The game was officially announced on August 3, 2009 at a press release for [[Electronic Arts]]. Information about the game appeared on both ''The Sims 2'' and ''The Sims 3'' websites after this. The iPhone, iPod Touch and iPad versions were released on April 2, 2010.

The game is reminiscent of previous expansion packs ''[[The Sims: Vacation]]'' and ''[[The Sims 2: Bon Voyage]]'' as players can take their Sims away to vacation destinations. Like the previous two games mentioned, Sims once again have the choice of partaking in three different forms of vacations but in a first for the series, the new vacation destinations are based on real World locations. Sims are able to vacation in new locations: [[Shang Simla]], [[Champs Les Sims]] and [[Al Simhara]]. These new locations are the same size as the neighborhoods of [[Sunset Valley]] and [[Riverview]], and parody the countries of China, France and Egypt respectively. Also, contrary to common knowledge, police are active in World Adventures, when Sims get robbed in purchased locales, they can call police, and they come automatically when a [[burglar alarm]] goes off. There is no difference between normal Sim police and World Police.
