Trippy Batuu
…we were back at home, and I had returned to that reassuring but profoundly unsatisfactory state known as ‘being in one’s right mind. -Aldous Huxley
Requirement
The requirement for this optional package is Journey to Batuu.
I am sure I am not the only one that feels as if this world is just… off… not only in terms of the game’s lore, but what is it exactly? Is it a theme park? Is it an actual alien world? And why in the world should I be able to access it from the Vacation tab on my phone…?
Anyways, the only way this world makes sense to me personally is if it is a trippy world that Sims only can access by the use of extremely potent psychedelics, namely Ayahuasca.
Vacation Destination
With this optional package installed Batuu will no longer be accessible as a Vacation destination. That is, it will appear as a vacation world, but there won’t be any option to actually travel there.
Trippy World
To gain access to Batuu, get a hold of some Ayahuasca from a Shaman, and if you get to experience the whole “Close your Eyes and Drift Away” part of the trip, navigate through the adventure text successfully and you’ll get transported to the trippy world of Batuu.
If your trip was about to run out you will get quite a few hours worth more of tripping once you arrive, both to emulate time distortion on psychedelics, and to give you some additional time to experience that trippy world.
Once in Batuu you will also notice that your phone interactions are disabled, to avoid travelling back home. Once the trip runs out, however, you will get transported back home.
