    in The Sims 3 Store General Discussion
    I had tried to make a camping grounds resort and should have realised that camping really isn't camping related so thought it would be great to have a store set that would make this possible :)


    I use to love camping as a kid and loved to make camping grounds with bon voyage and my Sims 3 game is missing it

      That would be a lot of fun, this featured in both Sims1 and 2, really hope they'll consider doing this.
      Tents and singing round the campfire! :)

      How is it that you couldn't make a campground? I've made several in my game.

      Never alone Pinks!!

      I'd love for my sims to go camping. They already have tents, fire pits, bonfires.
      HI! My name is SimsAddiction968
      I discovered Sims 1 summer 2001 when my youngest was 1 yr old.
      I bought all Eps & Sps for Sims 2 as they were released.
      I even bought Sims games for our consoles and handhelds.
      I have bought all Sims 3 Eps & Sps as the were released.
      I have held my grandson while playing. He is now 5 and plays FreePlay.
      I have pre ordered Sims 4. I have the Sims 2 mouse and waiting on Sims 4 mouse.
      I have a Freezer Bunny tattoo and a bracelet tattoo of the Sims 2 aspirations.

      YES! I am addicted to The Sims no matter the form.

      We have sleeping bags, tents, fire pits, fishing poles, picnic baskets so what else do we need to go camping?

      I'm curious too... I have had no problems creating a campground where other Sims have visited. I have also turned one into a resort that worked very well. I did use CC tower rabbit hole rugs so it would work properly. So is that all you are asking for is new towers so it will function like a resort and fit the theme? Sorry if that's the case I'm not interested in purchasing bulky towers that are not customizable when I can use rugs and create my own. I would love to see a wish list because other than towers I'm confused what exactly you are asking for.

      I couldn't place tents on lots that were resorts even with the towers :(

      I did have the towers on the lot so am not sure why it didn't work maybe there is something I am not doing or maybe you have mods in your game

      We do have a current mix of things for camping, the tents, the sleeping bags, the outdoor showers etc. But it would be nice to have:

      1. Hammocks - In 3 styles
      A. With Palm Trees
      B. With a plain frame
      C. With Pine trees

      2. Adirondack Style rocking chairs

      3. The log roll from Bon Voyage

      4. The big hot Springs from Bon Voyage

      5. The spit from Sims Medieval

      6. I cannot recall if we have these already but if we don't the Port a Potties & Outhouses

      That would be awesome but don't we already have tents? What kind of camping are you thinking of? You could still make a camping ground! Some tents came with World Adventures and i'm suire Island Paradise too! Also you can place down a big bonfire that came with University! :-)

      IP has the all in one bathroom. I frequently place those on my festival lots to use as porta potties. I think outhouses were mentioned in the western part of the upcoming Movie Stuff pack.... I found that odd since we don't usually get interactive items in stuff packs....but I guess it wouldn't really be different than adding a regular toilet in a stuff pack.

      When I build a campground I add small buildings that act as public restroom and shower houses. Not all campgrounds have porta potties.

      I love camping so much! I remember one campground I went to that I cant get out of my head. I would love to try and recreate it but I'm not good at building/making lots. I agree with others that we do have a lot of stuff we can use for camping. I need to keep an eye out for some really good camping lots that other simmers made. Crystal Lake would be a good one! *hint hint* ;-)

      I knew we had the all in one bathroom I used them quite a bit on Isla but I was thinking port a potties that were blue or green and looked like port a potties. Same also with the Outhouses. I hope we get them in the next stuff pack that would be great for campgrounds

      I think a camping ground venue or set would be great for the store, as the store is meant to compliment the Base Game. It does not take into account expansions.
      For example you could buy the Magic items such as the cauldron or spell book, but never have Supernatural.
      For those without WA and/or IP this would be a great edition.

      for the families to know they are camping..half your family go home and sims who do visit the lot do not camp there..they go home. It is a struggle to get a very large sim family to all camp together...so not quite the camping experience I was looking for..but yeah, ya can build a cute camp ground.

      I've built my own campgrounds too and I have one in my studio but it's just not the same as the camping experience. My Sims certainly aren't aware of the fact they are supposed to be camping and having fun. LOL.

      ah. I see the problem now. Camping isn't something I really think about doing outside of world adventures but it would be nice to have a lot that you could designate as a campground. I looked around a bit and realized that you can't place the tents from your inventory or place the tents you find in debug on a community lot. They show up as a closed bag. So EA needs to unlock the tent for us. I know of mods out there that allow you to place a tent but this shouldn't be our only option.
