The Sims 2 Bon Voyage invites you to an adventure your Sims should never miss.
To start a vacation, you have to book a vacation with a phone or a computer, set your depature time, your length of stay and your travel buddies, and you are set to go. Once you arrive to the vacation lot, you have to check in to a hotel to stay overnight, or you can choose to camp out for free. If your Sims are rich enough, they can even buy a vacation home for themselves.
Each vacation lot offers different and unique types of fun and culture to learn and some games to play. From axe throwing to mahjong, hotsprings to soothing massages, fire dancing to tea sipping you can certainly find something to enjoy for everyone in the family.
The fun is not over once your Sim family returns to their mundane lives. If you have a great vacation, your Sims will enjoy a certain amount of benefits that helps their career, skill building, relationships and so on. Otherwise, your Sims will suffer some stress for not enjoying their vacation.
Of course like the previous expansion packs, new objects, building tools and clothes are included in the game. A player can even add some jewellery to doll up the Sims like bracelets, rings, earrings, piercings (ouch!) and necklaces.
The downside of the vacation is the cost. The hotel fees, travel costs, food and tours may burden most Sim families, especially that they are just starting up.
To conclude, this is definately a nice expansion recommended for everyone who thinks their Sims are all work and no play.
