I'm a story simmer and I love making characters from other things I know, I have an Uncharted save which I love so I use jungle adventure all the time. (If you don't know Uncharted btw the main characters are literally treasure hunters.)
I like the theme of Strangerville more, but I have to disagree; I think Jungle Adventure has more replayability. You can collect a ton of artifacts and sell them with Get to Work or create your own Selvadoradian museum. It definitely was a fully thought out GP that integrated well with other packs. I wish they did the same with Strangerville - like having Conspiracy Theorist as a career and unlocking secrets in other worlds to uncover hidden locations. I think because Batuu wasn't received well, they stopped doing more adventure packs. It's a shame because they are actually fun and I'd love to have another one.
I think the thing is people really want more of the old Sims spinoffs.. like Sims 2 Castaway (console version) was absolutely amazing. It was like Jungle Adventure but far better. Then there were games like Urbz Sims in the City that was just a lot of fun. Both games were so fun because they were Sims but with more of an adventure twist. It wasn't just you staring at the home lot all day. Like Castaway is basically constantly "rags to riches" because you're having to gather to survive and thrive.
@@Eventide215 So true! Sims 4 needs a spinoff. Sims 2 had Castaway, Life Stories, and Pet Stories, and Sim 3 had Medieval. I think it would be a great addition to make things more interesting.
@@SyntheticGoth Yeah "rags to riches" challenges are the most commonly done thing on Sims 4 because people want that sense of survival and building up from nothing. All of that happened on Castaway where you started stranded on an island and had to gather materials to make tools and get better materials and then start literally crafting a house. Medieval was one I loved too but wish was different and they could do so much better now.
@@SyntheticGoth absolutely LOVE Sims 2 Castaway for console. And Sims 3 Medieval is soooo under appreciated. I love the freedom of The Sims but the RPG with quests addition is so fun. I still play it frequently.
I’ve told many people that I think I’m the only person who consistently sends her sims to Granite Falls and Selvadora to camp during the summer or have a fun Latin inspired spring break or honeymoon trip
I used to before we could holiday anywhere we wanted cause vacations are great for story. But now I never use Granite Falls, but I play the archeology gameplay a lot.
Personally, I love the pack. The clothes could have been less 2D but build and buy is beyond excellent and I find the archaeologist gameplay fun and exciting. It's the only holiday world I use.
My favorite thing to do with this pack is to make an archaeologist who owns a small store where they sell all the things they find! The rules are that they can't just replace items after they're sold, all stock has to be replaced manually by what they find in Selvadorada, haha. It's super fun. I also allow them to make money off of maxing out the archaeology skill
In Jungle Adventures, the seasons are Hot, Steamy Hot and Rainy Hot. So, even in Winter, hot weather attires are appropriate. A good Sim for the exploration of the jungle : A spell caster loaded with Fulfilled needs potions. Also, having some Ghostly filters from the Scientist career can greatly help. You can't get poisoned nor die when in ghost form. Having a high gardening skill help clearing those gates quickly and without risking injuring oneself without a machete. Those ancient bone dust can be used to make some antidotes. Talk to the locals to learn the recipes. You can buy one from a computer for §1000. All in all, it pays to have a well lived Sim who have built his various skills here.
Spellcaster teleportation is useful, but if I were playing it, I would probably go for a tent and bicycle combination instead. Just to keep it from getting too easy.
I actually found that being a mermaid sim while exploring the jungle can be pretty fun. Especially since the waterfall in a bottle fills their hydration need. And in certain temple layouts, there are swimming sections.
I like the pack a lot. I try to use a lot the magical aspects of the game and I can't stress enough how cool certain treasures you find are. You can find very powerful Relics that can cast a Blessing or Curse depending on the Head, Base, and Gem combo. There's blessings of Wealth, New Relationships, Skeleton Assistant, Skelton Transformation There's Curse of the Ancients, Food Mirage, Personal Raincloud, Greedy Needs, and my favorite being Marked for Death
This is one of my favorite packs. It's also the first one I bought so I have major nostalgia for it, plus it's some much needed representation. And I think it's far more repayable than strangerville due to the locked areas each trip that change and the many artifacts. Plus you can learn the skills for it if you have high school years which makes me remember that it exists. This is the one world I wish wasn't vacation only
If you can use mods there is a mod out there that makes the vacation world's livable! I wish EA would just update the old vacation worlds to be livable like the newer ones.
This is perfect! I just made my new legacy heir an Educator with the Archaeology aspiration, so he could be like Indiana Jones or something. I finished exploring the jungle, went into a temple, finished it, and was slightly disappointed that it was over so soon. After seeing this and reading everyone’s comments, I’m so glad to see that it’s lucrative and replayable! I didn’t realize that there was so much more I didn’t get to do. Will definitely explore some more :)
I was so happy to see this expansion pack. World Adventures is one of my favorite packs of all time (more new gameplay in that pack than a lot of others - so many are just glorified stuff packs) and was shocked when just about every CZcams Simmer at that time rated it as one of their least favorites. I loved the ruin exploration & being able to disarm traps. This is the closest they've come to replicating that pack.
People rated it low? I lost my sims 3 in a move and generations, seasons and world adventures were the first dlc I rebought. Followed up by university and nightlife
I am now imagining a video where Stanley just abducts random people to live with him so he can get the max amount of money from the can, while getting super mad whenever someone autonomously does the dishes in the sink
@@aylaandersen when I started my current legacy challenge, at first I didn't have a single sink, so I could use that trash can to maximum, and then I had no trash can because one of my sims was obsessed with recycling 😂
Yes, but it takes a long time, especially with only a single Sim as, when you drag trash in it, it pays §10 per Sim or pet in the family. A flat §10 when any Sim from the family put things in it and zero if some random Sim use it.
I'm now feeling really nostalgic about the Sims 3 World Adventures. After a couple of trips my saves would always crash and I never got to finish exploring every lot.
hey! let's just appreciate how kayla takes the time to upload for us EVERY SINGLE DAY! also who else thinks that kayla should play through strangerville? edit: 227 likes? ty guys I didn't even expect any!
omg yes!! i dont have any packs at the moment and i would really love to see kayla play through more so i get a great perspective on which ones i may like or not!
The thing I wish for this pack is being able to see more of the things the Sims encounter here, instead of so many rabbit holes. I mean how cool would it have been to actually see the Jaguar that she encountered? I've never been able to get to the temple. I guess I will have to revisit this myself. I like the pack, just wish it wasn't mostly rabbit holes.
I love Jungle Adventure. Once you get to level 9 of the archeology skill, they send you stuff to authenticate and those items provide 2-4K every time. At that point, I just have my Sim quit their job and authenticate everything they send me. You can make money so quickly. Also, those berries that mess with your emotions are a great way to cause death by laughter when given to a sim with a lot of mood buffs.
It pairs well with Realm of Magic, because your sims can use spells to fix their needs and then you don't have to worry about having food or sleeping bags or showers. lol You still need to worry about all the traps and bugs and stuff though.
I absolutely ADORE Jungle Adventure gameplay! I'm currently working on a degree in archaeology in real life, so when I heard about the archaeology skill and gameplay in Sims I just knew I had to try it for myself. I have so much fun with it! The jungle chance encounters are super fun, and I love puzzling through the temples too. Plus you can make some really good money with the archaeology skill! On top of that, the build/buy and CAS of this pack are really great too. I definitely get how the pack might not be for everyone, but it's honestly one of my favorite game packs offered by Sims.
There's a cool thing when you finish the aspiration, you got send artifacts to examine and then you send it back and earn money. i love my sims being an archeologist!
You're wrong, though. Finishing the aspiration makes your sim happier in museums. Having 9th level in archeology makes it so you're sent things to examine and make good money from it
i am so biased, this is one of my favorite packs because I am El Salvadorian-American and all of the Salvadorada things like food and clothing where so reminiscent to me I couldn't help but buy it day one!
Jungle adventure is a lot of fun. The first time I went was such a disaster 😂 I went home and did the mountain climbing aspiration and got my sim some money, rebuilt a lot as a campground so it was cheap, got married so she’d have help then went back and spent 3 days buying stuff before I went to the temple 😂
I LOVE Jungle Adventure!! I have at least one archaeologist in every sims family I make! I think it’s great you’re able to take artifacts home and then work on them from home, amazing if you also want family gameplay
The furniture that comes with that pack is amongst my favorites in the game. I'm obsessed with the kitchen counters, the round table, the beds and couch ❤
I replayed jungle adventure pretty recently, it's so good, you can learn a new dance, and if you spend your time in the baths you can set up a whole campsite there and make your own excavation sites which stay for ages. Then you just pop out when the temple opens. I'd then head home and have a full time job just identifying all the treasure you dug up.
I just started my Legacy family, and I made my main gal an archeologist. I REALLY love Jungle Adventure, and the fact that Discover University has a class that can raise the skill just makes it more fun.
its so funny how the video she did about jungle adventure a few years ago with stanley poped up in my recommendations last week😂 - stanley got bitten by the spiders too - he end up dying from electrocution - simsie was sad because she wanted to see him die from potion - never got to the last temple or pass first day hahahah
my only complaint with the pack is that you can’t live in Selvadorada. I’m hispanic and would absolutely love to see more worlds with a latin american theme that i can actually live in. Like I absolutely love the architecture and building style of jungle adventure and it would be great to see other south american influences especially in a livable world
I've found that playing Jungle Adventure as a mermaid is super clutch (if you sim starts off with no money) cuz you wont need a tent, you can just sleep in the pools of water you find.
Last time I played this pack was years ago, watching this video made me remember how fun this pack is. Sure, it doesn't have that much replayability (although at least it is more varied than Strangerville in my opinion), but at least it is pretty well made, as the gameplay, world and everything in this pack is overall pretty fun.
Selvadorada not being a residential world is my biggest gripe with the pack. The gameplay is fun and the build/buy items are some of my favorites, but it makes no sense as a vacation-only world. It makes sense for Granite Falls because living at a campground full time is rare, but Selvadorada should be a residential world with a couple vacation lots, like Henford on Bagley or Mount Komorembi.
I still got that one pending. IN the sims 3 I only had one expansion pack would've loved to play the adventures (not to drag the expansion pack cos let's be honest it was great and especially compared to the sims 4...)
i think i have NEVER finished all of the "missions" of world adventures. but i remember doing that stuff like catching 5 super rare red bugs in china maaany times lol ! then i went to france and i couldn't keep going on because i needed the magical axe locked on the chinese sky temple... and wine making.... and mummies...... truly had way too much fun
and also it was really "re-playable" because you didn't have to be like adventure seeking archaeologist lara croft, you could just be good in fitness and they would send a opportunity to go to china train martial arts! or maybe you were a great chef and they called you to go to france and learn their crepes recipes and also wine-making! it was just so nice... in sims 4 that content would be like chopped in 5 packs and 8 kits and it would be worse lol
I own this pack and also really enjoy the gameplay! I don’t do it very often but when I do it’s really fun! Although the archaeology stuff can get a bit repetitive if you get home from a long holiday and have looooads of artefacts to uncover
i bought this pack for my gf who is an anthropology major, she loves all the cool anth related features and she also has some strong opinions on all the inaccuracies lol. for us, this pack was a must have❤
I have this one sim that was very adventurous in her young adult stage. She travelled with her bf to Selvadorada, climbed Mt.Komorebi (my first expedition 🥺), spend some time in Sulani. And I really like Jungle Adventures, I think it's a great representation of tropical world and the fact you can learn about culture and how to dance salsa (I guess??) is such a nice detail! I need to come back to this location. Now this sim is an immortal spellcaster and I think she's a great-great-grandmother to my current sim. Well, the one I'm playing rn is a vampire so I guess I won't travel with her too much XD
"oh, you can like fitness! you won't have that much time to like fitness, but I guess you can enjoy it in your final days here" absolutely killed me 😂😭 love this pack so much
This is one of my favorite packs. Sometimes I choose to have a sim be an archaeologist as their career cause I believe when you max it out they can get sent artifacts at home to authenticate and send back for money. Now I want to play again so a sim can make enough for a big mansion or something lol maybe with an in home museum of artifacts lol I did have a self sim descendant doing that somewhat recently.
I LOVE Jungle Adventure! I played a NSB spin-off where my career was freelance archaeologist (not an actual career). Once you hit lvl 7 or 8 in archeology, the geo-council will start sending you artifacts to authenticate. You can earn up to 4k simloeons each. The totems can also be combined in different ways and all have special abilities. The Curse of Pancakes Mirage is my favorite.
Jungle Adventure is my favorite game pack. It might get slightly repetitive, but it has enough variation to still make it fun. And it has lots of places to explore which makes you have to come back again and again. Plus the build mode o think is my favorite of all the build modes.
The best way I found to do this is with a werewolf sim cause they can pee anywhere, sleep on the ground, and when they get hungry, they can hunt for meat
This makes me actually want to buy jungle adventure, I just never got it because I didn’t know much about the pack nor did I think it would be interesting, but see how the pack works that’s really cool and makes me want to try it.
LOVE this pack!! One of my favorite details about it that is often overlooked is that if you have C&D, stray dogs will spawn around the village area. My two sims honeymooned there and they ended up adopting and bringing home a dog that I named Indy (after Indiana Jones).
the werewolf perks make these excursions soooo much easier. not having any of the essentials is fine when your sim can pee anywhere, sleep on the floor, lick themselves clean, and hunt for meat
The aspirations are so OP. I think the archaeology one makes you a relic expert so people will send artifacts for you to authenticate then send back. I had a Sim make a fortune off that as you can easily get $2,000-4,000 per artifact.
Whenever I've gone to the temple in this there's random children and toddlers around. Like who is leaving their children into the jungle??? I like the pack but I was expecting it to be more similar with the Sims 3 world adventures. I loved that one and tried to go through every temple in that. I feel like most of my Sims 3 play was done with it.
Jungle adventure was the first pack I ever bought, and it's definitely one of my favorites 😍 My biggest wish for this pack, is that it would be possible to live in this world! I'm so sad Selvadorada only is a vacation world 😟 And also Granite Falls... People do live in jungles and forests 😅🏞️
I've played sims all my life but haven't gotten into Sims 4 really, so I live through the youtubers, and I wasn't really in the lets play era of the beginning of sims 4 either, so i had literally never seen any of trhe gameplay from jungle adventure, I appreciate that you did the video!
I actually did this aspiration recently when my legacy sim married a sim that had it. I was surprised at how much I enjoyed it all these years later! Fun to watch you have similar reactions!
Did you know you can live in selvadorada? (If you have paranormal stuffs-pack) Choose a lot and set the lot-type to haunted house. Boom! You can live here now!
The first time I played with this pack I didn’t realize everything could kill you and got super lucky so the second time I came back, I accidentally killed my sim bc he was set on fire with the fireflies except the game glitched so it took him like 3 days in game to die!!! And it was raining the whole time too, and I brought his wife in thinking that might help the death stop glitching. It was super tragic. It was during the Disney Princess challenge. If I remember correctly, it was Tiana’s father, so it was fitting.
I was going to get this one but bought Outdoor Retreat instead - I think I'd enjoy this though! The architecture and landscaping does indeed look great!
This is my go to pack for a calm, one Sim game play for just adventuring and earning simoleons. I go through the jungle then authenticate the artifacts then sell on a selling table. I make money at a steady pace and can build up my home from there. I also often create a museum and display artifacts and other collectables when using this pack. Note: poisoning can be cured four ways: wait for it to go away or kill you; use a computer for an antidote; pray at the statue of the lady in the courtyard; or give ancient bone dust to a local for the antidote. You can get bone dust in the temple, but you can also buy it off the secret market at 5th Selvadoradian Culture skill from a local. Also, with the 5th level in culture, you can learn to Rhumba Sim (dance) buy other secret wares, buy secret menu foods, and prevent lightning bug attacks without deterrents or healing supplies.
When I first started playing the sims 4 I saw the pack and didn’t really think much of it and then over the years it has started growing on me and I think the next time the packs go on sale I’m going to get it hopefully!
As a latin, i still hate the fact that you can't live in the jungle. It's just ridiculous and kinda offensive to me, like i literally live in a place really similar to selva dorada, so, yeah. I'm really hoping they refresh that pack and add that.
I absolutely love jungle adventure and use it regularly in my gameplay. Since it's so helpful to have a lot of high skills when you're actually exploring, I usually have sims just go to "party" vacation there when they're young and in uni, or pretend foreign exchange in highschool or uni, stuff like that. Then when they're middle aged, or even elder sometimes (basically I wait until the kids have moved out, usually), I'll have them fully immerse in the experience. I like the challenge of having them complete both aspirations. Plus it's a fun way for me to have something kind of assigned to older sims in my game, since so far there isn't very much specifically for them in the game other than what we the players decide to assign to them. Anyway, that's how I like to use it, sorry for being long winded! 😅
Is Dan a fan of Star Wars? I would honestly like a video where you have someone play that is a fan of the franchise and see if that has an effect on their opinion. I’m a casual fan and I don’t get the hate the Star Wars pack gets. It can be fun, although it does seem kind of random for the Sims and I could do without the invitation every time you load up a new save.
Pretty much everyone I see who hates on the pack (in chats/comments, not creators) doesn't have it. They just hate on it because it's seen as the cool thing to do. I'm not a SW fan but the gameplay was fun enough for an afternoon and I LOVE the build buy.
Wow, I forgot how difficult jungle adventure is if you're unprepared. Plasma bats can be dodged with high fitness, bees and spiders are manageable with high logic, and selvadoradian firebugs and lightningbugs are confused by selvadoradian methods (you learn them by learning their culture)
I will agree that it is super fun and a great way to make a ton of money. That being said, it is gameplay that you have to seek out yourself. If you have Jungle Adventure and High School Years, your teens will gain some archaeology skill in class but it is mostly developed with the game pack options
It's my favorite side quests, routine breaking pack to have, I do the collecting almost in every savefile! Yes, it is reapiting itself at some point, but as a collector I do it throughout generations so it's not like try to collect all at once 🎉
jungle adventure is too underrated, i earned a million simoleons in rags to riches with it
Ya. You can make a fortune with it
I'm a story simmer and I love making characters from other things I know, I have an Uncharted save which I love so I use jungle adventure all the time.
(If you don't know Uncharted btw the main characters are literally treasure hunters.)
Time to go to the jungle with my legacy family I guess 😂 cause idk where all the money went but I am broke-
my sims have been dirt poor this entire time and all i needed was to go to the jungle
Yay

Me too, I play the game to have my sims explore the worlds and interact with everything. Most people just spend hours in CAS and then quit.
I love these things too!!
I use both of those packs a lot, too! Jungle Adventure is one of my favorite game packs.
I do too !!!! I have built some fancy rental places for "Glamping trips" and more "rustic" rentals 😂
For me, sims 4 has gotten to the point where remembering and doing things that I haven’t done in a long time is genuinely really fun

@Savanna Rain forest. Salvadoria is jungle, a rain forest.
I like the pack a lot. I try to use a lot the magical aspects of the game and I can't stress enough how cool certain treasures you find are.
You can find very powerful Relics that can cast a Blessing or Curse depending on the Head, Base, and Gem combo. There's blessings of Wealth, New Relationships, Skeleton Assistant, Skelton Transformation
There's Curse of the Ancients, Food Mirage, Personal Raincloud, Greedy Needs, and my favorite being Marked for Death

What?! Jungle adventure is my favorite game pack!!! Almost every family goes there for vacation!!
Jungle adventure is a lot of fun. The first time I went was such a disaster 😂 I went home and did the mountain climbing aspiration and got my sim some money, rebuilt a lot as a campground so it was cheap, got married so she’d have help then went back and spent 3 days buying stuff before I went to the temple 😂
I LOVE Jungle Adventure!! I have at least one archaeologist in every sims family I make! I think it’s great you’re able to take artifacts home and then work on them from home, amazing if you also want family gameplay
The furniture that comes with that pack is amongst my favorites in the game. I'm obsessed with the kitchen counters, the round table, the beds and couch ❤
I replayed jungle adventure pretty recently, it's so good, you can learn a new dance, and if you spend your time in the baths you can set up a whole campsite there and make your own excavation sites which stay for ages. Then you just pop out when the temple opens. I'd then head home and have a full time job just identifying all the treasure you dug up.
I just started my Legacy family, and I made my main gal an archeologist. I REALLY love Jungle Adventure, and the fact that Discover University has a class that can raise the skill just makes it more fun.
Jungle adventures always makes me want to play the sims 3 world adventures. Such a better game experience!
Poor Stanley new Rags to riches jungle style😂
its so funny how the video she did about jungle adventure a few years ago with stanley poped up in my recommendations last week😂
- stanley got bitten by the spiders too
- he end up dying from electrocution
- simsie was sad because she wanted to see him die from potion
- never got to the last temple or pass first day hahahah
my only complaint with the pack is that you can’t live in Selvadorada. I’m hispanic and would absolutely love to see more worlds with a latin american theme that i can actually live in. Like I absolutely love the architecture and building style of jungle adventure and it would be great to see other south american influences especially in a livable world
Yes! I love sending my sims to Selvadorada for their honeymoons! I should try to unlock all the paths!❤
I've found that playing Jungle Adventure as a mermaid is super clutch (if you sim starts off with no money) cuz you wont need a tent, you can just sleep in the pools of water you find.
Last time I played this pack was years ago, watching this video made me remember how fun this pack is. Sure, it doesn't have that much replayability (although at least it is more varied than Strangerville in my opinion), but at least it is pretty well made, as the gameplay, world and everything in this pack is overall pretty fun.
If we were allowed to live in Selvadorada I’d buy this pack in a heartbeat. The jungle and build/buy are gorgeous
Selvadorada not being a residential world is my biggest gripe with the pack. The gameplay is fun and the build/buy items are some of my favorites, but it makes no sense as a vacation-only world. It makes sense for Granite Falls because living at a campground full time is rare, but Selvadorada should be a residential world with a couple vacation lots, like Henford on Bagley or Mount Komorembi.
I literally started playing world adventures today and I have to say they did pretty good with this pack tbh. World Adventures is still amazing
I still got that one pending. IN the sims 3 I only had one expansion pack would've loved to play the adventures
(not to drag the expansion pack cos let's be honest it was great and especially compared to the sims 4...)
world adventures is such a great pack!
@@reaverkai its such a fun pack and theres so much to do!!
i think i have NEVER finished all of the "missions" of world adventures. but i remember doing that stuff like catching 5 super rare red bugs in china maaany times lol ! then i went to france and i couldn't keep going on because i needed the magical axe locked on the chinese sky temple... and wine making.... and mummies...... truly had way too much fun
and also it was really "re-playable" because you didn't have to be like adventure seeking archaeologist lara croft, you could just be good in fitness and they would send a opportunity to go to china train martial arts! or maybe you were a great chef and they called you to go to france and learn their crepes recipes and also wine-making! it was just so nice... in sims 4 that content would be like chopped in 5 packs and 8 kits and it would be worse lol
what's a day without a simsie video? 😍
Fr fr
a blessing
nothing
A lonely and sad day
@@wig.snatcher with or without
I own this pack and also really enjoy the gameplay! I don’t do it very often but when I do it’s really fun! Although the archaeology stuff can get a bit repetitive if you get home from a long holiday and have looooads of artefacts to uncover
i bought this pack for my gf who is an anthropology major, she loves all the cool anth related features and she also has some strong opinions on all the inaccuracies lol. for us, this pack was a must have❤
I have this one sim that was very adventurous in her young adult stage. She travelled with her bf to Selvadorada, climbed Mt.Komorebi (my first expedition 🥺), spend some time in Sulani. And I really like Jungle Adventures, I think it's a great representation of tropical world and the fact you can learn about culture and how to dance salsa (I guess??) is such a nice detail! I need to come back to this location.
Now this sim is an immortal spellcaster and I think she's a great-great-grandmother to my current sim. Well, the one I'm playing rn is a vampire so I guess I won't travel with her too much XD
i'd love to see more old packs get replayed because i definitely get in a rut with what i use and i forget how much is out there to do
I've recently started a JA let's play and it's going swell! My sim got engaged to a skeleton💀😂 This one of my fav packs
I LOVE JUNGLE ADVENTURE!! The build items are right up my alley
"oh, you can like fitness! you won't have that much time to like fitness, but I guess you can enjoy it in your final days here" absolutely killed me 😂😭 love this pack so much
This is one of my favorite packs. Sometimes I choose to have a sim be an archaeologist as their career cause I believe when you max it out they can get sent artifacts at home to authenticate and send back for money. Now I want to play again so a sim can make enough for a big mansion or something lol maybe with an in home museum of artifacts lol I did have a self sim descendant doing that somewhat recently.
I LOVE Jungle Adventure! I played a NSB spin-off where my career was freelance archaeologist (not an actual career). Once you hit lvl 7 or 8 in archeology, the geo-council will start sending you artifacts to authenticate. You can earn up to 4k simloeons each. The totems can also be combined in different ways and all have special abilities. The Curse of Pancakes Mirage is my favorite.
Jungle Adventure is my favorite game pack. It might get slightly repetitive, but it has enough variation to still make it fun. And it has lots of places to explore which makes you have to come back again and again. Plus the build mode o think is my favorite of all the build modes.
You should check out the Relics from the pack, because some of those curses are very fun to mess around with
Curse of the Pancakes Mirage!
I was disappointed that jungle adventure isn’t just a regular world. It would be cool to live there.
If you get poisoned, you can also get an antidote for free by talking with the locals and getting bone dust
I would love to see a build using jungle adventure and the Moroccan oasis kit :)
The best way I found to do this is with a werewolf sim cause they can pee anywhere, sleep on the ground, and when they get hungry, they can hunt for meat
I love how she just left her tent behind at base camp and slept in bushes
This makes me actually want to buy jungle adventure, I just never got it because I didn’t know much about the pack nor did I think it would be interesting, but see how the pack works that’s really cool and makes me want to try it.
LOVE this pack!! One of my favorite details about it that is often overlooked is that if you have C&D, stray dogs will spawn around the village area. My two sims honeymooned there and they ended up adopting and bringing home a dog that I named Indy (after Indiana Jones).
About time we have a Latin American residential world. I would love to have that Brazilian beach town from that survey from years ago!
I LOVE jungle adventures. There’s so much to do. I have fun replaying it, too. I miss the Sims 3 adventures pack, though.
I loved watching Kayla play this pack! And as if she read my mind, would love to see the Star Wars pack being played again 🤭
the werewolf perks make these excursions soooo much easier. not having any of the essentials is fine when your sim can pee anywhere, sleep on the floor, lick themselves clean, and hunt for meat
I usually bring a tent and a cooler from outdoor adventures to selvadorada. I think you can also use items from snowy escape for food and stuff.
The aspirations are so OP. I think the archaeology one makes you a relic expert so people will send artifacts for you to authenticate then send back. I had a Sim make a fortune off that as you can easily get $2,000-4,000 per artifact.
I've never done the gameplay, but I've used the CAS and Build/Buy items. Now that I've seen more on it, I really want to give it go!
Whenever I've gone to the temple in this there's random children and toddlers around. Like who is leaving their children into the jungle???
I like the pack but I was expecting it to be more similar with the Sims 3 world adventures. I loved that one and tried to go through every temple in that. I feel like most of my Sims 3 play was done with it.
Jungle adventure was the first pack I ever bought, and it's definitely one of my favorites 😍 My biggest wish for this pack, is that it would be possible to live in this world! I'm so sad Selvadorada only is a vacation world 😟 And also Granite Falls... People do live in jungles and forests 😅🏞️
I've played sims all my life but haven't gotten into Sims 4 really, so I live through the youtubers, and I wasn't really in the lets play era of the beginning of sims 4 either, so i had literally never seen any of trhe gameplay from jungle adventure, I appreciate that you did the video!
I actually did this aspiration recently when my legacy sim married a sim that had it. I was surprised at how much I enjoyed it all these years later! Fun to watch you have similar reactions!
I like playing this pack. I usually do both of the aspirations at the same time, because they work well together.
Can you please make a video where you rank all death types?
Did you know you can live in selvadorada? (If you have paranormal stuffs-pack)
Choose a lot and set the lot-type to haunted house. Boom! You can live here now!
Ooh that is cool!
Yess, please do more videos like this. Now I really want to play in the jungle with my sims ❤️
I have recently played this again and its sooo good. At the market you can click the vendors and actually buy tents and stuff :)
The first time I played with this pack I didn’t realize everything could kill you and got super lucky so the second time I came back, I accidentally killed my sim bc he was set on fire with the fireflies except the game glitched so it took him like 3 days in game to die!!! And it was raining the whole time too, and I brought his wife in thinking that might help the death stop glitching. It was super tragic. It was during the Disney Princess challenge. If I remember correctly, it was Tiana’s father, so it was fitting.
I was going to get this one but bought Outdoor Retreat instead - I think I'd enjoy this though! The architecture and landscaping does indeed look great!
This is my go to pack for a calm, one Sim game play for just adventuring and earning simoleons. I go through the jungle then authenticate the artifacts then sell on a selling table. I make money at a steady pace and can build up my home from there. I also often create a museum and display artifacts and other collectables when using this pack.
Note: poisoning can be cured four ways: wait for it to go away or kill you; use a computer for an antidote; pray at the statue of the lady in the courtyard; or give ancient bone dust to a local for the antidote. You can get bone dust in the temple, but you can also buy it off the secret market at 5th Selvadoradian Culture skill from a local. Also, with the 5th level in culture, you can learn to Rhumba Sim (dance) buy other secret wares, buy secret menu foods, and prevent lightning bug attacks without deterrents or healing supplies.
When I first started playing the sims 4 I saw the pack and didn’t really think much of it and then over the years it has started growing on me and I think the next time the packs go on sale I’m going to get it hopefully!
This video is gonna come in bandy so much!! When they just gave us jungle adventure for free in a sale!!
Jungle Adventures is so much better than when it first came out. Combined with all the new features from later packs, it's an amazing adventure.
I bought jungle adventure exclusively for the tiles that came with it. I've never even been to the world because I always forget about it
As a latin, i still hate the fact that you can't live in the jungle. It's just ridiculous and kinda offensive to me, like i literally live in a place really similar to selva dorada, so, yeah. I'm really hoping they refresh that pack and add that.
I absolutely love jungle adventure and use it regularly in my gameplay. Since it's so helpful to have a lot of high skills when you're actually exploring, I usually have sims just go to "party" vacation there when they're young and in uni, or pretend foreign exchange in highschool or uni, stuff like that. Then when they're middle aged, or even elder sometimes (basically I wait until the kids have moved out, usually), I'll have them fully immerse in the experience. I like the challenge of having them complete both aspirations. Plus it's a fun way for me to have something kind of assigned to older sims in my game, since so far there isn't very much specifically for them in the game other than what we the players decide to assign to them. Anyway, that's how I like to use it, sorry for being long winded! 😅
I wish it wasn't just a vacation world, I always forget about it because it's in that tab but it's actually a really nice place to build.
Is Dan a fan of Star Wars? I would honestly like a video where you have someone play that is a fan of the franchise and see if that has an effect on their opinion. I’m a casual fan and I don’t get the hate the Star Wars pack gets. It can be fun, although it does seem kind of random for the Sims and I could do without the invitation every time you load up a new save.
Pretty much everyone I see who hates on the pack (in chats/comments, not creators) doesn't have it. They just hate on it because it's seen as the cool thing to do. I'm not a SW fan but the gameplay was fun enough for an afternoon and I LOVE the build buy.
I ABSOLUTELY LOVE JUNGLE ADVENTURE! I just wish you could live in the world 😭
When I start a new family, I always send my sim backwards and forwards to selvadora doing the temples and collecting artifacts to get money
Wow, I forgot how difficult jungle adventure is if you're unprepared. Plasma bats can be dodged with high fitness, bees and spiders are manageable with high logic, and selvadoradian firebugs and lightningbugs are confused by selvadoradian methods (you learn them by learning their culture)
Oooh I’m really excited to see jungle adventure gameplay it’s so rare to see❤
my favorite part of this pack is the floor tiles, i use them in my builds all the time!!
The build stuff in this pack is honestly great!😄
Jungle Adventures is one of my favourite packs. I play it often & always enjoy it.
I will agree that it is super fun and a great way to make a ton of money. That being said, it is gameplay that you have to seek out yourself. If you have Jungle Adventure and High School Years, your teens will gain some archaeology skill in class but it is mostly developed with the game pack options
I literally started playing jungle adventure 2 days ago also in like 5 years again.
Jungle adventure is my favorite gameplay. Love this pack sm
I love Jungle Adventure so much.
It's my favorite side quests, routine breaking pack to have, I do the collecting almost in every savefile! Yes, it is reapiting itself at some point, but as a collector I do it throughout generations so it's not like try to collect all at once 🎉
I absolutely love this pack! I wish you could live there though rather than just vacation, I think its a really pretty world
