Description
This is part of my Better Bon Voyage mod that will enhance some aspects of vacationing. Part 3 covers objects brought by said expansion pack, starting with the lucky shrine and the zen garden. More objects may be enhanced in future updates.

The lucky shrine has been enhanced with more diverse results - different blessings between community and residential lots and introduction of the very bad results for extracting agony... Far less unfair randomness, as the Aspiration bar is the primary deciding factor on the results.

The zen garden has been reworked entirely, starting with how most of the garden can be walked over. Raking the garden is made a group activity, where multiple Sims can chat together. The raking progression is gradual and applied to the whole garden, and no longer prevents furthur raking once completed, so as to allow its Want to be fulfilled more readily.

Part 1, Part 2
