Travel to Hotel & Go on Vacation
Staying at a Hotel uses the same base game vacation rental systems, which means your Sims will not need to go to work/school, and you'll be able to save the game and stay multiple nights at this venue.
Building a Hotel
Get started with the new Hotel Venue Type. There are additional requirements to keep in mind like staff rooms, guest rooms and door placement.
Manage the Hotel Experience
Hotel Management interactions are available on the Concierge Bell to Edit Kitchen Menus, Manage Hotel Perks and other Hotel Settings like population demographics and guest rules. You currently cannot own hotels or "manage" them as your sim. I am currently navigating how to implement this.
Guest Rooms
There are currently no limits to the number of Guest Rooms that can be rented, however this mod was built with 3-4 rooms in mind. The game's sim cap will be padded on Hotel venues to ensure all guests and staff can be spawned, however you may experience simulation lag when pushing the original limits of the game.
Paradiso Rewards
The #1 Hotel Rewards Program in Llama Nation. Join Paradiso Rewards from your phone or a computer. Each night you stay at a Suite Life Hotel you’ll earn points based on the daily rate of your room (around 2 Points per 10 Simoleons). Once you’ve earned enough points you can purchase Paradiso Rewards from the store, including discounts and room upgrades. For young adults or older only.
Cross-Pack Features
Many packs have added gameplay at hotels! Expand to see them all.
Hotels in the Gallery
Use the hashtag #lot51hotels to make it easy for others for find your builds! Lot 51 does not review Hotels on the Gallery. There is no guarantee that they were built correctly. If you experience issues, double check all doors are facing teh correct direction, and stairs and not connecting suites and staff rooms. Hotels will upload to the gallery as a generic lot type. Once you've placed the hotel, go into the build mode and apply the Hotel Lot Type in the Venue Info panel. Any doors marked as Guest Room Entry, Staff Room Entry, or VIP Rooms should maintain their status when uploaded! REMEMBER
Birdwatching
If you have the Growing Together EP, your sims can birdwatch with binoculars!
Getting Started with Free-Range
Look for the Livestock Shelter Marker and the Grazing Marker in the Outdoor Activities category to designate the two hang out areas for your animals. Once you go back into Live mode the markers will disappear.
Caretaking
Cows and Llamas require the same care they required before, however they’ll start to make a big mess. Cow pies, trash piles, mud puddles (Seasons required) will need to be raked up daily, and will multiply more rapidly if the animals themselves stay dirty. Use the Clean Livestock Shelter option by clicking on the ground to have your Sim cleanup everything they can find. You may find your Cows to be a bit gassy. If you have Eco Lifestyle, the daily dose of methane will push your lot towards an Industrial footprint.
Grazing
Be on the lookout around your Grazing Marker when it rains (Seasons required), or during a full moon. Wild Mushrooms will grow that you can harvest and use for ingredients. If you’re lucky you might even see a fairy ring grow!
