I've started playing the reboot of my first Sims 3 gameplay - Augusta the Adventurer's life in Isla Paradiso.
Augusta starts life as a YA with no skills. After buying a little houseboat, basic furniture and an easel for her future artist career, she went to the library and learned the charisma skill.
After learning the skill, she used Charming introduction on the townies in the library.
Afterwards, I wanted her to learn the athletic skill by swimming in the ocean... but then I remembered you can't actually do that! (Swimming can only raise the skill level if a sim already has it.) Never mind, she is enjoying herself! I decided to take a look at the two sailboats in the background.
The ghost of Mrs Dregg was sailing in one of them. In the other one was Aidan, Augusta's future love interest! I wasn't going to send Augusta to follow him, because I decided I they will have to meet by accident, not orchestrated by me. But I followed him with the camera because I was curious where he was going.
I think he was going to Rebecca's Bar - but I had to save and quit after taking this screenshot, because something came up.
It made me think - I've played Sims 4 Island Living a lot and I thoroughly enjoyed it, and will probably play it again. in the Sulani world the sea is always full of sailboats sailing around and it looks wonderful, but the sims in the sailboats are doing just that - sailing around. It is just a fun activity, not a method of transport. In Isla Paradiso the amount of boats is smaller, but every single one contains a Sim who is going from point A to point B, and if you follow them you will see where they are going to. in an ideal Sim game both of these things would be true!
