Looking to take your Sims for some fun in the sun before the summer is over? Westlake Interactive today announced that The Sims Vacation has gone gold master. It’ll soon hit store shelves thanks to the efforts of Mac game publisher Aspyr Media.
The Sims Vacation is the fourth expansion pack for the enormously popular Aspyr-published Mac game The Sims. In The Sims, you take control of simulated people who go about their daily life, and you help them make key decisions about how they’ll live. Made by the same folks who created the legendary Sim City games, The Sims puts you in charge of what your Sims will decorate their homes with, what jobs they’ll take, who they’ll meet, how they’ll interact with them and what they’ll do for fun.
Previous expansion packs for The Sims have focused on expanding the Sims’ homes and inventories of goodies, helping them to party or improving their love lives. In this installment, you can let your Sims go on a holiday to a tropical island, visit a forest or go skiing. As with other expansion packs, the Sims Vacation add-on features new characters and loads of new items — more than 125 in all.
Westlake reported that The Sims Vacation is currently in duplication, so you should see it hit stores very soon. To play The Sims Vacation you’ll need the full version of The Sims (and this is Mac OS X compatible, too).
