SnootySims posted a link on his Twitter page to Jeux Video PC in which lists what it appears to be the first expansion, The Sims 3: Destination Adventure.
First add on the Sims 3 to land, Destination Adventure offers travel scenery to break the dullness of everyday life.
BricaSims found some more information regarding this expansion pack, so it’s a good sign it may be true. Please note that the picture that appears in the following article is from TS3.
A title that leaves little doubt about the contents of the first additional disk, but still expect some details of key stakeholders to learn more. Meanwhile, divaguons on and extrapolate what will happen in this Destination Adventure. Of course, the extension will make the beautiful exotic travel history of sims away tired of their new city. But it is also an opportunity to engage in other activities, with real chunks of gameplay in it? A sort of The Sims 2: Naufragés that would bring a breath of freshness and interest to the series? To check this fall at the output of this additional content eagerly awaited by many fans of the series.
If it’s true, it’s not really what I wanted from the first pack, but I’ll still take any add-on to this game. I’m one of the people who’s really loving it! 🙂
is this a fact? i really wanted to hv a vacation for my sims. but i really wanted a season, though. we’ll know later…
Well, seeing as how this is normally how it’s done over the 9 years I’ve been running a fansite, I’d have to say more than likely it’s true. Usually it’s a random site – either via taking pre-orders or a gaming site that breaks the news first, then the official statement follows in the next few weeks. Of course, it’s always best to mark it as rumor until the official statement is said 🙂
Awww… And I SO wanted pets or seasons. In that order… 🙁
I was hoping for pets, seasons, or more hoods to visit instead of being keyholed into either riverdale or sunny valley. I was excited when I got Sims 3 and got riverdale from the store thinking I’d be able to have my sims travel between the two, but I soon found out that I have to play within one or the other. And I REALLY miss pets. 🙁
I never imagined a BV remake already. I thought it would be OFB because of the hint of a jobs EP. Oh well. Since my Sims make too much money, I won’t have to fuss with familyfunds since vacations will still most likely be overpriced. I still want nightclubs, though! 🙁
Sounds like a Bon Voyage rehash. I was hoping they’d combine Apartment Life and Nightlife and make some sort of Big City expansion, but wat, this EA we’re dealing with!
Yeah, I really want a City EP with nightlife elements like clubs, apartments, motorcycles, social scenes, more music and instruments, etc. Oh well. 🙁
i wanted open for business so i can creat more PIE shops haha but this is awesome too.
Wow, so they choose to copy one of the least popular of the previous Sims expansion packs. Nightlife or OFB would have been the logical choices as these ‘cities’ aren’t really cities yet so what is there to get away from?
Rian90, exactly my point! We need some city elements first to make a getaway addition more logical. I’m now curious as to what the destinations will be this time. I wonder how it’ll work… will the locations just take place on those little island-like areas that we can’t yet access or maybe appear from scrolling further across the sea? Then again, that’s only for Sunset Valley since Riverview is different. One thing for sure, however, we better now get the ability to swim in the ocean. Jeez, the least they can do is that with a destination EP. Beaches are so boring right now, I don’t even bother with them other than fishing.
I hope it will be like Castaway <3
I sooo Agree beaches are terribly boring!! I threw a party there for a sims birthday, I thought we could swim in it highly disappointed!!
With a name like Destination Adventure it makes everyone assume this is going to be like Vacation. However, the “Adventure” part of it intrigues me. I wonder if it will expand on things like searching the catacombs. I just hope there aren’t a lot more rabbit holes that I can’t follow my sims into though. It would be sooo cool if they do something new. I don’t want them to rehash the same old expansions from the previous games. I mean, I’d love to see some elements of them back but give us something new and different along with the old, please! I love animals but the sims pets are so boring and I could really care less if we ever get them back.
yeah i agree that they should have put out a seasons or pets expansion pack first. i miss pets. i miss the snow. 🙁 but they need to start poppin out some expansion packs quick cause i’m already bored with the game. hopefully they wont be too overpriced. EA kinda sucks cause they over charge for everything. i mean like a dollar for a ponytail mesh at the sims 3 store? no way. but luckily there are good people who think that the stuff needs to be free so they put it out for everyone to download free of charge. but let the record show i did legally obtain the sims 3, just not the stuff 🙂
Destination Adventure: Take your sims on a cruise ship from the west coast to Alaska where you can visit the palins, or hop on a train and go across sim country from the east to the west stopping at each site of interest to take photos of your sims. Imagine stopping at the Grand Canyon and having a photo taken for preservation of memories. Viewing Mount Simsmore in the soon to be released (with Destination Adventure) Ohio map (what, you didn’t know Mount Simsmore is in Ohio?)
All this and more is yours in Destination Adventures. P.S. The unfortunate part is that we as the developers couldn’t make the cruiseship work so we left it as a rabbit hole where you will have to watch a ship for 7 days while your sim has fun, and well, again our apologies but the train is just another rabbit hole. But other than that, expect lots of fun and excitement skiing in the Northwest, and fishing in the plains, and we have also included the long anticipated and wated Hot Tub! Whoot, the Hot Tub! Yes folks you heard it here first, you’re finally getting your hot tubs although there will be no more whoopee in the hot tub as we have to now watch our ratings more than ever.
Have fun.
I was accutally a little dissapointed in the sims 3. Although you can run from house to house, you can’t go inside job sites and you have only the person you created in that one saved setting. You can’t make a sim and then make another one and expect them to meet it’s impossible. So I hope the new expansion packs widen those horrizons.
Wonder if this rumor got started from this game? ——-> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Destination_Adventure
Yo City Builder. Were you kidding? I really can’t tell because your description of the EP sounds quite believable. lol
RosieLynch I was wondering the same thing. City Builder did make that sound so believable and if it’s the truth YES! Also you never know maybe BV actually did really well last time and that’s why they did it or it could be cause the Sims are already asking to leave town and I mean really where can you go to leave town? lmao. I just hope that they include seasons in this expansion pack and also make it more expensive to travel during this time then the other like in real life. What a little more detail never hurt anybody and what better time to take a vacation then during the cold months at home or to cooler places during the summer? A girl could only dream. LOL!
It sounds quite good. I’d find it boring if they had the same exppansion packs as sims 2 but better. I’d rather have a more different idea, but i really do hope seasons will be made. Or at least an expansion pack with weather. It completes the game! And anyway, aparently there will be 17 expansion packs, so I doubt there’s not going to be nightlife stuff or pets involved some time. If i was to make an expansion pack, though, it would be luxury stuff or somethign. (im not good with names :]) but it would have careers like modeling and acting and there would be new luxury items for mansions like big chandeliers and expensive decorative stuff. And if your sim was really famous like rockstar (which is in the base game anyway) or actor and stuff when they died there would be some sort of wall of fame and you could have your own star like in front of the theatre like they do in holywood :] LOL Another one me and my friend thought of was instead of a family stuff pack, there would be a family EP, so there could be new activities for the family to do and special rewards when you have strong bonds with your family. In sims 2 it kinda annoyed me when cousins didn’t know each other and they could never meet :\ so yeah the expansion pack could like focus on families and stuff :] Thats it. ive writen way too much 😀
Courtney, you can make two sims you’ve created meet. Click options then go to edit town- there should be options to make more sims and copy them to your game
i think destination adventure is like bon voyage why did they make destination adventure first sims 3 is a seamless neighborhood why are they making destiation adventure its wierd.
I really wanted a pets expansion pack or maybe a magic expansion pack like they made for the Sims 1. I wanted them to re create the magic expansion pack for Sims 2 but now i really hope that they make a magic pack for the sims 3!
o i definetly agree. the magic expansion for the sims 1 was amazing and i really hope that they bring it back for the sims 3. of course EA does tend to disapoint me quite a bit these days…
I really wanted like a celebrity sims3…or a dating one like hot date or nightlife, for the first pack..oh pets would be nice 🙂
celebrity was one of my favorites for the original sims too. we can only hope….
I am so glad they are fineally going to release something for Sims 3. I am seriously getting frusterated w/ only having 2 cities to go. Pets and night life would be cool too!
I didnt expect for my sims to be exploring and searching for things like in castaway.Who I am i to judge when i havn’t even played it yet.I am disapointed but as a fan I will buy the expansion.My point is I was hoping for something like seasons and pets.Why fix something thats not broken???
Oh, eventually we’ll get there, trust me – we’ll have plenty of expansions. But I suppose they want to start off with something fresh and exciting – while we did have The Sims 1 Vacation and The Sims 2 Bon Voyage, this third ‘vacation/travel’ expansion will bring a lot more cool features then the previous two combined (I do wish they would of had a weather/farm expansion first though) 🙂
im kinda glad they went with something new. if they kept going with the same old stuff i would get bored incredibly fast….
its actally called world adventures. its a lot more fun then bon voyoge. theres mummys! but i hoped that there first expansion pack would be somethng new and i mean totally new. not in any way the same. but out of remake id have OFB or seasens. i hed university though. oh ddu hea there makeing a sims movie
I got the sims 2 apartment life and all the other ones too. My sims 3 game is not working right. but it would be cool to have that game
i wish their next expansion would be a business expansion… =) i really wanna see how new theyd make a business expansin… and you know.. an expasion of like your sims at work or in shool to see would be nice too T_T cause its boring for me to wait for my triplets and the parents at work or school…
I am so ready for the sims3 ambitions to come out.even though I know I will get just a bored with the jobs as I am with being the CEO of do peas towers.Does anybody have problems with meeting people in thier town? I play family member after another and by the third generation I have to always marry a maid or babysitter thats insane.I cant find a doctor or a rich sim.lol the sims i do creat to populat the town die out and wont have kids.another thing is if i do meet somebody i cant tell how old they are.ill move them in and then i know it they are old and i still got 25 days left til i turn old.I buy biusnesses and never make a profit.is there something wrong with my game for it to do all of this?
