This looks like such a cool game! I have always wanted a way for my sims to go on vacation and now it's possible!
You can go hunting, buy souviners and go fishing, and snowboarding and other cool things! I can't wait till it comes out.

I love this game (the sims)

"The Sims Hot Date allowed you to take an individual Sim out of the house and on a downtown rendezvous," said Tim LeTourneau, Producer at EA's Maxis™ studio. "With The Sims Vacation, you can take your whole Sim household to a fabulous island for a Sims-style holiday."
Your sims are tired, they have been partying with The Sims House Party, and have been out dating with The Sims Hot Date. They need a vacation!! This new expansion allows you to do just that, take your WHOLE FAMILY to a tropical island vacation. That is right the VERY TALLENTED programers at EA Games have made it possible to bring the whole family to a place out of the home. You can go shopping for suviners, you can have the staff assist your every need, anything is possible. This is the 5th expansion for the sims, and is the most advanced. Expect many more exciting expansions for The Sims.
Also if you like The Sims try Sim Golf. It is the same addictive gameplay on The Sims on a golf course. See my review on Sim Golf for more info.

I enjoyed this game fairly well for about a month...
then I realized...why the heck am I sitting around watching a pixelated version of myself doing repetitious chores when I could be doing them myself...
I mean, Plane flying and even car driving (except that dang car driving game where you go around picking kids up from school and dropping fathers off at work, I think it was called "SoccerMom") make sense....I can't just go hop on a plane or in some speedy sports car and rip up downtown.... but cooking, cleaning, sleeping, going to work, playing on a computer, going to the bathroom, reading a book, dancing, having conversations, watering the flowers, burning the house down and now going on a vacation!!!??? Aren't these the comforts of real life?
These guys did a great job on the game, don't get me wrong...
but spending your precious hours (and hours and hours and hours) playing this game makes a lot less sense then actually cooking, cleaning, sleeping, going to work, playing on a computer, going to the bathroom, reading a book, dancing, having conversations, watering the flowers, and going on vacation (burning your house down not advised).

Yayayaya! Another sims game!

Read title!
While I'm a tad worried. With The Sims Online in production, Simsville cancelled, and Hot Date just BARELY out the door, how do they have time to make yet another expansion?
Don't get me wrong, I'll buy this game hands down, but I hope Maxis makes good choices on what to work on first!

This is probably the best sims expansion ever! Now instead of just staying in the limits of the neighborhoods or downtown you can now go to a vacation island where you can snowboard, skateboard, have a snowball fight, build a snowman, and much much more. They are also going to have percipitation, like rain and snow. It is undoutfully going to be the best sims yet!

With the Sims hot date, which just came out, the sims vacation is the other expansion pack that lets you leave home. The vacation spot is an island called paridise island. THere are three spots in which you can go, the beach, camping, and the snowey region. Within tose regions, you can hunt, fish, snowboard, build sandcastles, go to arcades, and hunt for treasure. You get to stay on vacation as long as you do not spend tons of money. When you go, you can take your whole family, unlike hot date.

I think its great that Maxis is making a new Sims expansion pack because the sims game would get very boring after a while if they didn't keep making expansion packs. But the problem is they just came out with one and I've hardly have time to play with it. When the new one comes out I'll forget all abut the hot date and it would be kinda a waste. But still its really cool. I heard thats theres gonna be snowboarding,fishing,camping,carnivals,suvaniers,about 150 new items,of course the beach,hotels,snowman,sandcatles,an arcade and much more! But it depends on the amount of money you have,how long your sims can stay.And Maxis still hasn't figured out if the buget money will be the same as it is at the Sims home or not. But to get more money you can win it with detectors and winning acade games and more. Hoefully this will be another great expansion.....or not?

This is the 4th expansion on the original sims game released in May 2002, Vacation will introduce being able to take the whole household to `Vacation island' (A fully customisable island with various lots) The island has three sections Woodland camping, Snowy mountain and Beach all of which have objects and accessories themed to match. Whilst there your sims can enjoy the sun soaked beaches and fluffy snow but pressures such as money and deteriorating friendships put a strain on time spent there (although short term help is available like postcards for friends and slot machines for money) There are various souvenirs to be found, bought and won and an entertaining posse of characters including the pickpocket, hotel staff and kiddies entertainers. New objects include the arcade games, souvenir cabinet, snowboard half pipe, crazy golf, pool slide, skating rink, fishing pier, igloos and tents. In fact there is over 140 new objects to make amazing resorts from. You design the island and build up hotels, log huts, woods you name it! And you create the fun when you control the holiday! Its runs a bit slower but overall this game looks really cool and is sure to re-addict any bored sims user, and there are no found bugs yet. Whether the sims has been milked enough is yet to be seen.
