Populating a holiday neighbourhhod???

<< < (4/7) > >>

Jelenedra:
The seasons for each vacation hood are changeable, IIRC. They just default to suitable for each location. For example, the Mizu village has no winter and Three Lakes has no summer.

Totally doable to have an all Winter Three Lakes with elves and Santas if you want.

Was it Sims 1 version that was called Holiday? Vacation here in normal land, Holiday over in snooty land.*


*I honestly have nothing against Europe. 15/16ths of me is from there. I just don't get changing the titles of products if you're selling it in the same language.

Because 'Vacation' would have made no sense. The English call vacations 'Holidays' and probably wouldn't have known what it meant.

Kiwis don't often use the word vacation, but we know what it means. We had the Vacation EP here.

Jelenedra:
I don't think you understand how the in-game Santa works. There are no visits from the kiddies. So commerical vs. residental won't make a difference.

Although, the only lots you're going to have in a vacation hood are hotels and community lots....

Yeah we do understand what it means, unless American English is a foreign language.  The only problem we have with the American style of English is their incorrect spellings. 

However, 'vacation' is not a word used commonly for that usage in England- everyone I know calls a vacation a holiday. Vacation may be a valid word (and an ancient word), but to market a game title that may not be understood by the target is risky. It's like calling a bumper a fender or a pavement a sidewalk- I understand and you understand, but would my mother or a twelve year old?
