    I got into The Sims late as I started with The Sims Life Stories then The Sims 2 but getting into the first game this is my favorite expansion.

    I was so disappointed as a child that the Sims couldn't swim in the ocean at beach.

    whenever you make one of these videos i'm always appalled that what used to be a single expansion in earlier games turns into 2 expansions, a game pack and a stuff pack in sims 4

    I think we don't appreciate this expansion enough these days, cause back when it was released it was the first chance for our Sims to have a day off of work or school. Going Downtown only offered a short trip to a shopping district, but you couldn't really survive for several days there. Holiday destinations allowed us to be away from home for as long as our money allowed it, have all the necessary items to fulfill our needs and not have to go to work/school every single day.

    Oh this was so much better then the vacations in Sims4. More to do, more different locations. Yes, we do have a beachworld and snowworld but you can't build a hotel there with NPC animators and even the activities in Granite Falls are boring. And do you see the slides... I miss that kind of stuff.

    I still remember when this first came out, my sister and I had an egg timer, and would take turns playing the same family, so we could do everything...lol (all the other packs we played our own created households).
    Honestly, since we rarely took vacations (except camping), I thought this is what rich people do, but to do all of it, you have to be ultra rich!

    I think World Adventures from the Sims 3 should have taken on this vacation-world style with different biomes, instead of making crude caricatures of real cultures. Their depiction of China especially is very cringe.

    I would say this expension pack was revolutionary in one more way than just vacation: for the first time we've had snow and sand in The Sims, waaaaay before The Sims 2 Seasons.
    And frankly each generation introduces expansions that *have to be* in future generations. With TS1 there were Vacations and Pets, with TS2 - University and Seasons, with TS3 - Careers and Generations (TS4 is a mess and we will see with The Sims 5 if Simmers will want any particular TS4 expansion coming back).

    It's super late at night and I just found your channel and.... you're really good at this... Recommend you create some Shorts to grow your channel! Regardless, I hope you keep making videos. I just came from your Hot Date review, and thought to myself, "does she always dress like that or did she do it because of Hot Date?" And then I come to this one and see that you're dressed like this! Love the effort. Also, love these Sims 1 reviews... I spent hundreds of hours on this game. I think it came out when I was like 5, so obviously it's a massive nostalgia trip.

    I loved all the holiday destinations, they all had a different vibe to them, and my Sims always had loads to do too. I honestly don't think there is a pack i don't like, so hard to score them, just so much charm and fun :D

    hi kirce!! what do u think abt the sims 4 not having hotels in the same way that the sims 1 was able to do?! such as having a hotel hall and only being assigned to ur chosen room... ts4 still lacks in that department when it comes to "vacations" -- which to me is a bizarre difference. holidays in ts1 feel like a community thing, lots of people etc, and in ts4 it feels rather lonely... great content from u as always!
