Does Time Pass on Vacation Sims 2?

By Robert Palmer

Are you a Sims 2 player who loves going on vacation in-game? Have you ever wondered whether time passes while you’re off enjoying your Sims’ relaxation time?

Well, wonder no more! In this article, we’ll explore whether time passes on vacation in Sims 2.

What Happens When You Go on Vacation?

When you send your Sims on vacation, they’ll leave their home lot and travel to a new location. This location can be one of three destinations: Three Lakes, Twikkii Island, or Takemizu Village. Each destination has unique activities and sights for your Sims to experience.

Do Time Passes During Vacation?

Now, the question at hand: does time pass while your Sims are on vacation? The answer is yes and no.

Confused? Let’s break it down.

  • Time Passes for Your Sims: While your Sim is on vacation, time will pass for them as usual. They’ll sleep, eat, and participate in activities just like they would at home.
  • Time Doesn’t Pass for Your Home Lot: However, the time won’t pass for your home lot while you’re away. This means that your plants won’t grow, bills won’t come due, and relationships won’t change.

How Does This Affect Your Game?

So what does this mean for your game? It means that if you’re planning to send all of your Sims on an extended vacation, be prepared to come back to a lot that hasn’t changed at all (except maybe some dead plants). On the other hand, if you’re just sending one or two Sims away for a short trip, it shouldn’t have much impact on the rest of your game.

The Bottom Line

In conclusion, time does pass for your Sims while they’re on vacation in Sims 2, but it doesn’t pass for your home lot. This means that if you’re planning an extended vacation, be prepared to come back to a lot that hasn’t changed.

However, if you’re just sending a few Sims away for a short trip, it won’t have much impact on the rest of your game. Happy vacationing!
