The Sims 2: Bon Voyage[1] (Sometimes spelled as The Sims 2: Bon Voyage, TS2 BV or simply Bon Voyage) is the sixth expansion pack, released for The Sims 2 in 2007. It was released on September 4, 2007 in North America and September 6, 2007 in Europe for the Microsoft Windows Operating System. For the Mac OS X Operating System, it was released on December 17, 2007 by Aspyr Media. Like the Vacation expansion pack for The Sims, it focuses on leisure traveling. This game served as the inspiration for its successor, The Sims 3: World Adventures.

Description

Whisk Sims away from their everyday routines and take them on exciting trips to three exotic locations! Whether relaxing on a lush tropical island in a luxury suite, camping with the family on a pristine mountaintop, or exploring the culture of the Far East, Sims will engage in new activities and experiences as they relax and rejuvenate. Transform them from bumbling tourists to savvy international travelers as they learn new customs including local greetings, dances and more to take home and teach to their friends. Send Sims packing for the trip of a lifetime!

Vacation Destination

See also: Takemizu Village, Twikkii Island, and Three Lakes

The Sims 2: Bon Voyage features Vacation Destination, a new Sub-Neighborhood where Sims will visit to spend their vacation. There are three types of vacation destination, i.e. Far East, Tropical, and Mountain. Each destination has special attributes and its own attractions. These include the environment, locals, tours, and so on. Some special features can only be found in certain Vacation Destination, such as Ninjas that can be found in Far East and Beach, as the main attraction of Tropical vacation.

New Features

Bigfoot

Main article: Bigfoot

The new life state introduced in the Expansion Pack is Bigfoot. Bigfoot lives in the Hidden Burrow, a secret lot located in Three Lakes. Sims must have a secret map to find the Hidden Burrow and Bigfoot. A Bigfoot can be made playable by befriending them and proposing them to move in. Then, another Bigfoot will take over the Hidden Burrow. Bigfoots have already mastered all skills and talent badges. They can't do any romantic interactions, so Bigfoots cannot have Romance, Family, or Pleasure Aspirations.

New Additions

Minor Features

  • Tree leaves will fall on Autumn and needs to be raked. Conifers and cacti won't have falling leaves.
  • Set hairstyle per outfit[3]. Sims can now set different hairstyles each for everyday outfit through winterwear.
  • Pets don't have internal temperature.
  • Stackable inventory[3]. Inventory no longer needs to be scrolled all the way back just to find an apple. With this, same objects will be stacked in the inventory to save the space.
  • Pool water reflects and moves.[2]

New Build Mode Additions

  • Roof

Roof is now a crucial element as part of weather and climate changes. From now, "Indoor Space" is defined not only a room covered by walls, but there also must be roof. Being in a closed indoor will keep Sims away from cold temperature. Roof keeps the elements out, so rain and snow won't get inside house.

  • Roof Objects[3]

Any one-tile objects can now be placed on the roof. Anything; sculptures, chairs, flamingos, end tables, and even arcade machines. With this, decorative roof objects such as weather vane, lightning rod, and solar screen[TS2:MGS] can make a nice additions to the roof.
