The sims vaction You know what I love about The Sims? I enjoy builing houses and adding furniture as my income increases. I also enjoy enhancing my Sims skills and advancing them in their jobs. I do not enjoy just watching them interact so that I can "play house." Because of that, The Sims Vacation was the last expansion I bought because it disappointed me for the same reasons the Hot Date expansion did. I'm sure there are people that love to role-play their Sims in new downtown districts (i.e. Hot Date) or hotel resorts (i.e. Vacation) but I found both of those additions boring. It's already hard enough to keep all the Sims hygiene, social and other tabs updated, and it becomes even more difficult when you take your Sims on vacation. Sure, it's interesting for a few minutes to watch your Sims ride an attraction or another expansion feature but it's not what made the game fun for me in the first place. I would only recommend this expansion for the diehard fans of The Sims series. I'd check out The Sims Unleashed or The Sims Superstar expansion packs (the two most recent expansions) first because they seem to focus on normal gameplay enhancements instead of the "side attractions" that make up The Sims Vacation or The Sims Hot Date. Of course, if you only want new decorations and furniture, Vacation adds it own fair share of the normal expansion extras. Honestly, I'd wait for the next deluxe edition that packages several expansions together. With the upcoming sequel, you can expect some good deals as The Sims tries to repackage all sequels for one last sales push. Or you can just wait for the sequel which will be out in a few months and has the same gameplay but much better graphics.
