Escape from the hustle and bustle of the city and camp out in a Tent! Your next 5-star getaway might be under the stars.

🏕️ Camping Tents can be set as a Rentable Object and will claim a 5 meter radius around the tent as the Campsite area. Objects within the radius will be considered part of the "Suite" and is calculated as part of its total value. 

DLC is required to use this feature. Tents are included in Outdoor Retreat (Easy Camper Tent, Cabin-in-a-Bag), Snowy Escape (Canvas Cabin), or Journey to Batuu (Resistance Tent). The Fantastical Play Tent from Dream Home Decorator can be used as an additional bed for children and toddlers within the campsite of a normal Tent.

Place the new Trailhead Check-In Sign as an alternative to the Concierge Bell. Guests can check in without a receptionist, and all other guest/management interactions are available on the sign.

• You can mix and match and have Tents + Suites on the lot. You could claim a cabin for the parents, but also "Claim an Additional Campsite" to give the kids a tent.

• Shift+Click the ground and Toggle Debug Visualizations to show a circle around the designated radius while building.

• You can increase individual campsite sizes to Medium (6.5 meters) or Large (8 meters). Both upgrades will increase the Daily Rate of the site.

• If campsite areas overlap, sims will be able to use those shared objects when checked into either site.

• Owners cannot claim Tents at this time.

• Tents hold 1-4 people depending on the size. Place cots, sleeping bags, or beds/cribs/etc in the campsite and additional sims will be able to check-in! Just note you should give them a place on the lot to stay sheltered in bad weather if they do not have space in a tent.

• All Room Services are available to a Tent. Staff will Holler for Entry at the tent flap and perform their tasks like delivering platters to picnic tables, cleaning up the area, or fixing broken objects.

• Housekeeping will not perform daily rounds to Tents as their general cleanup duties will take care of it.

• If you do not have a toilet or shower on the lot, Sims will attempt to search the open street for public bathrooms but will return back to the lot. 

• Lazy sims will be 90% less likely to reserve a tent, including Sims with the Sedentary lifestyle. High Maintenance sims will be 50% less likely, including Sims with the Indoorsy lifestyle. Adventurous, Rancher and Loves Outdoors Sims will be 150% more likely to reserve a tent, including Sims with various outdoorsy aspirations and lifestyles too.

Gallery Lot Type Change

Hotels uploaded to the Gallery will now maintain the Hotel Lot Type and the lot type will appear in filters! Thanks amethystlilac for blowing my mind that this was possible.

I've updated the lot type name to include (Suite Life) to differentiate from any other custom lot types, or if EA ever releases their own.

Travel From Destination to Destination

You can now Check In to other Hotels within residential worlds without ending your original vacation and traveling home first.

Traveling to and from an "incompatible region" will automatically end your vacation when you travel due to EA systems anyway. Incompatible regions would be like traveling from destination worlds like Granite Falls to a residential world, or vice versa. (Chipped Sim's Region Tweaks mod could also cause this to happen based on settings)

Additional Changes & Fixes

• Added a new Hotel Setting to limit guests based their connection to the realm of the living. Choose Ghosts Only, Alive Only, or No Preference. The default value has been set to Alive Only.

• The Late Night shift is now available on the Concierge Bell without the 24 Hour Perk to match the original gameplay allowing 24 hour concierge.

• Massage Chairs and Tables now have the ability to control staffing and operating hours individually!

  • Spa Staff can be requested to other objects without turning them on, so this is really a way to control the number of staff.

  • Because many Spa builds on the gallery have many spa objects, the Hire Staff to Tend Object Toggle will be off by default. Once you've added the Spa Services perk, enable staffing on a massage chair or table.

  • If no objects are enabled for staffing and a guest has requested room spa service, a spa staff member will be summoned to the lot for the service.

• Fixed swimming exceptions, especially bad on oceanfront lots

• Porter work schedules will now match the Operating Hours settings for Chefs and will stay on the lot until all food is prepared and delivered.

• If all Porters have left for some reason and a chef has completed an order, a porter will be summoned to fulfill the deliveries even if its outside operating hours to prioritize smoother gameplay.

• Staff will no longer derail and Shoo misbehaving sims to their room when they have a task to do.

• Fixed Claim an Additional Room not properly assigning sims and parent room after Hotel Ownership public release.

• Fixed Go Inside interaction no longer appearing/working on doors after Hotel Ownership public release. Guests would also ditch their suitcases immediate after check in instead of dropping them off as before. Still working through the group leader never dropping it off.
