Which The Sims game did vacations the best?

Since Island Paradise is missing, I chose Snowy Escape. But if Island Living also had water sports, water crafts and resorts, then vacations would be best in TS4 as we would have a hot destination, a cold destination, a jungle, a woodland world, and Batuu.

I think I have to go with Bon Voyage. I had fun having my SIMS chill. I don't feel like the WA worlds are a place to "family time". I instead send them to Island Paradiso or Hidden Springs as a family vacation.

Sims2 for sure. A vacation there, FELT like a vacation. The hotels worked, the npc clerks and attendants did their jobs well and the surroundings and scenery, activities like hula class, sunning on the beach, having room service, all felt like the kind of relaxing, hassle-free vacation I wish I could take.

Sure the graphics weren't as good as in sims3, but they were close enough, and the real feel of social interactions qnd activities more than made up for it. Sims3 is great but the sims by comparison are more puppetlike. Then there is sims4 where they really are just hand puppets.

Sims2 vacations made me feel like I had actually had one myself and enjoyed it.

The best is Sims 3. I say this due to the ability to build worlds and use NRAAS Traveller by Twallan to visit any of these worlds. I enjoy world building and have several worlds set up as vacation worlds. Without mods only Sims 2 had true vacation style, Sims 4 has been a bust all round for me and Snowy Escape was so promising but the last EP I bought for that game, that ended it for me. I do miss the Bon Voyage style of vacation play, I'd be over the moon if we had that, with the ability to build worlds and NRAAS Traveller, lol.

I always used WA for Honeymoons! I played my Erik Cantrell, (who first became a Superstar in Sims 3) and he and his bride (sorry, not Kayleigh at that time) got stuck there. Every time I tried to bring them home, the game would crash. I finally took my woes to the forums. Twallen, himself, answered my thread. For those of you unfamiliar, he was the King of Mods for Sims3. I had never used mods before. (This was the girl who was scared to death of Boolprop, mind you.) But, after reading up on his Traveler's Mod and how to install it, I got my Rock Star back! Phew. I ended up using about 20+ of his great mods. He's the one who started NRaas, Industries. (He retired and others took over that site and his mods to keep them maintained.) I needed many of those mods just to stabilize the game. I don't like having to choose which packs to leave out. It's not my fault EA packed too much into what has to be a very unstable platform to begin with. I have a love/hate relationship with Sims3, you may have noticed. :)

World Adventures is one of my favorite expansion packs ever - there's just so much you can do, and it takes forever to complete all of it. The complexity of those tombs! The artifacts! the markets, the mummies, it's really really fun to play, and it makes me a bit disappointed by the holiday packs in TS4 - they just don't live up.
