FEATURES
• Set sail for adventure
Your Sims can now take off across the waves to discover new islands and explore like never before, whether by paddleboat, speedboat, or fully customizable houseboat! What will you discover?
• Build the best resort in the islands
Specialize in waterslides and buffet tables to attract families, build pool bars where single Sims can meet and flirt, or create a romantic retreat dotted with bungalows. How you choose your amenities and set your prices will affect your reviews and profits. Get a high enough star rating, and you’ll soon be rolling in Simoleons!
• Dive into the blue
See what surprises await beneath the sea! As your Sims build their snorkeling and scuba diving skills, they may find themselves on the shore of a new island or discover a long-lost treasure.
• Boat sweet boat
Whether your Sims love the water or just love exploring, there is a range of fully customizable houseboats that can be moored at any open port. If your Sims tire of the view, they can just cruise on to a new locale!
• Build over the water
New stilted foundations give your Sims the best of both worlds—a home that’s partially on the water and partially on land. Build a resort, create travelling houseboats, and customize your very own island paradise for your Sims!
ISLAND SURVIVAL PACK
The Island Survival Pack equips your Sims with the necessities to scrape together an existence on a deserted island, fashion a makeshift home on a floating barge, build and escape to a minimalist retreat in the middle of the ocean—or enjoy these back-to-basic pieces in the comfort of civilization! With more items than any previous Limited Editions from The Sims™ 3, your Sim will have everything they need to sport that island survival look, from tattered togs to shipwreck-inspired furnishings. With the Island Survival Pack, your Sims will be ready to simplify their lives in an island paradise!
• The stories of paradise lost…and found
From telling the tale of your Sims stranded at sea to decorating an austere stilted home, you can build and play out new stories that show off a different side of island paradise.
• Bring the island into your Sim’s home
Furnish their homes with one-of-a-kind shipwrecked-chic items. Your Sims can drift off to a perfect night’s sleep in a canopy bed, made of repurposed driftwood.
• More Limited Edition content than ever before
Packed full of clothing, furniture, and décor options that will allow you to extend the way you play with your own island paradise.
CARNAVAL COSTUMES PACK
• Fiesta Goddess Costume
Dress up (or down, rather) for the wildest fiesta to ever hit the islands. Your female Sim will be the life of the party in her fabulously feathery new festival outfit.
• Perfect Plumage Costume
Your male Sim can strut like a peacock—or is it like a quetzal?—in his ostentatious Carnaval costume. This costume will have your Sim dressed to take on the island in true party spirit!
