The default lots are:
* Winter - [[Al Pine's Winter Wonderland]], [[Penguin Acres Campground]], [[Alpine Preserve]]
* Forest - [[Bear Essentials Lodge]], [[Ranger's Ranch Campground]], [[Wren's Fens National Park]]
* Beach - [[Palazzo Palms Hotel]], [[Sunset Beach]], [[Reclaimed Public Beach]]
==Differences from other community areas==
* Sims can sleep if they rent an [[igloo]] or [[tent]], or check in at a hotel desk and get a key.
* Players can save, at least if the Sims are on a family vacation.
* The [[townies]], often called vacationers or tourists, are organized into families with real last names. Instead of coming and going at random, they arrive in the morning and leave at night.
* There are [[child]] townies, since vacationer families generally have
* The townies are automatically flagged as greeted when they appear on the lot.
* Some lots have a maid as well as a [[NPC|janitor]].
==Dressing for the climate==

==Motives==
===Hunger===
* [[Buffet table]]s: All of the resort lots, as well as Sunset Beach, have buffet tables. The buffet tables are always stocked and serve salads and desserts as well as regular meals. You can control which type of meal a Sim gets by clicking on different areas of the table; click on the left for a salad, on the right for a dessert, and in the center for a regular meal. If the Sims visit the buffet table on their own, which type of meal they get is determined at random. Since each visit to the buffet table costs §25 regardless of what the Sim gets from it, eating from the buffet table is expensive. Budget-conscious players may not want to let vacationing Sims visit the buffet table whenever they want. If a Sim eats from a buffet table while their [[Hygiene]] is low, they will be infected by [[Illness#Montezuma's Revenge|Montezuma's Revenge]], a form of food poisoning. The disease is not deadly, but it will cause the [[Bladder]] motive to decay more quickly, causing a great discomfort to a Sim. The disease will go away by itself after a period of time, but try to keep the Sim's Bladder motive up.▼
* Grilling: All the default lots except Al Pine's, the Palazzo Palms, and Sunset Beach have [[Barbecue#The Sims|grills]]. A Sim can grill six burgers for §20, and the griller uses his/her cooking skill. Therefore, this is a good deal if any adult family member has at least four or five Cooking points. A plate of burgers may be good for a couple of meals, but taking advantage of this requires deliberate action by the player. Sims can be directed to get burgers from a partially-eaten plate, but will not do this autonomously. The Vacationers may decide to grill on their own. The playable Sims will be charged for this unless the Vacationer is using a downloaded grill which has been fixed to prevent this. However, the playable Sims can be directed to eat those burgers, so it's not a total loss.▼

* Have a picnic: If there's a rental booth on the lot, Sims can rent a picnic basket and blanket for §99.▼

* Food carts: Penguin Acres, Sunset Beach, and the Reclaimed Public Beach all have hot dog carts. A hot dog costs §15, and doesn't satisfy hunger very well, though it's better than nothing. For a Sim who's not very hungry, a hot dog from a cart can be a good, quick snack; but in the long run, food carts aren't a very good way to keep a Sim fed.▼

* Abandoned plates: A Vacationer may abandon a plate of food in order to be Talked To by [[Vacation Director Kana]]. They won't go back to it, and if it's on a table, the cleaning staff will leave it there until it spoils. While Sims won't decide to eat abandoned food on their own, they will eat it if directed to do so.▼
