===Going on Vacation===
{{Main|Vacationing}}
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 day off from [[Career|job]], because while being on vacation, ages and time continuity stop. Meaning, when Sims travel on vacation on Tuesday noon, they will be back home by Tuesday noon too. This mechanism is similar to when Sims travel to [[community lot]]s. Vacation trips, however, have limited time, and 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 home. 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.

===Collectibles===
Sims can earn and collect many [[souvenir]]s and other abilities they've learned while on vacation. Sims can collect souvenirs bought from certain Vacation Destination or [[digging|dig out]] beach collectibles and place them on a special rack to show off their friends about. Collecting five of each souvenirs will also benefit Sims depending on the type of the souvenirs. Sims may also dig the ground to find some treasuries, cheap stuff, or even leak the water main underground. Plundering the [[pirate ship]] might also grant Sims some pirate treasures.
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 [[message]]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.
===Secret Vacation Lots===
Each pre-made Vacation Destination is provided with a [[Secret lot#The Sims 2: Bon Voyage|secret vacation lot]]. Each lot offers distinct benefits that Sims might learn or earn. Before discovering the secret vacation lots, Sims must first find the hidden maps throughout the vacation areas. They might find them while on [[tour]]s, [[digging]] the ground, or wishing from shrine.
===Beach===
''Bon Voyage'' now adds functional beach as a new lot system to ''The Sims 2'' game. In addition to normal lots, beach lots can only be placed on an area which is adjacent to road and waters. Beach lots can be used as a [[residential lot]], [[community lot]], or [[hotel]]. [[Apartment]]{{Vgversion|TS2:AL}}, however, is not recommended to be built on uneven lots, most especially beach lots. Sims can do many beach-related activities on the beach lot. They can sunbathe, swim on the ocean, build a sandcastle, dig on sand, and watch the waves. Some objects cannot be placed on the "beach line", a line which separates areas whether sandcastles can be built or not. [[Pirate ship]] can only be placed on beach lots, as well.
Not all terrains in ''The Sims 2'' provide sufficient area to place the beach lot, though. Some terrains might be even not close enough to the waters. Only some pre-made terrains that are included since ''Bon Voyage'' might suit with beach lot area. These include [[Twikkii Islands]], [[Bluewater Village]], [[Desiderata Valley]], [[Belladonna Cove]], Crescent Island, and Moon Islands.
===Jewelry===
A new enhancement on Sims' beauty is the addition of [[Jewelry|jewelries]].
