I want to build my own resort, but I’ve never been good building a house! Thankfully, I followed a lot of advice from the Sims forums and Carl and my resort takes in over 8K a day. If I could I would do more to it, but I’m a bit of a lazy bones. I came here to look into building a resort so I’m excited for the new adventure.

Very straightforward and reflects my experience in resort ownership. I bought the super-cheap resort as a practice run and built it up. I just looked at my reviews and did what they indicated (gym stuff, more food choices) and made sure everything was at high/max shifts. I bought a wedding arch, both kinds of food stands (and max shifts on them and the pool bar), and put in video games and vending machines. Also I made sure to have a slide and waterfall for the pool. I didn’t monkey with the VIP room much; I rarely saw anybody use it really. I also upgraded that tower to max (btw: you can get the 7-day moodlet for the Soothing Salvation spa package with the tower for FREE once you add the spa).

I didn’t bother making the hot tub “hot” or the fire walk thingie “hot” but apparently I did okay with all the other stuff I did, because I hit 5 stars really quickly without spending too much money at all. Maybe it was that I didn’t set the price to “moderate” till I hit 4 stars and kept it there even past 4.5. Otherwise I didn’t really do much; I had to make the main building a little bigger to handle the extra buffet tables, but I didn’t edit the place much. Now I ignore the place except when I want to go hang out and swim/drink/socialize, and I rake in about 3800/day, which nicely supports my scuba diving habit…

Btw, now I understand what all you Sims 2 players are talking about with that “open for business” thing. Having a resort is a lot of fun 🙂
