I ‘d love to see them opening up the world in Jungle Adventure to living there. Maybe they could add being able to live there after you have developed the culture or something? I so badly want one of my sims to be able to live in one of the lots. Also I think we should be able to visit both Jungle adventure lots and Outdoor retreat lots without having to pay to spend the night there. The other thing it would be nice to add to both Jungle adventure and Outdoor retreat is swimming in the water in the lakes of rivers. ( at least a certain area of them ). Being able to use the boat from island living there would be nice there too.

@Briana2425 I like your idea as well, never thought about it until now. a hiking trail in these worlds would be awesome.
the way all worlds can be vacation worlds now it feels like unneeded restriction to not be able to live in these worlds
like sure sims can just own empty lot and keep vacationing constantly but its kind of annoying

Modders made it possible to reside in Selvadorada, so I don't see why it should be a big job for EA to make the same change.
About mountain climbing and hiking trails, they were both features of other packs, and I don't mind them staying that way. I like to have unique reasons for visiting/playing each world, rather than "all" features being made BG free. If making a JA refresh there could be added some sightseeing tour etc though, maybe a NPC guide leading a small group into the first few levels of the jungle, or even just walking in the open hoods, too. Might be harder relating to original community lots though, as many of us do change the lot content over time.
I don’t expect them to change the jungle part, just the individual lots. And maybe add some swimming area like where you can fish by the dock.
The problem is that they would have to change the jungle part- it’s coded around the fact that sims can only visit while on vacation, so accessible areas change each time, gates reset between vacations etc. If sims can live in the world (or visit at any time without booking a rental lot) this mechanic doesn’t work. Allowing sims to live in the world would require a fundamental overhaul of how the jungle actually works. It’s ok in a mod because users can accept the trade-off that another feature will not work as intended, but that’s not ok in a game update.
Ok, I see where you are coming from.
I would love another world like the one in Jungle adventure that we could live in….
That's a fair point, and one I had not considered before. However, it seems like this possibly could be addressed by having the change in the jungle accessible areas triggered by taking a vacation, whereas it would remain static for sims who chose to live there on a residential lot or just visit other lots.
Just in case everyone is not aware, now that we have rental lots, your sims can still choose the "take a vacation" option, but it is now available for any world that currently has a rental lot, not just the original vacation worlds.
So I could see it working something like this:
1) Your sim lives in Selvadorada: the jungle park areas do not change (at least unless/until triggered by another sim taking a vacation if you rotate to another household).
2) Your sim lives in another world, but just travels to the bar, for example: the jungle areas do not change.
3) Your sim lives in another world, selects take a vacation, and then takes a vacation to a rental lot in Selvadorada: the jungle areas DO change.
I don't know how hard or easy that would actually be to change, but it does seem like an option, at least. For that matter, for all I know, maybe that's already what triggers the change to the jungle area?
ETA: in that case, even your sims who lived in that world would still be able to access changed jungle areas by simply temporarily renting a rental lot. I.e., taking a "staycation" in their own world.
Maybe they could make it when you first enter the jungle where a pop up comes up asking if you want the jungle to change.
I think there are 5 layouts, currently, but you can't change them.
