Igloo
- See also: Tent
| ||||||||||||||
Introduced in The Sims: Vacation, igloos are one of the lodging options available on Vacation Island. In the default lots, igloos will be found in the snowy area.
Igloos rent for 79 simoleons a night, and two Sims can sleep in one. When Sims who are sleeping in an igloo wake up, they automatically change into the appropriate clothing for the area of Vacation Island they're in. Just having a hotel key doesn't allow Sims to use igloos, but Sims that have hotel keys can rent them. While Rental Shack Zack talks of "checking out" when an igloo is rented, what appears to happen is that the rental expires at 11:00 AM.
Indigenous arctic peoples intuitively know how to create shelter in unforgiving environments. Hours of painstaking and skillful labor are needed to cut ice blocks, stack them, and balance them so they don't cave in. But who has time for authenticity these days? Camp site renters won't know the difference if you just install one of these pre-builts from Alaskan NatiVestments Inc. All the ice...but half the price!
