'''Vacation Island''' is an area in [[SimNation]] that was added in ''[[The Sims: Vacation]]''. [[Sim]]s can go there on a family [[Vacationing#The Sims: Vacation|vacation]], or a [[Sim]] can take a date to the Island. Either way, the round trip costs [[simoleons|§]]500.
 
The island is divided into three areas, each of which has a different environment. While ''[[The Sims]]'' does not have seasons, this loosely reflects them. While some of the island's activities are available in two or three areas, each area offers special activities that are exclusive to it. The areas are: a snowy winter area, a forest area, and a [[beach]] area. By default, each area has a resort lot, a campground, and a "bare-bones" lot. Resort lots will have rooms or cabins with beds and bathrooms, and an area near the entrance which contains a buffet table and a hotel desk where [[Sim]]s can check in and get hotel keys - which will allow them to sleep in the beds. At least some of the rooms will have dressers. In addition to the bathrooms, they'll also have either toilet stalls or porta-potties. Campground lots will have [[tent]]s or [[igloo]]s that Sims can rent. They'll have showers, and will have either toilet stalls or porta-potties. They will also have either changing booths or changing tents. A "bare-bones" lot will have porta-potties, may have showers, may have changing booths or changing tents, and may have one or two tents or igloos. A "bare-bones" will have a rental shack, but will otherwise have fewer activities than other lots in its area.
 
The default lots are:

==Keys==
When an adult Sim checks in at a hotel desk, the family is charged §40 for each human member, and each one receives a key. The key is good anywhere on the island, and allows the holder to sleep in any bed in any room. However, a key does not entitle a Sim to sleep in an igloo or tent - they have to be rented separately. If there are television sets on the lot, only Sims with keys will be able to turn them on and off, or to change channels -, though any Sim will be able to watch a set that's on. Other island facilities don't appear to require keys.
 
Checkout time is 11 AM, and the family will be charged for another day if they miss it. While the normal policy on Vacation Island is that pets stay free, except for the cost of their food, the automatic billing routine will occasionally slip and charge for a dog or cat.

===Fun===
Most lots have activities that Sims can do for fun, though some have more than others, and some do not have anymany atthat do not depend on a rental allshack. Many lots have [[Souvenir#Carnival Games|carnival games]] that Sims can play for tickets. Some have [[pinball machine]]s or [[arcade game]]s. Outside of the winter area, some lots have [[volleyball courtscourt]]s. Some have [[hot tub]]s or [[Bar (object)|a bar]], and the [[Palazzo Palms Hotel]] has [[television]]. Some lots have rockers that kids can ride.
 
Lots will usually have activities related to the theme of their area of Vacation Island. These activities depend on specific objects being present, and not all lots will have the same activities. Check a lot's article to see what fun activities are available there.

====Forest area====
Fishing piers and archery ranges are most common in this area, though they are not limited to it. Water balloon forts appear to be limited to this area. [[Wren's Fens National Park]] is the only lot in this area that does not have these activities. All forest lots have a campfire.
 
====Beach Area====
Line 82:
 
Pets can cause problems when [[Vacation Director Kana]] is about to give a Sim a Vacation Award. All Sims from the family will cheer for this, but since pets cannot cheer, the interaction may be canceled.
 
==Trivia==
* Vacation Island is the first world to have weather without the need of a seasonal-based expansion pack, the second being [[Mt. Komorebi]]. This excludes [[Riverblossom Hills]], which came with ''[[The Sims 2: Seasons]]'', which ultimately gave the player weather.
* Vacation Island is the only vacation world to allow sims to stay indefinitely, meaning sims can stay as long as they want without a time limit provided they have the money.
