Whisk your Sims away from their everyday
routines and take them on exciting trips to three exotic
locations! Whether relaxing on a lush tropical island in a
luxury suite, camping with the family on a pristine
mountaintop, or exploring the culture of the Far East, your
Sims will enjoy new activities to relax and rejuvenate them.
Transform them from bumbling tourists to savvy international
travelers as they learn new customs including local
greetings, dances, and more to take home and teach to their
friends. Send your Sims packing for the trip of a lifetime!
Features:
Travel to Three Dream Destinations-Each
location offers unique landscapes and local residents, such
as the Fire Dancer and Ninja, for your Sims to meet and
learn from. Try local cuisine and admire cultural landmarks
as your Sims explore these new locales.
Send Your Sims on Tours-Glass
bottom boat rides, adventurous van tours, and other
excursions are fun new activities for your Sims, but there
may be some surprises in store!
Buy or Find Unique Items-Shop
for unique objects found only on your Sims' travels,
including rare jewelry they can wear or take home as gifts.
Stumble upon hidden locations, collect shells on the beach,
or dig up treasure.
Stay at New Travel Accommodations-Splurge
on the luxury suite for your Sims or save Simoleons and
choose a more cozy lodging. Your Sims will enjoy the comfort
of room service, get pampered at the spa, and more.
The vacation activities are certainly an entertaining break
from the drudgery of everyday Sim life, and the new jewelry
options and photo-taking feature are a nice addition to the
game.
Sound and graphics are unchanged from previous iterations of
the series of course, and there’s nothing here that will
convert you to The Sims if you never liked the series
before. For Sims fanatics though, there will be plenty here
to keep you entertained for another dozen hours.
Most of Bon Voyage's additional content comes in the form
of lighthearted and handy extras that don't seem to
fundamentally change the way The Sims 2 is played. Still,
the expansion adds enough variety and ease of use to be
worth playing. Obsessive Sims 2 fans will probably want the
expansion for the collection-based gameplay and the prospect
of bonus want slots; casual Sims 2 fans should enjoy just
getting out of the house and taking a holiday.
Hours for you and weeks for your Sims can be spent in this
virtual vacation world, and there are many surprises for you to
discover. And as you become a more savvy traveler, you can try
out options like building a vacation home or opening up a hotel
of your own. There is no lack of creative things you can do with
Bon Voyage,
and fans will enjoy it.
