Island Living

  1. Release date: June 21, 2019
  2. DLC type: expansion
  3. The most important changes: tropical island and the mermaid race
  4. A new way to kill a sim: devoured by a shark, drowned in the ocean by a siren, burned down on touching a hot stone
  5. Consider buying if you want: vacation and summer to last all year round; be a mermaid

Sims have a very hard life often. And this someone will take the ladder from the pool, and at other times he will be completely surrounded by high walls by accident. No wonder he deserves a vacation every now and then. These can be spent on one of the picturesque beaches of the tropical archipelago. There are also no obstacles for him to stay there for longer and build a villa for himself.

Island life is a powerful extension introducing Sulani's sunny location. This one offers a lot of attractions related to "beaching" and more. In addition to lounging on a sun lounger and sipping cold drinks with a sim palm tree, he has a chance, among others, learn about a new culture, go sailing in the ocean with a sailboat and jet ski, and go diving . The last one is - apart from fishing and water rescue - a new part-time job. You can also prove yourself as an ecologist cleansing the beaches and caring for the flora and fauna of the island.

The news does not end there. One of the most important is the option of creating a mermaid . The features of the new race are revealed only after entering the teenage period, and the physical transformation into a woman / man or a fish occurs when the sim is told to swim. Among the special powers of the siren and the siren, there is the possibility to charm other characters. With the flick of a fin, you can make someone fall in love with you or force him to enter the waters of the ocean and never come back. Mermaids also have power over fish and the weather.

BUT IT HAPPEN?

The claim that Island Living is a copy of The Sims 3 Paradise Island expansion pack is very close to the truth. Both expansions have introduced a tropical location, have converging sand-lounging and water-splashing activities, and added the mermaid race. The same are also part-time activities and even new ways to kick the calendar. The biggest difference? In the DLC for the "three" we also got the opportunity to run our own resort.

From the minor elements in Island life you can find, among others typical beach clothes, new plants, several ready-made rooms and over 100 new objects in the buy mode. Unfortunately, there were no screens among them, which could be used to fence a beach.
