Sims 2 - Bon Voyage PC Expansion Pack - Review

Sims 2 - Bon Voyage PC Expansion Pack
Ages: Teen

This is really fun. Make a phone call, have enough simoleons, pick a location and your Sim is picked up by an airport shuttle and plunked down into a vacation land. You have three choices:

  • Takemizu Village – tranquil gardens, tea ceremonies, gentle tai-chi and a range of accommodations from intimate ryokans to grand hotels. Kimono clad hostesses ready to wait upon you or introduce you to the Far Eastern culture.
  • Three Lakes - high mountains, blue lakes fragrant pine forests, fishing, campfires and natural hot springs.
  • Twikkii Island – Sunshine, palm trees, sandcastles, surfing, parasailing and glass bottom boats and helicopter sightseeing.
Immediate trans-portation – such is vicarious living.

There is a lot to do and explore in any one of the vacation spots and goodies to bring home. It is only limited by the time and simoleons you have. I can see the next expansion pack Simoleon Retirement.

While getting there is fun, getting the installation done is not. Besides, the lengthy admonitions as to where to install, warnings about your earlier game contents being wiped out, there was no reference to requirements – I had to go to http://thesims2ea.com/about/ep6_index.php, and yes it will play on Windows Vista, XP, ME, 98 or 2000 Operating Systems. It would have been considerate to put it somewhere on the outside of the box.


Fun Factor: Talk about instant gratification.
Player Friendly: The installation process is Byzantine and only Sims devotees will put up with it. Others will go to Sim Stories.
