==Vacation Destination==

{{See also|Takemizu Village|Twikkii Island|Three Lakes}}

 

==Game Features==

As a way to stay away from everyday routine, Sims can now have a vacation by booking one via [[phone]] or [[computer]]. Traveling to vacation landmarks, relaxing, and experiencing things that normally cannot be found in the everyday life is what vacationing is all about. Sims can go to a vacation trip alone or bringing families and friends along. Going on vacation doesn't require any days off from work, because while being on vacation, ages and time continuity stop, so Sims that leave for a vacation at Tuesday noon will return at the same time they left. This mechanism is similar to when Sims travel to [[community lot]]s. Vacation trips, however, have a maximum of 7 days, and if the vacation time is over for several days, Sims will be forced to go home. This means they can't stay forever at the Vacation Destination. Only Sims older than [[toddler]] and non-pets can go on vacation, so [[Baby|babies]], toddlers, and [[pet]]s must stay at home with a remaining household member or a [[nanny]].

 

 

===Vacation Accommodations===

Sims need to stay somewhere while on vacation. There are three types of accommodation where Sims can stay: Vacation Homes, [[Hotel]]s, or Campgrounds. Each of the accommodations has its own advantages and disadvantages. Vacation Homes can be purchased from real estate, but they are very expensive; costing the same as regular houses. It is, however, fully customizable just like normal [[residential lot]]s.

 

 

Campgrounds are free, and the only premade Campground is [[Axe Wood Campgrounds]]. Sims sleep in tents that replenish [[Energy]] [[need]] slowly. Campgrounds don't have cleaning service, so Sims must clean up the mess themselves or [[influence]] others to do so. Campgrounds and tents are also vulnerable to outdoor [[temperature]]. Thus, staying in the Campground in extreme temperature or on [[Winter]] is difficult for Sims. Campgrounds can provide some campfires to keep Sims warm by sitting around one.

 

===Collectibles===

 

Other than items, Sims can learn many things from the vacation. Sims might learn how to bow on Far East or other [[gesture]]s from other vacations. They might also happen to learn some local [[dance]]s and [[Tai Chi]]. Getting and learning local [[massage]]s and eating local delicacies as well, as activities to spend on vacation. Sims might also encounter someone special who can teach them how to sing Sea Chantey or tell the Dragon Legend to friends. There are so many things they can discover and share with friends back home after going back from vacations.
