The Sims Vacation Interaction Guide Copyright 2002 Wraith10 wraith_10_@hotmail.com Version 2.2 =============================================================================== Distribution Info ----------------- You may use this FAQ for yourself personally, make copies for your friends, or host it on web pages provided NO MONEY is made off this FAQ. If you choose to post it in a public domain (webpage) please send me an email detailing the Webpage location and a contact email for yourself so that I can ensure you will always have the most recent copy available. I reserve the right to ask for the removal of this FAQ from any page deemed offensive. =============================================================================== Purpose ------- The purpose of this guide is to give a detailed account of all possible sim interactions in the game. An interaction is any action that appears on the pie menus when you click on another sim. In The Sims Hot Date and The Sims Vacation these interactions are grouped under categories such as "hug or kiss". Each category contains the individual actions like "Peck or Passionate". The reason this guide is not a complete record of ALL actions is that actions vary depending on your sim's mood and the other sim's mood, that means that it is very hard to make sure that you account for all actions. That's why I would appreciate it if you would send in any new interactions that you find. =============================================================================== Your Job -------- Send in any information that you have that belongs in this FAQ. Including corrections, additions, and observations. I know I can not possibly have accounted for every interaction and I'm counting on you to help make this guide complete. Once again thanks for all the submissions I have received, it is only through you guys that this guide continues to grow more complete and helpful for everyone. =============================================================================== Contact Me ---------- Let me know if you if you find any mistakes in the guide, or if you have anything you want added or clarified. Please write "Sims V FAQ" or something like that in the subject line of your message or most likely it will be deleted as junk mail. If you do not receive a reply within 2 weeks this likely happened and you can resubmit the tip. Please do not submit codes, ask for serial numbers, or request technical support.

All of my sim games run fine and I likely do not know how to fix your problem. If you have any problems with a sim game you should read the manuals and documentation that came with your name, visit the official web site, or find a support board. Secondly I will NEVER EVER give ANYONE ANY serial number for ANY reason. I am tired of telling people this and will no longer be sending them a politely worded email to this effect, any additional requests for serial numbers will be forwarded to Maxis' piracy department! I don't care why you say you need a serial number, if you have a genuine reason technical support should be able to help you. If you have a pirated copy and that's why you have no serial number I am not about to help you by giving you mine! =============================================================================== Interactions ------------ Main Categories: What you click to bring up the individual interactions.
