How Do You Purchase a Vacation Home in Sims 4?

By Alice Nichols

If you’re an avid player of Sims 4 and are looking to purchase a vacation home, you’ve come to the right place! Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to purchase a vacation home in Sims 4.

Step 1: Have Enough Simoleons

Before anything else, make sure that your Sim has enough simoleons to purchase a vacation home. Depending on the location and size of the property, prices may vary. It’s best to have at least 10,000 simoleons saved up before attempting to buy a vacation home.

Step 2: Travel to a Destination

To purchase a vacation home in Sims 4, your Sim must first travel to one of the three available destinations – Granite Falls, Selvadorada, or Mt. Komorebi. You can do this by clicking on your Sim’s phone and selecting “Travel”.

Step 3: Find Available Vacation Homes

Once your Sim has arrived at their chosen destination, click on the map icon located at the bottom right corner of the screen. This will show all available lots where you can build or purchase properties. Look for the option that says “Vacation Home” and click on it.

Step 4: Choose Your Vacation Home

A list of available vacation homes will appear once you’ve selected “Vacation Home”. You can choose from pre-built homes or lots where you can build your own from scratch. Selecting a pre-built home may be more expensive but it saves time as you won’t have to build from scratch.

Budget Tip:

If you’re looking for an affordable vacation home option, consider purchasing an empty lot and building your own property instead of buying pre-built.

Step 5: Purchase Your Vacation Home

Once you’ve chosen the vacation home of your liking, click on the “Purchase” button to complete the transaction. If you don’t have enough simoleons, you won’t be able to buy the property.

Step 6: Customize Your Vacation Home

After purchasing your vacation home, it’s time to customize it to your liking. You can decorate and furnish your property with items from Build/Buy mode. You can also hire a contractor to make renovations or add amenities like a pool or hot tub.

Step 7: Enjoy Your Vacation Home

Now that you’ve purchased and customized your vacation home, it’s time to enjoy it! Use it as a getaway for your Sim and their family or invite friends over for a weekend retreat.

  • Tip: Remember that owning a vacation home means additional expenses such as bills and maintenance costs.
  • Tip: Don’t forget to save up for travel expenses as well if you plan on visiting frequently.

In Conclusion

Purchasing a vacation home in Sims 4 is an exciting addition to any Sim’s life. Remember to save up enough simoleons, travel to one of the three destinations available, choose from available lots, purchase and customize your property, and enjoy it with friends and family!
