The Sims 2: Bon Voyage/Vacation Benefits

During any vacations taken by your Sims, a hidden score is maintained throughout. At the end of the vacation, this score is added together and averaged. Although you never see this score, the score itself makes an impact because it results in what benefits your Sims earn.

The score runs from -100 to 100, and getting a score of 25 or more will give your Sim at least one benefit, whilst getting a score of -25 or less will result in a negative effect such as Jetlag.

The effects of certain events on the vacation score is shown in the table below:
