Welcome to Sulani
Ahhhh, Sulani! Where the waters are warm and clear, the kava is flowing, and the locals are ready to give you a warm welcome to their island. Speaking of the locals, you’ll want to get to know them, because the inhabitants of Sulani aren’t your typical run-of-the-mill premade Sims. On Sulani, the people value community and building close-knit relationships. That means the people of Sulani will often make your business their business. From giving you a warm island welcome when you arrive, to helping you out with tasks around the island, to running into your home to help put out a fire, it pays to get to know your neighbours here.
The Ngata Household
Household Description
Coming to Sulani for inspiration Leila didn’t expect to fall in love so deeply with the islands. And it wasn’t just the scenery that she fell for, but also for Oliana and her son Tane that welcomed her so easily into their family. The three are now an inseparable trio that call Sulani their home enjoying the sand and ocean at their own pace.

Household Notes
- The Ngata household lives at Reef Finery in the Lani St. Taz district of Sulani.
- The Ngata household is the first premade household in The Sims 4 to feature an openly lesbian couple.
- Even though Oliana and Leila are married, they have different surnames. It appears Leila did not change her surname when she married Oliana.
- Leila is featured in the official reveal trailer. Oliana and Tane can both be spotted briefly in the background of the trailer as well.
- Curiously, there is nothing in the Ngatas’ home that match the interests of the Sims living there. There is no workout equipment for Oliana, no easel or artwork for Leila, and no mentally stimulating activities for Tane.
Thanks so much for the in-depth details as always! A lot of these households sound incredibly heartwarming 🙂
I love that they’re adding LGBTQ+ couples and sims in the game! The sims has always made progress with that subject and I think its wonderful!!
AH! I was already planning a sort of love story between Scuba boy (that I now know is called Makoa) and our beautiful mermaid Nalani! XD Now I find out he HAS A WIFE AND A KID!! I dunno if I should laugh or cry!… lmao
I know right I was thinking the exact same thing
Break them up. Steal her man. >:)
At first I was also going to do that (match them up when I saw the trailer) but then “reality” hit with the wife and kids so I thought about having both husband and wife entering a relationship with her instead since I’ve already done a few affairs and never explored a poly sims relationship before. I plan to use WW so the jealousy factor doesn’t play in.
Lol, Nalani really man stealer
I’ve decided that Lilliana is going to have an unfortunate mermaid-related accident in my game.

Leila Illes. In catalan (I’m from Catalonia) “illes” means “islands”. I don’t think that surname it’s a coincidence, but I will like to know who picked that name and where it came from. Also my dog’s name is Leyla lol
it probably took the gurus ten seconds to make these families. stop looking for deeper meaning.
Stop crapping on other people’s passion. 🙂
Bob is right anyways. These sims don’t look like someone worked real hard on them.
There is no Nalani? :c
“Don’t see your favourite Sim from the trailer here? Look for them around Sulani! There are only 4 premade households living in lots on Sulani, but the mermaid Sim from the trailer along with other Sims (some of them mermaids as well!) can be seen wandering around as townies. Befriend them and move them in if you like!”
She’s in the game! Just not living on a lot. I couldn’t find her in the homeless townie section of Manage Households, but I did see her wandering around Sulani. My Sim was able to talk to her like any other Sim. 🙂
how so?
at Cats and Dogs, and Get Famous, townies are at off-world section
Yay! More LGBTQ+ content!
I’ve always like the backstory of all the locals in all the Sims games.
I don’t understand who Lia is. She’s called a trasngender sim, but she has cis female settings. So is she a cis or a trans lady? She looks like a trans woman, but they can’t get pregnant. Can we get more information about it?
Lia has trans gender settings. She has a masculine body build with a female gender setting. You are right that in the real world, transgender women cannot get pregnant, but I imagine The Sims Team wanted to allow players to play out whatever stories they want with Lia. 🙂 You can change her pregnancy setting in CAS for more realistic play if you like.
thankyou so much for including a trans sim!!
my plan was to create a mermaid and a grandma and grandson who took her in, and then she falls in love with the grandson. But seeing the premade sims, I think it’s going to be Keala who takes her in and Lia will be like a sister to her. Also she will probably fall in love with Duane since he actually looks similar to the grandson I was going to make
“Lia is the first premade transgender Sim in The Sims series.”
Are they? I thought that was the character in the Karaoke Legends household in City Living (their name was darling, I think)?
Darling Walsh is a teen, assigned as female at birth, however she is non-binary and has a preference to masculine clothes.
I don’t think you can say that Lia is the first premade transgender sim. Number one, you could argue that Darling from CityLiving is maybe transgender. Number two, If the game doesn’t specifically state her as transgender it’s really just an assumption. The male body type doesn’t have to mean male. There is a woman who has body types that are just more ‘masculine’ than others.
The fact that gender neutrality is becoming a common theme in the game is awesome, so I think we should keep referring to it as neutral/undefined, rather than making determinations. This because I feel like at the end of the day ones gender shouldn’t matter no matter what one wears, how one pees or how they make or not make babies. Meaning, sims are sims, and can be whatever. They don’t need to be labelled. That is up to the player.
