The Sims: Vacation

The Sims: Vacation (released as The Sims: On Holiday in the UK) is the fourth expansion pack for The Sims. The game associates the Vacation Island sub-neighborhood with the pre-existing base neighborhoods. It was released on March 25, 2002 worldwide. To date, it is the only expansion pack from the original game to have been re-made for both sequels, in the form of The Sims 2: Bon Voyage (September 2007) and The Sims 3: World Adventures (November 2009).

 * New type of townie: Families of "vacationers" or "tourists" can be encountered on Vacation Island. Uniquely amongst the townies in The Sims, they have random last names (as opposed to a generic one that puns on their function within the game), some nominal familial relationships, and can be children as well as adult Sims. Tourists families usually consist of 3 to 4 Sims, with at least one adult and one child in every party. Sometimes a tourist family will consist of just two Sims - a single parent and an only child - although this is rare.

Other New Features

 * New interactions: Play fishing, archery, snowboarding and beach volleyball while on vacation/holiday!
