• Dive into the blue: See what surprises await beneath the sea! As your Sims hone 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!

Is your houseboat is too small and you don’t have enough space for a bathroom? Don’t worry, the new All-in-One Bathroom takes only 1 tile and has everything your sim needs: Shower, Toilet and a Sink.

Underwater Camera

Want to take pictures of your Underwater adventures but your phone isn’t waterproof? No need to worry, Underwater Camera can capture all important moments from your adventure in the sea.

Travel Tent

If your Sim is far away from home and he/she really needs to catch some sleep, then Travel Tent is the right thing for your Sim. Travel Tent works pretty much as a bed, except you can put it in your inventory. Just place it on the ground and Zzzz away!

Ladders

Taking up only 1×1 space, ladders are perfect for small houseboats!

Houseboats and Boats

Houseboats bring you a new and fun way of living whether it’s with your friends, family, pets or just your Sim. Forget about land and sail for an adventure all around the world. If you have enough Simoleons, you can move into pre-made Houseboats that are waiting for you on the dock, but if you don’t have much simoleons you can purchase a houseboat platform and customize it by the way you want to. The possibilities are endless!

To buy a houseboat, simply click on an empty houseboat and select ”Purchase Property (x Simoleons)”. If your sim already owns a house on the land or a houseboat, they can purchase another one by clicking on the phone and selecting ”Real Estate and Travel Services > Purchase Additional Home”

To build your own house boat, go to  edit town and select the dock where you want to start building your houseboat. There are different sizes for you to choose.

Barge, Small – 10×8 – Free

Barge, Medium – 15×10 – 3000 Simoleons

Barge, Large – 20×15 – 5000 Simoleons

Barge, Narrow – 22×8 – 6000 Simoleons

Curved Bow, Narrow – 14×6 – 8000 Simoleons

Curved Bow, Wide – 12×8 – 9000 Simoleons

To start moving your houseboat, click on the helm. From there you can change port and move your boat on your desired location. It’s much easier to just click on the water and select ”Move Houseboat here” thought.

NOTE: If your Sim is on a boat while it’s moving, he/she is more likely to get seasick. Seasick moodlet will only last for 1 hour.

To change the port simply click on the Helm and select ”Change Port”.

You can add 3 upgrades to your houseboat: Add foghorn, Add slow and fast speed and add Autopilot.

To add foghorn, your Sim needs to have level 1 of Handiness skill. With foghorn you can let other sims know that you are around!

To control slow and fast speed, your sim needs to have level 4 of Handiness skill. That way if you’re (not) in the rush you can set your desired speed.

With Level 7 of Handiness skill, your Sim can upgrade your Houseboat with the Autopilot. That means you don’t have to be behind the helm to move the houseboat.

Boats allow you to travel around the world on the water. There are 7 new boats including 2 Speedboats, 2 Paddleboats,  1 sailboat, 1 Rowboat, 1 Sailboat and 1 Aqua-Sled. There are also 2 Windsurfs: 1 for Kids and 1 for Adults.

If your houseboat is not docked, mailman, neighboors and even burglars will come to your house using boats (usually aqua-sleds). I find it weird how when your young Sim has to go to school, they just teleport from the houseboat to the bus.

Let’s start with windsurfing, shall we? To start windsurfing, simply click on the water and select ”Go Windsurfing”. Your sim will start windsurfing where the wind leads them. The more you surf, the more your sim will be confident and after raising the ”Windsurfing” Hidden Skill, they will be able to do all sorts of tricks on the water!

Speed: 5

Paddleboats are slow and require energy, but it sure is nice to enjoy the scenery of your town while paddling through the water. They are really cute and they fit the best for younger Sims (although older Sims can use them too).

Speed: 2

Rowboats require even more energy for your sims to waste. There can be 2 Sims on a rowboat. Too bad that the other sim can’t help out.

Speed: 1

Fishing: 8

Aqua-Sleds are the best when it comes to speed! They will transfer your Sim to their desired location in no time.

Speed: 7

Sailboats are perfect for the whole family to cruise around since it supports 4 Sims!

Speed: 5

Fishing: 8

Speedboats allow you to have the best time of your Sim’s life! Not only that they are fast, but they also allow you to Waterskii. To Waterskii, you need 2 sims in a steady speedboat. Waterskii is also a new Hidden Skill that, each time you Waterskii, raises and unlocks cool new tricks for your Sim to show off! There are 10 levels of Waterskii Hidden Skill.

Speed: 9

Fun: 6

Speed: 8

Fun: 6

Underwater

 

Scuba Diving is a new skill that allows you to go snorkeling and/or go underwater! There are 10 levels of the Scuba diving skill for you to master. Each level unlocks you new options and new ways to play on water and in the water. There are 4 diving lots in Isla Paradiso, and each of them gets unlocked after leveling up your Scuba Diving skill. To start leveling up, click on the water and select ”Snorkel”. Your sim might even find some seashells floating around!

Level 1

Your Sim is ready to begin his/her underwater adventure exploring the deep depths of the ocean floor. Your Sim can continue building on this skill by snorkeling or scuba diving.

Level 2

Your Sim can now scuba dive in Rocky Reef! You can spend 3 hours underwater before you run out of oxygen, so make the most of your underwater adventure in Rocky Reef! Be sure to explore the underwater cave because you might find something valuable.

While spending some time in the cave, you will get notifications about how your Sim is doing and he/she might even find an exit to another diving lot, but that requires better Scuba Diving skills. There is 90% of chance that your sim will find an air pocket, extending your Oxygen tank capacity for 1 hour.

 

After getting out of water, your Sim will need to Depressurize for 2 hours before going back in the water.

Level 3

Your Sim can continue to build the Scuba Diving skill by snorkeling or going underwater. The more time you spend underwater, the more your skill bar raises. Your sim can now spend 4 hours underwater! Be sure to grab some valuable collectibles including small fish, shells and underwater plants.

Level 4

Your sim can now Scuba Dive in Davy Jones’ Locker!

The treasure chest contain a lot of valuable items.

Bigger and badder fish start to appear in Davy Jones’ Locker. Be sure to have high athletic skill if you ever get in fight with a shark.

Level 5

Your Sim can now stay 5 hours underwater.

If your Sim spots a shark underwater, they will wet themselves. If your Sim has a brave trait, they will never do that.

After observing a shark, the shark may spot an eye on you. You better hide in the cave or else the Shark will attack you! My Sim was lucky for having a high Athletic skill or else the result would be death.

Level 6

After unlocking the ability to Scuba Dive, your Sim can check the Restaurant, City Hall or the Science Fascility for Diving Work. You will earn simoleons and Scuba Diving skill boost!

Level 7

Your sim can now scuba dive at the Mermaid Grotto! They also can stay underwater for 6 hours.

There are 2 underwater caves and 2 Treasure chests.

Those 2 caves are connected and by exploring the left cave, you can exit on the right cave. You usually get better gems while exploring the left cave. Your sim can even find an uncharted island by exploring it, but we’ll talk more about it in the ”Uncharted Island” section.

Caves are complex and if you have 2 or more underwater lots unlocked, your Sim might find themselves in a different underwater lot.

The treasure chest on the right contains 2,000 Simoleons and 5 diamonds worth 763 Simoleons (uncut).

The treasure chest on left contains a big reward, but you need to have Level 8 Scuba Diving skill to open it!

Level 8

Your Sim can now open the Treasure Chest in Mermaid Grotto!

Level 9

Your Sim can now Scuba Dive in Pearl’s Deep! Your oxygen tank is upgraded so that you can stay underwater for 7 hours.

To open the treasure chest in Pear’s Deep, your Sim needs to have maxed out Scuba Diving Skill (Level 10).

Level 10

Congratulations! Your Sim mastered the Scuba Diving skill. Now it takes only 1 hour to Depressurize your Sim. As a reward, your Sim gets a brand new outfit for going underwater: A retro suit.

Now you can open the Treasure Chest in Pearl’s Deep. It contains a lot of gems and simoleons!

• Pearl Diver – Pearl Divers have collected at least 50 shells. Their reputation for collecting reputable finds helps them sell their shells at higher prices.
• Underwater Spelunkers – Underwater Spelunkers are brave divers who have explored underwater caves at least 15 times. Those many trips in to the dark cavenrs means the Underwater Spelunker is more likely to find collectables while exploring caves.
• Savvy Snorkeler – Savvy Snorklers have spent at least 40 hours snorkeling in water. Their experience scanning the underwater floor for hidden items gives them a higher chance of finding collectables while snorkeling.

If you have The Sims 3 Ambitions installed, you can register your Sim as a Self-Employed Scuba Diver in the Town Hall. Your responsibility is to collect and sell underwater treasure.

Uncharted Islands

Isla Paradiso comes with 8 new Uncharted Islands. Uncharted Islands bring you a new way to play The Sims 3, never seen in the history of The Sims Franchise.

Uncharted Islands are covered with fog. Each time you hover your mouse over them it will say ”I wonder what’s down there…” making you even more intrigued about this feature. Each island has it’s own way of unlocking. Some islands are easy to unlock, while some take time and knowledge. After unlocking an Island, it will become your private lot (Sometimes it’s residental and sometimes it’s a resort lot)

This is the map of Uncharted Islands. (Numbers go from easiest to hardest to unlock Islands)

1. Beryl Shoals     2. Diver’s Den      3. No Trouble Atoll      4. Cay to the City      5. Refuge Island      6. Mermaid’s Secret       7. Plunder Cove      8. Plumbob Island

Beryl Shoals

Beryl Shoals is the easiest Island to unlock. All you have to do is have your sim use any kind of boat and pass near it. The fog will be lifted and you will have your very own Island.

Just like any other private lot, you have the ability to convert it to a Resort.

The size of this lot is 64×64. This small island has bumpy terrain which means that only a small part of this Island is buildable (Unless you smooth up the terrain, that is).

Diver’s Den

To unlock Diver’s Den, your Sim needs to have level 10 of the Diving Skill. To find the hidden Island, your Sim needs to Scuba Dive in Pearl’s Deep, and then explore the cave. Be sure to select yes after a message comes out asking ”You have found a new exit to the cave system. Do you wish to see where it leads?”.

Note: There is 50% of chance that your Sim will be redirected to a new Island. Keep trying until your Sim unlocks it.

Size of this lot is 50×60. This lot is made for building on stilted foundations, since 80% of this lot is covered in water.

No Trouble Atoll

To unlock the No Trouble Atoll Island, you need to own a resort, but it’s not just that simple. Your resort needs to have 5 stars. More info on resorts are on our ”Resorts” section that will be up and finished soon.

Size: 60×60

This island is perfect for your new 5-star resort!

Cay to the City

Cay to the City can be unlocked after you save 35 sims as a Lifeguard (CPR does not count).

Size: 30×40

This island is pretty decent and works the best with stilted foundations.

Refuge Island

To unlock Refuge Island, you need to finish a series of quests from underwater to the ground.

To start your quest, visit a resort. Stay for 1 night in the cheapest room.  After that, click on a bell hopper and select ”Check for Adventures”. This opportunity will pop-up. Note that you must accept every opportunity to unlock the Refuge Island.

Your next objective is to talk about Refuge Island with Karlie Goldberg. You need to be in a good relationship with her so that she can tell you more about the Refuge Island.

Now you need to bring 3 Kelp to the Science Fascility. The best place where the Kelp grows is The Mermaid Grotto. Grab it and bring it to the Science Fascility for your next objective.

Successfully walking over the Firewalk isn’t that hard, right? You can set the temperature to Cool so that your sim is more likely to cross the Firewalk successfully.

Fighting with a shark may not be the best idea, since your sim might die. You better save your game before starting a fight just in case. High Athletic skill will help you defeat the shark, and some raw meat like tuna and a steak in your inventory is recommended if you want a shark to attack you. Once the shark shows up, click on it and select ”Watch the Shark”. The Shark will notice you after a while and attack you. Hope for the best that your Sim will survive!

Your last objective is to Search for the Map in the Military Base (it’s combined with the city hall and the Police Station. It will take 1 hour for your Sim to find the map. After that, the Island is all yours!

Size: 25×30

This island comes with a small shack. It’s perfect to get away from everyday routines!

Mermaid’s Secret

Mermaid’s Secret Island is not very hard to unlock. You have to meet a mermaid and befriend him/her. You need to be in a ”Good Friends” relationship with her/him. Click on any Scuba Diving lot you want and select ”Scuba Dive with…” a mermaid sim. Once underwater, a mermaid will show you the secret entrance in the cave to Mermaid’s Secret Island.

Size: 30×30

The Build Area is decent. You can add more lot space on this Island in ”Edit Town”.

Plunder Cove

Plunder Cove is really difficult to unlock since it requires 4 pieces of the Island map to be unlocked. 2 pieces can be found on land (map in the bottle) but you never know where will the map in the bottle spawn. Keep an eye on island shores and beaches since they usually spawn uncommon message in the bottles (Not every message in the bottle is a piece of the map. There is 10% of chance that you will find the piece of the map in the bottle). Other 2 pieces can be found by going underwater in Davy Jones’ Locker and The Mermaid Grotto (Will require level 8 Scuba Diving skill). For more info on what treasure chest should be opened, check our ”Underwater” section.

Size: 64×64

This Island doesn’t have a huge build area since it’s not so flat. It contains a treasure chest including 1,200 Simoleons and dozens of gems!

Plumbob Island

Plumbob Island is the most difficult Island to find. Not because the quest is hard, but because there are small chances of finding a message in the bottle that will immediately give you the map to the Island. After finding this special message in the bottle, you’ll get 3,333 Simoleons with the map to the island.

Size: 64×64

This island has a treasure chest that contains 3,333 Simoleons, Evolution of the Plumbob painting worth 12,121 Simoleons and a Large Plumbob Rainbow Gem worth 2,190 Simoleons.

Interesting thing about ”The Evolution of the Plumbob” painting is that it shows all 3 plumbobs from all 3 games: The Sims 1, The Sims 2 and The Sims 3. When clicking on it and selecting ”View”, your Sim will have some interesting stuff to say about this painting, and it will also give them a ”Vision of the Past” moodlet.

Lifeguard Profession

Lifeguard’s duty is to keep the beach a safe place for Sims. To become a lifeguard, click on the City Hall and select ”Join Lifeguard Profession”. To improve and level up in your Lifeguard Profession, you must do 3 responsibilities: Help Others, Level up the Athletic Skill and Level up the Charisma Skill. Sims can’t die while you’re on your Lifeguard duty. They will just throw some insults at your Sim and act like nothing happened. This can affect your Profession performance though.

Mermaids eat the same food that normal sims eat, but they prefer underwater specialties, including the kelp that they can harvest underwater.

Being a mermaid has a good side and a bad side.

The good side is that your Sim will swim much faster. They don’t prefer boats or Jet Ski’s.

They also don’t need the limited air tank, which means that they can stay underwater as long as they want.

The bad side of being a mermaid is that they need to be in touch with the water very often(Hydration need instead of Hygiene) by taking a shower, taking a bath, swimming in the ocean, going underwater etc.

If they don’t take care of the Hydration need, they will Dehydrate. If your sim is lucky enough, there will be a sim nearby to hydrate your sim before it’s too late!

If your Sim doesn’t Hydrate in 3 hours, they will die.

If your sim doesn’t want to be a mermaid anymore, then stay out of the Salt water! That means no Swimming in the ocean and no going underwater. After 48 hours your sim will lose scales and everything will go back to the way it was.

Deaths

Death by Dehydration (Mermaids)

Water to mermaids means the same as food to normal Sims.

If mermaids don’t take care of the Hydration need, they will Dehydrate. If your sim is lucky enough, there will be a sim nearby to hydrate your sim before it’s too late!

If your Sim doesn’t Hydrate in 3 hours, they will die.

Death by Running Out of Air (Scuba Diving)

Air is needed when your Sim is going underwater. The more you stay underwater, the more your tank is running out of precious Oxygen. Your Sim will have 3 hours of Oxygen before dying.

Death by Shark Attack

Sharks are really dangerous for your Sims. The more fish/raw meat you have in your inventory, the bigger chances are that the shark will attack you, and if your Sim doesn’t have a high athletic skill, kill you. (Brave and Lucky traits can come in handy if you want your Sim to survive, but if you don’t, then Coward and Unlucky traits are just for your Sim)

There are 5 new types of Food and Drinks in total.

Mosquitoes
