So far our Sims have built a better house than us, earned a better degree and bought a much funkier sofa. Now, as we sit at a PC on a grim morning, they're going on vacation.

Luckily, this expansion pack does the series proud. Of the three holiday locations, Takemizu Village is the sort of place you'd spot Brad and Angelina window shopping for kiddies, all temples and culture, Three Lakes is fresh air and good clean fun, but Twikki Island is the best - if only for its giant pirate ship where you can treasure hunt, practice your sword skills and explore the Ancient Nunchuck Ruins.
