Base camps are a variety of lot and a lot assignment that were introduced in The Sims 3: World Adventures and The Sims 3: Into the Future.
These lots act as a home for Sims on adventures or visiting the future. There is one base camp in every destination from World Adventures, and each one holds a noticeboard that generates new adventures. The noticeboard also acts a mailbox where sims can submit gems and other items for processing. Explorer NPCs also stay with you at the base camps. Creators using Create a World or NRaas Traveler can set lots to base camp, but the lot type serves little purpose in home worlds.
Into the Future's base camp does not include a noticeboard. Instead, Sims take future opportunities from Emit Relevart, the time traveler.

Shang Simla Base Camp[]

| Bedrooms | 5 |

| Occupants | Tourists |
| World | Shang Simla |
| Game | The Sims 3: World Adventures |
The base camp in Shang Simla has several floors, it is elevated into the hillside. There are bookshelves where Sims can read rare books without purchasing them. It has an excellent view of the Dragon Cave, and is located near the river.
Its main kitchen has a functioning stove, something very rarely found or allowed on public lots.
By default, the stairs leading up to (and down from) the 1st floor can be fairly long for player Sims to traverse, plausibly costing them time in heading down to other lots. Skilled players can choose to replace the stairs with sloped terrain through enableLotLocking on.
The Sims 3: Into the Future camps[]
Oasis Landing Base Camp[]
 Community Living Center
| |
|---|---|
| |
| Type | Base camp
|
| Unfurnished lot value | §272,466 |
| Furnished lot value | §390,436 |
| Lot size | 60x40 |
| N° of floors | 6 |
| Bedrooms | 7 |
| Bathrooms | 10 |
| Occupants | Emit Relevart, townies, and tourists |
| Neighborhood | Downtown (Oasis Landing) |
| World | Oasis Landing |
| Game | The Sims 3: Into the Future |
The Community Living Center is the default base camp for Oasis Landing, also has five floors. It includes many furnitures for Sims, especially the time portal that is on the fourth floor. It has an excellent view of the city hall and also one of the largest buildings.
While it by default has 8 double beds (All of them dream pods) and 2 Plumbot charging stations, it is not uncommon to find all 8 beds occupied when a Sim is sleepy.
All the objects that Sims can pick up here, like hoverboards or jetpacks, become part of their inventory without charge. That makes the base camp a good place to obtain objects of the future for free.
Though there is an indoor music stage that fits 1 guitar and 1 laser rhythm-a-con, it would take imfeasibly heavy modifications to host instrumental gigs[TS3:LN] on it, while fitting a show stage[TS3:ST] is borderline impossible.

Notes[]
If the sole base camp of a vacation world is deleted, most commonly through means of testingcheatsenabled on → enablelotlocking on, the game will refuse to "Return to Game" or to change to another world's Edit Town mode unless a new base camp is built.
NRaas Traveler prevents the message from showing up, as it allows Sims to rent any unoccupied residential lot during their stay.
