Another 6 months have gone by and another expansion pack for Sims2. Bon Voyage is the sixth major expansion pack. The various expansion packs have all had their hits and misses but it's always a bit of a dice roll when installing a new one and taking your Sims for one last spin.
There is nothing like a holiday to rejuvenate your Sims!Bon Voyage really adds a lot to the family dynamic in the game. Entire families can go on vacations, upping their relationships with each other. And best of all, while your Sims are there, the rest of the family's affairs are in a time freeze. That means anyone can take vacations without risking job performance, friendships, grades, and so on. Setting up your vacations in Bon Voyage is perfectly simple with a phone call and a few dialog boxes the only things standing between your families way is a sunny beach. Your Sims have 3 exiting places to escape to, either they choose to relax in a mountain retreat, the Far East, or a tropical escape.
At any of these resorts your Sims have everything from spas to axe throwing. Allowing for some relaxation, and hanging out with the locals, you'd be hard pressed to do everything in one visit.
If your Sims are wealthy enough they can splash out on a vacation home or bring home souvenirs such as jewellery or collectable statues.
Once a vacation is over, just like in reality, a Sim's enjoyment of the vacation will carry with them to their daily lives. Certainly no one wants to go back to work, but you can choose rewards for your Sims such as temporary improved job performance, or even temporary boosted romantic attraction. Bad vacations result in negative consequences, because your Sims will carry their unhappiness to work and school with them.
Overall this is a great expansion pack to the sims2, and broadens the game play even more.
I rate it 10/10 By Sophie Stratford
