15 of 15 people found the following review helpful Fun Diversion from Sim 3, December 23, 2010 By  Laura Paxton (Durham, NC, USA) - See all my reviews    This review is from: The Sims 3: World Adventures - Expansion Pack [Download] (Software Download) I really like this expansion pack. For one thing, while your sims are on "vacation" you can bring their skill-building books, etc. and then they have virtually unlimited time to max up abilities. When you leave regular Simland, you return at exactly the same time of day and day you left, as if you never left at all, even if you were gone weeks. Another neat thing is that there are an enormous amount of adventures. It is hard to complete even one or two in one trip. I've taken one trip to France, two to Egypt and one to China and only got Visa level 1 out of 10 levels.. and that's just for one sim. I imagine it would take many generations of sims to experience all the adventures. You also get cool unique items from your travels and two new hobbies: nectar (wine) making and martial-arts. I feel this is an excellent addition to Sims 3, esp for when you've played a long time (as I have) and gotten kind of bored. It spices things up!

This review is from: The Sims 3: World Adventures - Expansion Pack [Download] (Software Download) I almost didn't buy the download due to the negative review. I had no problem downloading the game and integrating it with my exisisting Sims 3 installation from a CD, with no harm to my existing saved games. As soon as the install completed, the EA updated found a patch and I installed that too. The nice thing about buying this as a download is now I don't need to have my Sim3 disk in when I play. World Adventures is easy to jump right into because it doesn't require very much money for the first trip. So even if you are started with a brand new household, you can send your Sim on a trip as your first action. I haven't played to much but there appears to be a lot of content. So far I've only looked around China and it is beautiful and there don't appear to be any rabbit holes (buildings that they disappear into and you can't control them). Your Sims still needs to have its needs met while on vacation, but when you return, it is fully recharged (even if you have neglected all of its...

This review is from: The Sims 3: World Adventures - Expansion Pack [Download] (Software Download) As addicting as the Sims can be, it gets a bit dull and monotonous after a while. That's why I figured an expansion pack full of tomb searching and tourism would be a great way to spice up my Sims playing. I'm not as pleased as I had hoped. All the new furniture and clothes are nice, since you tend to just use the same ones over and over after a while, but there aren't any new neighborhoods. Also, it cost a ton to travel to the new areas, which I suppose you can surpass by just using a cheat code, but it takes forever to get anywhere, and the tombs take a long time as well. It's kind of exciting as far as actual adventure outside of the 9-5 lifestyle, but your sim has to be rolling in the dough to do much. I do enjoy the nectar collecting and being more involved in developing the photography skill. I can only describe this expansion pack as alright, and for twenty dollars, I'm satisfied.
