The Sims 2: Bon Voyage: Difference between revisions

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. Meaning, whenso Sims travelthat onleave for a vacation onat Tuesday noon, they will bereturn backat homethe bysame Tuesdaytime noonthey tooleft. This mechanism is similar to when Sims travel to [[community lot]]s. Vacation trips, however, have limiteda timemaximum 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. Sims can stay with the maximum of 7 days on vacation. Only Sims older than [[toddler]] and non-pets can go on vacation, so [[Baby|babies]], toddlers, and [[Pet|pets]] must stay at home with a remaining household member or a [[nanny]].

While on a vacation, the main attraction is to travel to community lots and spend as much time as possible there, because Sims shouldn't waste their precious time at hometheir lodging. The time continuity works differently from going to community lots in the Base Neighborhood. Time and hours will keep going when Sims leave house and when they're back home. This is similar to the time mechanics in [[College]]s. The difference is, they can't learn [[skill]]s, gain [[enthusiasm]]{{Vgversion|TS2:FT}}, or build [[talent badge]]s. Also, [[Lifetime Aspiration]] will not be accumulated so Sims cannot exploit of the extra days they get from going on vacations. Sims also gain temporary [[Vacation benefit|Vacation Benefits]] after they return from a good vacation, or instead, penalties if the vacation was bad.
