Traveling in The Sims 4 is a fun way to explore new locations, meet characters, and engage in different activities outside of your Sim's home neighborhood. Here's how you can do it effectively.
To travel with your Sims, you first need to select the option to visit a different location. You can do this through several methods. One of the most common ways is to use the map view. Click on the globe icon in the top right corner of your screen to access the map. Here, you will see various neighborhoods and locations where your Sims can go.
When you click on a neighborhood, you'll notice a list of lots, including residential homes, community lots, and venues like parks or clubs. If you want to visit a location you own or one of your friends' houses, just click on it, and then select "Travel." You can also choose to visit with household members or invite other Sims along.
If you're looking to travel to a specific destination like a vacation world or a seasonal area, you may need the appropriate expansion or game pack. For instance, to travel to the various vacation destinations, such as Sulani or Granite Falls, you need the "Island Living" or "Outdoor Retreat" expansion packs, respectively. Access these locations by using the map view or through the phone menu.
Another method for travel is the phone menu. Click on your Sim's phone, and choose "Travel" from the options. This brings up the same map view, allowing you to select a new location to visit.
When you arrive at a new destination, you can participate in various activities depending on the location. For example, in Granit Falls, your Sims can go camping, while in Sulani, they can enjoy leisure activities like swimming or snorkeling. Also, keep in mind that some places may have unique events or festivals based on the current day of the week or season, enhancing the overall gameplay experience.
Lastly, managing your Sims while they travel is essential. Make sure they're well-prepared with necessary supplies, especially for vacation trips where they may need food or outdoor gear.
Traveling in The Sims 4 opens up a plethora of gameplay opportunities, helping your Sims gain experiences and cultivate relationships in diverse environments. Enjoy exploring!
