• 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!
