Vacation Island: Difference between revisions

==Motives==

===Hunger===

*Buffet tables: 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.

*Grilling: All the default lots except Al Pine's, the Palazzo Palms, and Sunset Beach have 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 your Sims won't go back to a plate unless you tell them to. The Vacationers may decide to grill on their own. Your Sims will get charged unless you use download a grill which has been fixed to prevent this. However, your Sims can eat those burgers if you direct them to, 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 your Sims won't decide to eat abandoned food on their own, they will eat it if you direct them to do so.
