Vacationing

This article is about Vacations in The Sims Vacation and The Sims 2 Bon Voyage.

The Sims Vacation
In The Sims, click on the telephone and click 'Call Cab' - 'Vacation Island'. A window will appear saying you want to go or not. Click 'Ok' and not long, a jeep with some traveling stuff tied on it's roof will come to pick you up. Then you choose which lot do yo want to go in Vacation Island. Then you have to check in to the front desk to enjoy all of it's facilities. When you want to leave, check out, and call the cab from the telephone.

The Sims 2 : Bon Voyage
Here are a few things to do to have a vacation in Bon Voyage.

Booking a Vacation
Use the Phone to book a vacation. Choose when your Sims leave, who they are taking with them, how long they will stay and where they are going. The further in advance you book your vacation the cheaper it will be.

A shuttle will come to your house and take you to the airport on the appointed day at 9 am.

Hotels
A Hotel is a hybrid of a community lot and residential lot. It gives controllable Sims a place to rest and rejuvenate before going off to explore. Hotel costs are separate from the original booking cost.

Players can put hotels in the base neighborhood, and sims can go there by choosing to go to a 'community lot'. It will appear in the list when it asks where you want to go. You can stay as long as you want, and the basics are the same as in the vacation hotels.

Vacation Homes
Instead of staying at a hotel your Sims can stay at their own Vacation Home.

Buying a Vacation Home
Vacation homes can be bought via the phone. The deed is then placed in your Sim's inventory.

Exploring
Once you've arrived it's time to start exploring. Talk to the Tour Guide to take a tour, call a cab or use the interaction "Walk to Lot" to explore the community lots. To go to a secret location make sure to have the Sim with the map selected.

Ending a Vacation
You can end a vacation early with the telephone booth. A shuttle will come to take you to the airport.
