New Game Options
Building On Water
Island Paradise will allow players to enjoy a new variety of building options, including using stilted foundations to build on water, new blueprints to build complex pools quickly, and even raising the ground around foundations to reduce the number of steps necessary to reach the ground. It also will allow players to construct houseboats, using special floating foundations for them.
But, players also have new options for where they build. In addition to resorts and home lots, which can be partly to mostly in the water, players can also build private lots, which act as homes-away-from-home. A private lot can even be a houseboat, allowing a player to have both a permanent residence and a houseboat for vacation purposes. In addition, any islands players discover and roll back the fog on will become private lots for them, allowing players to build on them as they automatically own the island.
Note: Houseboat bases can be 10×8, 15×10, 20×15, 14×6, or 12×8. Houseboats with curved bows are 14×6 or 12×8. Houseboat walls can be built up to the edge of the platform, but you need a 3×2 space cleared so you can fish. If you choose to buy a premade houseboat instead, the largest is 9,000 simoleons and the smallest is free.
If you use ladders on a houseboat to save space, remember they can only connect two levels and they need space on one side or the other for a sim to climb to.
————————————————————————————————————————————-
Building Resorts
The first thing any player needs to know before constructing a resort is that all resorts require a resort tower rabbit hole, which exists in case players forget to include things such as bathrooms and which serve to both control what amenities you place and how many sims can stay at the resort. The resort tower rabbit holes can be upgraded by players, improving their quality, and even gain special options inside them once upgraded.
Resorts can be constructed entirely by hand, or a player can lay down special blueprints that cover rooms, amenities, and pools. Items such as the pool slide can be set down separately, but can also be found within amenity blueprints when those are used. Fire walk pits can also be laid down at a player’s discretion. Otherwise, construction of resorts is no different from construction or houses or player-built commercial lots.
Resorts can only be constructed and operated in main worlds; they will not work in World Adventure worlds or in University.
Resort towers are 4×8, 13×8, 9×29, or 16×22. They come in beach tower, Spanish, or Modern styles.
————————————————————————————————————————————-
Underwater Exploration
Island Paradise also introduces the new features of snorkeling and scuba-diving, which allow a sim to explore under the waves and potentially find sunken treasure, underwater caves, islands, or even mermaids.
————————————————————————————————————————————-
Water Transportation
Between houseboats and speed boats, players will have access to water transportation not seen before. Sims can take houseboats out on the waves, moving from open port to open port, while service sims and even normal sims just trying to reach the houseboat can make use of speedboats to surf across the waves. Other forms of water transportation include sailboats, paddleboats, rowboats, aquasleds, and waterskiing or windsurfing for the truly adventurous.
————————————————————————————————————————————-
New Town
Unlike other worlds, which are entirely or primarily connected, Isla Paradiso will be a series of disconnected islands, which one main one and a lot of small ones scattered throughout. It has been confirmed people will live on the smaller islands.
————————————————————————————————————————————-

New Careers
♦ Lifeguard – Life guards are a new career devoted to rescuing drowning sims. They sit on beaches, scanning the water for those who are drowning, and swim out to drag the person back to the beach and performing CPR if needed. Sometimes, the drowning person is faking it.
————————————————————————————————————————————-
Life on the Open Sea
Much of Island Paradise is focused on living on the open sea, and the houseboats themselves are both ocean-going vessel and permanent residence. In general, a houseboat resembles a house built to float on land, and they are designed to both allow all of the same amenities and such as a normal house, but with the added advantage that players can move them around the world at the player’s leisure. A houseboat can be parked at dock, move from dock to dock, or even just sit out in the middle of the water.
Activities aboard a houseboat, whether it is moving or still, are limited only by what a sim could do in a normal home of the same design. Whether the houseboat is in motion or docked, a sim is free to do anything from call for service to watch television to fish off the back off it to cook a meal; the only limit is what the design of the home itself allows them to do. They can even take a dive into the water around the houseboat and swim around, though this does leave the option of the sims being stranded there if the houseboat itself takes off.
Sims are also not isolated from the world, even while parked in the middle of the ocean; calling for repair, pizza delivery, or any other kind of service will cause service sims to come, taking speedboats to reach the houseboat when they can’t by land, and the service sims will provide service and such even while the houseboat is mobile. Sims can also use speedboats and other watercraft to head back to land, such as for things like jobs, or for cases when they go for a swim and the houseboat driver decides to leave them behind.
Players can also discover islands while they are out exploring. Islands that can be discovered are hidden by mist and, once found, become a private lot owned by the player. The player can immediately build on a discovered island and use it as a vacation home, or use it for anything else the player wants. It is the player’s island to do with as they wish.
Those wishing more familiar adventures can still go water skiing or wind surfing.
Oh, and life on the sea may not be entirely safe… There’s always the kraken to worry about.
Underwater Adventures
In addition to what can be done above the waves, sims now have options below; they can scuba dive to explore beneath the waves and hunt down treasure, explore ancient ruins, or even potentially meet mermaids. Snorkeling is another option for exploration.
Note that scuba diving is not perfectly safe either; if a sim is down there too long, they can run out of air and die. They can also encounter marine life, some of which may be dangerous.
Also, note that scuba diving is limited to dive lots; you cannot scuba dive anywhere you please, but only on those special lots.
Resort Management
Players can run nearly all aspects of their resorts, doing everything from choosing how the resort is decorated and what amenities it offers to choosing what the drink specials are and how employees dress. The only limit to amenities is the resort tower rabbithole, which can be upgraded. Amenities themselves help improve a resort, making it more attractive, but amenities and improvements also cost money to keep operational, though players can choose to run the resorts with just themselves and their families to save money. The professional bars from Late Night also count as amenities for resorts. Employees can be hired to do everything from man pool bars to clean and repair the resort, and how many employees a resort has as well as what the employee uniforms are depends entirely upon the player. Players can also set prices for items, allowing them to set how much sims staying at the resort have to pay, and set certain rooms as VIP rooms with each having their own unique key to gain entry. In addition, players can also set up housing for sims who stay at the resort, with the only limit being the space a player has on the resort itself.
Note that not taking care of cleaning up trash on a resort can cause a roach infestation. And, it is possible to have too much chlorine in a pool.
Also, sadly, no restaurant-style resorts; food is provided by resort buffet tables and food stands.
The rating of the resort itself, up to five stars, helps determine how much money it can bring you.
And, for sims who don’t feel like running a resort, there is always just staying at one and letting another sim run it.
Life’s A Beach
No island paradise would be complete without beach activities. In the case of Island Paradise, these activities, in addition to swimming and sunbathing on a lounge chair, include sunbathing on beach towels and splashing each other in the water or even building a sandcastle. And even toddlers get to have some fun! There’s even a special greeting that can be used in this paradise!
And, while relaxing, there’s even new radio stations to listen to for if your sims want music to accompany their beach stay!
————————————————————————————————————————————-
New Creature/Lifestate
Island Paradise has been confirmed to feature mermaids as the new lifestate; sims can transform into mermaids. Mermaids will not be attacked by the creature in the underwater cave. Mermaids can be make or female, and female mermaids will wear seashell bras.
