"Simple" does not mean you have to give up "Luxury".
Some people stay on very long "getaways" while traveling overseas in places like Egypt.
On shorter jaunts it is easy to keep occupied, and require little domestic logistics at the same time.
As your Sims develope, they may reach a point where there are a few more things they need to prosper abroad.
More importantly, the last thing you need to give up when on the road is luxury.
When "living out of a backpack" no longer serves your better purpose, but a fullscale house is no more necessary, then you can consider a retreat like this residence. This "open-air" house provides everything the seasoned traveler needs when away from home.
Egyptian Vacation Residence:http://www.thesims3.com/assetDetail.html?assetId=4097800
The bedroom is adequately furnished to supply a good night's sleep.
It also provides stunning night-time views of the Sphynx and two Pyramids.
The residence supports a full kitchen assortment and dining for six.
The single enclosed bathroom has every necessity covered.
I have included a small cellar for nectar, and a decent place to catch up on some entertainment.
Not showcased in these pictures, are a skill's developement area, meditation area and ample room for a hobby garden for your rare fruits when not at home.
NO CUSTOM CONTENT ... but obviously World Adventures and Ambitions Expansion Packs Required.
Stop by my studio if you are interested, and I look forward to any comments on possible revisions to improve the design.
I eat pickles on my hamburgers ... MWWAHAHAHAHA

Thanks for the advice on colors ... but that usually spells disaster for me.
When I experement with colors, textures and designs, it usually looks like a mess.
Example from my Sunset Valley Home ... a display in the basement.
I better stick with the clean lines and "Spartan" design techniques.
Thanks Again for the recs imoger and yanti68 ... Greatly Appreciated!
I don't think that looks like a mess. You could deepen the colors in the rug, that will help "soften" the look of the room.
Gave you a well deserved rec.

By the time you reach the required visa level, I will probably be finished.
Yes ... It is true I haven't spent all my time painting in my underwear on the roof at the Greenbelt Lot.
Upgrades Include:
I have taken time to planet a hobby garden that will be included in the next upload.
The garden has Life Plants, and both Gralladina and Cranerlet Grapes (all at perfect quality).
I also included a small office, and large storage/work-space.
This space allows for more "skills' advancement" options, and even includes a built-in "teleportation booth", and we all know how handy that can come in while in Egypt.
I will notify you when the property has been uploaded in it's revised version.
Edit: Oooops ... I forgot to add not to worry about the price of the house.
If you can afford the initial cost, the Nectar in the cellar is probably worth far more than the cost of the house (some bottles are worth more than 2000 simoleons each).
I will say in advance that items have been added to the revised version that are rewards from some of the Adventures. I have no idea how this may result in your gameplay, so if you are nervous about it, simply remove the items in "Buy Mode" prior to moving in. Items include, but are not limited to, the Axe of Pangu (hanging on wall in work area) and Eyes of Horus (in the teleporter booth). All other items are in the three treasure chests in the Nectar Cellar.
I am not saying it will be a problem ... I just don't know if it will.
With no further delay, the Revised Version of the Lot is now available at my studio.

Some of the changes are simple cosmetics and added art and such.
Some improvements involve added accessories, and more skill opportunities.
As well as the added work space, and the teleporter I gave a peek at in the earlier post, I added an office too.
I hope the place works out for you, and during testing it worked fine for me.
I always appreciate any comments on design or ideas for improvement ... Enjoy!
Have A Great Day Simming!
