Whenever you place an amenity, for example a buffet table, a blue plus sign will temporarily pop up to show you that you are gaining star points. There will be an icon with palm trees and what I think is a moon behind them, and this category is 100% amenities. All of these can be found in build mode’s “categories” if you scroll down on the list. Amenities are things you would want to see at a hotel in real life, something that makes it prettier, etc. (:Īmenities are a necessary part, if even crucial way, to getting stars. Enough with the ****! Ironically, those little * are stars of their own.
The more stars your hotel has, the more *paying* sims come to your hotel, the more *money* you make, the more stars you get, the more sims come to your hotel… you see how it is a *prosperous* cycle. If you serve high quality food, have plenty of staff, and many amenities like a big pool, a gym, a dining hall ,wedding chapel, etc., you accumulate stars. Your hotel gets a rating of however many stars based on its amenities and quality. We all dream of five-star hotels in real life, don’t we? So who’s to say you can’t build a virtual one? – Sims will flock to your resort naturally… if it has a high rating. At first, when I though about getting one, I was worried I would have to live on that lot, and thought, “I don’t want to open a resort if I have to leave everything I have now behind!” But you don’t! You can still live in a house and have a regular life, and a resort is kind of like a job from Ambitions- you can work there, make progress, and interact with your sim all you want, but you don’t have to stay there for a certain number of work hours or pick up jobs from other sims around town. The good news about owning a resort is that you don’t have to move there. A little rinky-dink at first, but it can be spiced up with amenities.
