New add on pack: Vacation

[Max Edo]

Anybody have further info on this? Here is what I know:

 

For fans of the Sims, The Sims Vacation allows you to go on a family vacation Sims style!

With all the magic and parties and dating Sims have been up to recently, many of them need a break...and what better way to take a break than going on vacation!  Send your Sims and their families to a vacation island filled with sun and snow fun! Show the kids a great time while taking a spin on a seaside carnival ride, playing sand volleyball, building snowmen, and riding on the snow slide.  Bring home memories like jewels found on a treasure hunt or a wacky souvenir.  But watch your kids because if you can't keep them from kicking over sandcastles and hurling snowballs, you'll have a short stay on Vacation Island. New Features : Vacation Island Like The Hot Date downtown, Vacation Island will have up to ten new lots that players can build vacation resorts on. Some lots are winter themed, some are beach themed, and some are forest themed. Kids are people too! The Sims Vacation allows all-new social interactions for adults and their children and interactions children can have with each other.  Unlike Hot Date, Vacation allows the entire family to go to a new location.  But watch out, if you don't take care of the kids, they may cause enough mayhem to end the vacation early.  Souvenirs and prizes Hot Date brought new gift opportunities to the Sims.  Vacation will even have a greater variety of gifts, but Sims can also win prizes in carnivals, buy souvenirs at gift shops, or even find valuables on a treasure hunt.  Perhaps if their skills are high enough, they will even win a trophy.  Sims can then take the trophy back home and show it to their friends. New group objects If you thought the hot tub was fun, wait until you play an 8-Sim game of volleyball or get involved in a 4-way snowball fight.  Vacations are about fun!  Take the kids fishing on the new fishing pier!  Who knows, you might catch the big one, or you might just catch good old junk. Welcome to Hotel Sims Just check in and let the friendly, attentive staff see to your every need.  Food buffet, luxurious beds and state of the art bathrooms are all included.  Will you be staying just a couple of days, or all week?  There are packages for every budget.  Just make sure to lock your doors...you never know who might want to pick your pocket.... New Objects: Snowman Fort Slide Half pipe Tent Skating rink Treasure hunt Volleyball Archery Fishing Whack-a-Will Shoot a Clown Horse ride Chicken Toss Miniature golf Mechanical Claw game Carousel Hotel controller Prize booth Souvenir cabinet

Hi all,

As Well as EB a site called "The Shopping Matrix" has it listed as well
here is the URL:

http://theshoppingmatrix.co.za/games/PC_GAMES_Infopage.asp?V=1959&DEF=idPC_G
AMES/0,1,0

They also say it is due March 2002.

Can this be true? If it is we are in for a treat and so are our Sims!!!

Wow, if this is fake, someone better start kicking down Maxis' door for this
expansion pack. :)

In fact, I did hear a rumor about this somewhere, that in an interview with
Will Wright down in Asia or some far off land (excuse my ethnocentricity),
the article said there would be one more expansion pack before The Sims
Online is released. I'm assuming in the spring or summer business quarter.
:) If so, this would be it, and it sounds REALLY fun. :))

Mmm...Nothing at EB UK. I hope this isn't going to be one of those US only
things.

OK, I don't usually use kids, but the vacation add-on looks at least as good
as HD. I WANT! Providing a vacation means (hopefully) that we'll be able to
control a number of sims in an interaction area that is similar to downtown,
instead of just one. The new objects and animations will provide a wealth
of possibilities to object makers. I just wonder how much additional
computing power/memory this will require...
