Looking for a World

I've recently been playing in Izabo Atoll by @tammyjo329
https://thesims3.com/assetDetail.html?assetId=8867150
In appearance it's more like Sunlit Tides, but has ports, dive lots and a couple of hidden islands. There is also an unpopulated version without bridges.
It'd be a great holiday island because it has several resorts and lots of night spots.

I always thought this island - https://forums.thesims.com/en_US/discussion/369241/rovington-islands-jungle-inspired-world-ready-for-download-new-thread-old-one-broke/p1 - would make a nice alternative to IP. The links do not work but I do have the download if you are interested. I never have found the time to play or mess with it other then just giving it a lookover.

Isle of Sims III is another great one by @Rflong7 can't go wrong with any
of their worlds.

Thank you all for your help.

@wendyyi1 I downloaded Izabo Atoll and installed it in my game, but it doesn't show up in the installed worlds files or in the main menu. I tried downloading and installing it a second time, in case the download was corrupted, but it didn't work then either.

@KatyFernlily That world isn't the kind of world I had in mind, but it is very pretty.

@GraceyManor I will download both of those and take a look at them.

I went to the thread regarding the download that @wendyyi1 cited and found out that there is something wrong with the save as button. It's an issue that has cropped up here and there with downloads on the exchange

Try the Add to Game button and see if that works for you for downloading "Izabo Atol (sp?)".

I had that problem as well. I had to clean it with Custard to remove several included files that Custard marked as corrupt. After I did that, it installed just fine

Note: For anyone not familiar with Custard, it is available from MTS. https://modthesims.info/download.php?t=390235
Crinrict has a nice tutorial on how to use it. https://sims3.crinrict.com/en/2011/01/tutorial-delphys-custard.html

Hi :)
What do you consider beautiful about Island Paradise?
What problems are you having with IP?

@Rflong7 I had to think about that for a while. I guess what makes IP beautiful to me is the overall brightness, the color and texture of the default terrain paint, and the landscaping. Some other worlds have darker or duller terrain, which makes the whole world seem dreary, and I don't enjoy playing in them. I'd like to find a similarly bright and sunny tropical island world, preferably with only one main island, so my sims don't have to spend so much time traveling back and forth between islands on a daily basis.

The issues I'm referring to are just the known issues in IP. Yes, they can be fixed, but some of those fixes leave lots that aren't usable, which is a waste of space. Last time I played there, instead of moving households from houseboats into houses on land, I made the ports into houses on stilted foundations and placed the families in those. But that didn't fix the lag issues, because it's the terrain that's the issue, more than the houseboats themselves, so I had to start over, and move those households into houses on land. I'd like an island world that is usable in its entirety.

I have Sunlit Tides, which is pretty and bright, but it's not very useful for having a professional scuba diver or a lifeguard, or for having your sims live on a houseboat.

My sim family is on a holiday on the SimLau Isles by My Sim Realty. I had been looking for a nice tropical world too and gave this one a try. It has a bit of everything, but it is unpopulated and have some routing issues, and not the best for boats because of the bridges, but it has plenty of water and three (I think) diving spots. I wish it had the Sunlit Tides lighting. There is a fishing spot on the top of a high mountain, but you can't fish in the lake there. =d It's a nice world, though. I'm playing it as its own save for the convenience.

Maybe Sorceress Supreme's Suvadiva makeover? There are screenshots on post #19 and the download link is in post #24.
