interaction than vacation ones
•hammocks and sauna have arrived (i dont think ts1 had em)
• new activity items such as:
zen garden
tea table
pirate ship
mahjong table
log rolling
axe throwing
+ searching for treasure
+ text adventures
+ specific npc fun
+mementos that are basically vacation memories you gain from doing vacation things
+ i think ts2 hotels are the best
World Adventure special points:
•Tombs have arrived
Traps, Mummies, Treasure Chests, Digging, helpful camping gear
• nectar making
•snake charming
•quests to gain visa points
•some slight cultural stuff (i don't think its to same level with ts2 tbh)
•martial arts
•desert world with pyramids (ts1-2 have beach instead for sand)
Jungle adventure special points
•Skeletons
•Archeology is a skill of its own
• Rumbasim (though sadly its a part of overall culture skill rather than skill of its own to learn)
•speaking of which the culture skill that includes tales and makes exploring easier
• new types of traps
•bug related dangers
•new culture to sims
•is a jungle we didn't have jungle before
Snowy escape special points:
•better snow sports than earlier games (though i do feel snowboarding is a choice because of different approach some may like to have item for it instead like in earlier games)
•rock climbing
•mountain excursion
•hikes
• festivals
•hotpot
•nature dangers
+world can be used as normal non vacation world

TS4:
- not all locations are in game and they come separately so its way more expensive to have it all
- no hotels yet
- no hammocks yet
Snowy escape:
- missing the tea table and zen garden and martial arts and cultural dance and souvenirs and npcs and...
- basically has no indoor activity beyond eating and looking at pretty furniture
(unless you have more packs like spa day which yes go with it but again,separate pack)
jungle adventure:
- again missing activities you could do without going to dangerous jungle but hey at least theres the culture skill and food
- doesn't have tent cause thats again another pack and theres nowhere to snooze in the jungle unless you have the other pack
- no fun npc here either tho i guess skeletons are kinda fun and probably were made in the spot of that
- does worse at temple adventure aspect than world adventures tbh as the puzzles are not as complex and you only have like couple temples
World adventures
- misses out on activities to do beyond tomb stuff like sure theres martial arts and nectar but what else its just collecting stuff which kinda ties with the tombs anyway so if you're looking for culture travel no errands just relax and fun its bit meh
- worlds have real world names i don't like that :< id rather have made up worlds
- can't recall any fun npc
- cannot live in those worlds its only vacation
- has no beach tho i kinda prefer desert as vacation cause beach theme has its own ep afterwards
Bon Voyage
-worlds are only vacation yeah
- missing the tomb element kinda like theres those treasure hunting places but like its all really similar tho
- beach no longer includes volley ball :< even if i loved swimming in the sea and such which was all brand new vibe with ts2
Vacations
-being first in series it really doesn't have any new fabulous things and its less about adventure and culture and more about just relax and vibe aspect
-sims needs go too quick to really get to do much anyway <:D
-it just feels weird to trash ts1 tbh cause like they didnt know of better so i forgive the faults too easily
