Updated Update: Make a new folder in your Sims 3 Saves folder called IPonlyRdy.sims3 and copy these four files into it: https://www.mediafire.com/folder/hh78ai99s6a1y/IPonlyRdyWhen you next load up your game, it should be your first option there with other saved games.I tried to only do the bare minimum changes, but I wanted to avoid lag in your game; so you do get some of my redone EA homes. I did redo them so they only need IP - no other EPs or SPs or any store stuff.I had redone most of the lots using all the EPs and SPs and some store stuff earlier. If interested in any of those lots, look in this folder and you can do individual replacements:https://www.mediafire.com/folder/o3g07w12a9d20/LotsIf you have all the EPs and SPs and own the store (or lots of it), you could download these files instead:https://www.mediafire.com/folder/xp7wkoer3drf0/IPrdy(Your new folder would be named IPrdy.sims 3 and would go in the Sims 3 Saves folder. I made many more adjustments to this version as I was simply making it for myself.)Older UPDATE: I have played a houseboat in IP without any mods or world fix (for three sim weeks) following a suggestion to give all sims cars (and boats) to cut down on taxis. When you start to experience a lot of lag, save and then quit your game. Clear your caches. Then reload your game. It should play normal then. I only play with one houseboat (mine) and one resort (Hobart's). I have systematically been playing every family in IP and they have all played well for me.I consolidated notes of lag and freezing in IP and went in to fix things. I now have my notes in a one-page Word document (short, sweet, and to the point). Also, the Loner's home has NO front door or even a lower level - Solitude.

So, if you take the time to remove the houseboats and resort towers, I think that you can play without lag too. Simply evict Sims and move them to land.

I don't want to chance losing the first post info, so I'll post these links here for downloads from another site:IPonlyrdy (stands for Island Paradise EP only - ready to play) - http://www.simfileshare.net/download/1806882/IPallrdy (Island Paradise with other EP,SP, and store stuff included - ready to play) - http://www.simfileshare.net/download/1806914/NOTE that there is now a mod that will keep NPCs from house boats around, so that will help tremendously with lag!https://modthesims.info/d/665907/reduce-remove-lag-caused-by-houseboats.htmlContinuation of previous fix suggestions:Here's an example for the ports, which have routing problems and cause stuck Sims:Houseboat dwellers and visitors will have problems accessing homes by boat at some ports: Port Primavera, Premium Port, Port Pleasant and Port Playa. Sims get stuck trying to route to a houseboat from a certain angle (from the left). The easiest fix is to make these ports No Visitors Allowed (NVA). I leave the boats on these ports - Primavera and Premium - and I add a boat to Port Pleasant. Block spots at the edge of lots that show uneven terrain with big rocks (and shrubs)!Add trees and bushes (with rocks).Romantic (Rubisel Ichtaca's) houseboat (FantaSea) needs rocks at the waterline and lot edge where terrain is uneven & remove two trees between the lots that block the road in town/world edit.Put rocks where NPCs get stuck near Premium port (between Premium and Pretty Port on water/ground edge.Place a NoVisitorsAllowed (NVA) boat on Port Pleasant. (Move or delete rocks too close to port exit stairs.) Empty all other houseboats by evicting one family at a time and putting everyone in normal/land houses. Then, delete ALL those houseboats and their lots. (I kept the NVA ones for my active Sims.)I did change some ports to port-less residences. (I see no need for three ports right next to each other.)Thanks to Photobucket now charging for old pic links, I've simply removed the pics.

Examples of fixes:I now play without the "resort towers", but keep the lots (just changed to normal community lots):Some objects are below ground level: Spa/Bistro Rabbithole at 10 Sunshine Street, Sparkling Sands at 45 Paradise Road, and La Costa Verde Resort at 75 Fiesta Circle. (You should also be able to spot the darker shrubs and trees that were placed below ground level and move them above ground. You can view them in the basement level.)Loner - Solitude (It has no door! The house is on stilts and there is a ladder going inside.)I added a ground floor with front and rear entrances and moved the main living downstairs.Modern Folly Makeover had no complete fence and required Sims to go upstairs to visit. I expanded the downstairs from the simple bar and bath.http://www.thesims3.com/assetDetail.html?assetId=8571687http://lvlt.thesims3.com/sims3_asset/sims3_asset/thumb/shard000/000/085/716/87/roof_up_original.jpgCheck for stacked spiral stairs (which can cause route failure). Use ladders or delete top floors. Check blocked showers/baths or tubs turned wrong: Los Amigos house, Rubisel Ichtaca's boat, & Floating Fortress, docked at Pleasing Port (unoccupied). Also, check for homes with arches as entrances that look pretty, but keep everybody but family from the door. Easiest fix is to delete the arch and that part of the wall. You can also just extend the house, as I did for the Collins - Colonial Casa - 76 Civic Center (The front door is set incorrectly and they have problems accessing the top floor, so delete access to top floor. The toddler will get stuck in the space by the front door. I extend the living room so there is no porch.) The house on the right of the Collins green one is the Vidals - The Painted Lady - 74 Civic Center (It has a small fenced & cluttered yard and outdoor stairs leading to a bedroom. I delete the stairs, enlarge the house, & add spiral stairs.)(Empty) - Modern Marvel - 10 Modern Mile (no front door set, very unlevel terrain, & stacked stairs) I uploaded a fixed version, if you want to replace it.http://www.thesims3.com/assetDetail.html?assetId=8565894It has a separate post below.Babes on the Beach - Holiday House - 25 Riviera Road (Sims often get stuck in the tiny flat space behind the entrance foundation. Flatten ground around (or expand) front deck, move stairs to right so paper will be delivered closer, & smooth incline to mailbox.)It has a post below right now too.Again, I deleted old PhotoBucket pics. (Beware of free sites that might decide to charge later and have a back up plan!)

Here are some examples of how I redo a port that had a family and houseboat:Mrs. Scott might have been made pregnant with Rubisel Ichtaca's baby some way that causes issues. Evict the Scotts. Bulldoze their houseboat. Bulldoze the houseboat base.Cntl/Shift/C:testingcheatsenabled true, enablelotlocking on, click on Port, click on padlock to unlock.Change to residential. Use hammer to delete port connection and port walkway.Cntl/Shift/C: enablelotlocking off, testingcheatsenabled false.Delete extra fencing, flooring, and "port".I leave a port house and simply make it into a cheap starter house.Perilous Place becomes a pink and turquoise shack on the water's edge:http://lvlt.thesims3.com/sims3_asset/sims3_asset/thumb/shard000/000/086/208/15/roof_up_original.jpghttp://www.thesims3.com/assetDetail.html?assetId=8620815Delete the trees in the way of getting to the door. Delete the stairs and level land in front of building a bit higher making a level area two tiles wide. Add stairs again holding alt when placing to avoid sinking land. Use terrain smoothing tool to create a routeable path that is not so sloped. You can place houseboat sims into other homes on land, hoping that moving them resets their issues and you can relocate some sims into the starter homes.I now have a bunch of starter houses of varying sizes on the ports that had buildings on them.They are so quick to just add a few things to what is already there.Picturesque Place - with 3/4 bath and awesome views:http://lvlt.thesims3.com/sims3_asset/sims3_asset/thumb/shard000/000/086/208/21/roof_up_original.jpghttp://lvlt.thesims3.com/sims3_asset/sims3_asset/thumb/shard000/000/086/208/21/l0wu_original.jpghttp://www.thesims3.com/assetDetail.html?assetId=8620821Prosperous pad - with a full-sized bath complete with tub:http://lvlt.thesims3.com/sims3_asset/sims3_asset/thumb/shard000/000/086/208/20/roof_up_original.jpghttp://lvlt.thesims3.com/sims3_asset/sims3_asset/thumb/shard000/000/086/208/20/l0wd_original.jpghttp://www.thesims3.com/assetDetail.html?assetId=8620820Popular Pad - wooden shack with motorcycle and all in one bath:http://lvlt.thesims3.com/sims3_asset/sims3_asset/thumb/shard000/000/086/208/12/roof_up_original.jpghttp://lvlt.thesims3.com/sims3_asset/sims3_asset/thumb/shard000/000/086/208/12/l0wd_original.jpghttp://www.thesims3.com/assetDetail.html?assetId=8620812Pleasing Pad - complete with a real shower and toilet:http://lvlt.thesims3.com/sims3_asset/sims3_asset/thumb/shard000/000/086/208/16/roof_up_original.jpghttp://lvlt.thesims3.com/sims3_asset/sims3_asset/thumb/shard000/000/086/208/16/l0wd_original.jpghttp://www.thesims3.com/assetDetail.html?assetId=8620816

This example is more complicated because it uses CFE. You must be comfortable with CFE (or delete the house) OR download the one I uploaded to my studio: http://www.thesims3.com/assetDetail.html?assetId=8565894http://lvlt.thesims3.com/sims3_asset/sims3_asset/thumb/shard000/000/085/658/94/roof_up_original.jpgModern Marvel: Raise the lawn up to the level of the tiles and patio area of the gym over the garage.http://lvlt.thesims3.com/sims3_asset/sims3_asset/thumb/shard000/000/085/658/94/l0wd_original.jpgCntl/Shift/C: testingcheatsenabled true, constrainfloorelevation false, CAREFULLY extend lawn to one tile away from deck area of gym, which I extended two tiles toward the lawn as well.Cntl/Shift/C: constrainfloorelevation true, testingcheatsenabled false. < Very important step!Move garage door wall in two tiles to allow car room to get to garage. (May need moveobjects on/off.)Add stairs from deck to lawn holding alt when placing (to keep ground from sinking much). At the place where I added modular stairs to lead down to the lower level. Add stairs to connect tile to the raised lawn holding alt as you place them again. (I did delete some foundation on the lower patio and redid the stairs to allow more room on ground.)http://lvlt.thesims3.com/sims3_asset/sims3_asset/thumb/shard000/000/085/658/94/l0wu_original.jpgFlatten the ground two-tiles wide on the lower level from modular stairs to normal stairs for the patio.I moved the middle bedroom to the basement and the kitchen and living room furniture to the middle. I deleted the extra interior walls on the middle floor, but left the bathroom in place. I placed the dining table and chairs on the patio.To avoid problem with stacked stairs, I moved the bottom spiral stairs to the hallway by the bathroom door. (I extended the wall out one tile to make the hallway wider.) :smiley:

Some things are easier to fix than others... For the Hamada's home that has an arch in front of the door and the back door set as the front, I delete the arch and the walls underneath as well as the gate. I add gate on the sides of the path leading to the front stairs. I also extend the sides of the yard by adding a diagonal wall on each side and moving the fence out one tile. (*The front door needs to set as the front door too.)https://iamciane.files.wordpress.com/2015/02/screenshot-60.jpgBabes on Beach. Again, I used CFE to level the terrain, but you might extend the deck instead. (If you extend the deck, move the porch steps a tile away from the house for paper delivery.)Cntl/Shift/C: testingcheatsenabled true, constrainfloorelevation false, level ground around stairs foundation so Sims can stand there and talk to each other. Level the tiles on the foundation porch if they get messed up when the ground was leveled. The reverse your cheat codes order and type: Cntl/Shift/C: constrainfloorelevation true, testingcheatsenabled false.Use terrain lowering and softening tools to make a more gentle path to the mail box and level area at base of path by mail box for Sims to congregate.You decide how much or how little you want to do and see how much better your game plays.Once you have fixed everything, "save as" IPfix BEFORE you start playing. Copy it outside your Sims 3 folder as a backup. Then use "save as" to immediately rename your game for playing. (You can do this for all your worlds, setting them up the way you like once and playing in copies of your worlds.)

Removing IP Lag

Updated Update:
Make a new folder in your Sims 3 Saves folder called IPonlyRdy.sims3 and copy these four files into it: https://www.mediafire.com/folder/hh78ai99s6a1y/IPonlyRdy
When you next load up your game, it should be your first option there with other saved games.
I tried to only do the bare minimum changes, but I wanted to avoid lag in your game; so you do get some of my redone EA homes. I did redo them so they only need IP - no other EPs or SPs or any store stuff.

I had redone most of the lots using all the EPs and SPs and some store stuff earlier. If interested in any of those lots, look in this folder and you can do individual replacements:
https://www.mediafire.com/folder/o3g07w12a9d20/Lots

If you have all the EPs and SPs and own the store (or lots of it), you could download these files instead:
https://www.mediafire.com/folder/xp7wkoer3drf0/IPrdy
(Your new folder would be named IPrdy.sims 3 and would go in the Sims 3 Saves folder. I made many more adjustments to this version as I was simply making it for myself.)

Older UPDATE: I have played a houseboat in IP without any mods or world fix (for three sim weeks) following a suggestion to give all sims cars (and boats) to cut down on taxis. When you start to experience a lot of lag, save and then quit your game. Clear your caches. Then reload your game. It should play normal then. I only play with one houseboat (mine) and one resort (Hobart's). I have systematically been playing every family in IP and they have all played well for me.

I consolidated notes of lag and freezing in IP and went in to fix things. I now have my notes in a one-page Word document (short, sweet, and to the point). Also, the Loner's home has NO front door or even a lower level - Solitude. You can replace it with: http://www.thesims3.com/assetDetail.html?assetId=8573435

I have played with Overwatch and Error Trap (NRaas mods) and only getting the normal vehicle removal and electonics turned off notices each day. So, if you take the time to remove the houseboats and resort towers, I think that you can play without lag too. Simply evict Sims and move them to land. By making the problem ports No Visitors Allowed (NVA), only your active sim should go there, so you should not get stuck sims there. You don't have to make changes to all the lots.

To help with lag and freezing in IP, these helpful fixes were suggested: Turn off Pets.
You can get Ellacharmed's fixed version of Isla Paradiso: http://www.modthesims.info/download.php?t=514909
Install twallan's NRAAS overwatch (and ErrorTrap) mod(s)! (Highly recommended, but not required!)
You can use twallan's NRAAS register mod to annihilate the Scott family and remove horses and wild animals.
* Delete all boats (place residents in other houses) and every boat-platform. (Keep ports and one boat to play.)
Change designation on the problem ports to No Visitors Allowed (NVA)!
Use discoverAllunchartedislands cheat to delete most of the laggy fog.
You can add another school for kids, but moving ones currently enrolled will cause grades to reset.
Play off-line and turn your anti-virus programs off and game mode on, and have ts3w.exe in your DEP.

the cheats for editing ports and dive spots are: control/shift/c...
testingcheatsenabled true
enablelotlocking on
When you enter the cheats, you click on the port you want to change. (In the right part of the window opened, there will be a padlock icon. If you click it, the lock will open and you can then enter buy/build mode.) Remember to turn off all the cheats in reverse order, changing on to off and true to false.

Enter edit town mode.
Delete the 3 resorts: Hobarts, La Costa Verde, and Sparkling Sands. (Save to bin first if you want.) OR simply remove the towers, check-in desks, and snack cart so no workers are needed there and change to community lot.

Delete empty houseboats & their bases first: Odyssey (Port Placid, Surf Island), Happy Houseboat (Promising Port), You're on a Boat (Port Popular), Floating Fortress (Pleasing Port)... Keep Sea Spirit (Premium Port) to be No Visitors Allowed (NVA)

Evict sim(s) in houseboats, delete the houseboats & bases, delete or edit ports: cntl/shift/c: testingcheatsenabled true & enablelocklocking on, click on port, click on padlock, change port to residential lot (if desired), click on buy/build to edit port, make storage building into small starter home, and place evicted Sim(s) in homes. (Delete fencing on piers first & hold alt when placing stairs.)
Scott (move to Humble Home on main island) - Tide Runner (Port Perlious, Surf Island), Angler (move to Cozy Cottage) - Aquaholic (Port Prosperous), Dregg (put in starter house on pier) - Atlantis (Picturesque Port), Arias (move to Personal Paradise) - Our First Houseboat (Port Pescado), and Romantic (Rubisel Ichtaca) (whom I move to Modern Marvel after I relevel that lot) - FantaSea (Port Primavera) Keep FantaSea and make it NVA (no visitors allowed).

Premium Port and Ports Primavera, Pleasant and Playa (and others) have uneven terrain at lot edges. Change Ports to No Visitors Allowed (NVA). Place a NVA boat on Port Pleasant & delete rocks & trees in the way. Pile rocks on lot edges where needed. (World editor needed to delete two trees at Port Primavera.) Lock all ports and turn off cheats. (cntl/shift/c: testingcheatsenabled false & enablelocklocking off)

Delete arches in front of entrances:
Collins - Colonial Casa - 76 Civic Center (Set front door & delete access to top floor.)

Medina - Modern Folly - 65 Paradise Road (Fence yard, delete garage door, turn spiral stairs & add crib)
Los Amigos - Spirit of the Sea (Sandy Beach, Surf Island) Turn tub! (Ichtaca's boat & Floating Fortress too)
Nautical Art Museum - (delete fencing or just the corners)
Ojeda - Sea House - 1 Shark Bay (Widen path & move garbage can & mailbox.)
Delete the stairs to the fountain in the festival park (so small animals and toddlers are NOT left there.)
I also add a grocery & other stores/lots to the main island (to avoid boating to other island).

And, I notice the Loner at Solitude had no door at all or even a ground floor wall to put one on.
http://lvlt.thesims3.com/sims3_asset/sims3_asset/thumb/shard000/000/085/734/35/roof_up_original.jpg
You can add one yourself or replace the lot with mine: http://www.thesims3.com/assetDetail.html?assetId=8573435

There was nothing really wrong with the Han residence, but the pool required everyone to go up to the third floor. So, I redid it here:

@DivinylsFan - You always have to careful when downloading from sites that offer advertisements too, but that is how to keep things free.
I clicked on the first link in my first post and clicked on the .nhd file to download. Under the DOWNLOAD button, I saw this notice:

The download button will start your download and show a message from our advertisers in a new window.

I use Brave for a browser and I don't allow ads, so all I got was the download - no ad in another window popped up.

Any of the big sites that you can download from can offer misleading clicks. I usually right click and see what the download link url really is.

I did also upload here, so you shouldn't have any problems with misleading clicks:

IPonlyrdy (stands for Island Paradise EP only - ready to play) - http://www.simfileshare.net/download/1806882/

IPallrdy (Island Paradise with other EP,SP, and store stuff included - ready to play) - http://www.simfileshare.net/download/1806914/

Updated Update:
Make a new folder in your Sims 3 Saves folder called IPonlyRdy.sims3 and copy these four files into it: https://www.mediafire.com/folder/hh78ai99s6a1y/IPonlyRdy
When you next load up your game, it should be your first option there with other saved games.
I tried to only do the bare minimum changes, but I wanted to avoid lag in your game; so you do get some of my redone EA homes. I did redo them so they only need IP - no other EPs or SPs or any store stuff.

I went to that first link in your Original Post. When I clicked on all files to download, it told me I had to upgrade to premium, so I backed out of that. I went to download each file individually. The first file told me to tick a box to show I'm not a bot. I did. Then it told me to click Allow if I'm not a bot, I did. When I downloaded the second file, the IPonly one, my computer immediately told me my computer had been infected by it and now I'm getting pop ups with a McCafee, but I don't have McCafee, telling me my computer is under attack.

Simmers beware of this.

It turns out the thing that brought on the "click allow to show you're not a bot" was an advertiser. Clicking allow then bombarded me with ads saying I was infected, to continue payment, click to install and activate McAfee ... it got really serious, and escalated. My Webroot adviser helped me to realise it was an advertiser and helped me to find it in my browser settings to remove from allow and to block.

So, @ciane, one of your advertiser agents/spaces includes this invasive and ill-intentioned, nasty ad for "vantsolutions". Your visitors might be advised to go about the page slowly and carefully, to avoid clicking on unscrupulous ads.

YES! The world fix is for the routing issues only. It might have fixed a few other things too that were easy to fix like problems getting to sims doors and bath tubs. BUT this mod keeps non-playable sims from just deciding to move their houseboats. All those houseboats moving locations can cause serious lag. This still lets you move the houseboats of the sims you are playing, so it's a fantastic mod! And it won't compete with any other mods that I know of, for I don't know another that has addressed this issue before.

I just found a great mod tweak on ModtheSims that keeps non-playable sims moving their houseboats.

https://modthesims.info/d/665907/reduce-remove-lag-caused-by-houseboats.html

That should help tremendously with lag. Note that it doesn't address all the other fixes, but WOW! That's huge. You might check it out and add it to your mods/packages folder.

You would only want to do this for an ongoing game whose sims have never traveled to Isla Paradiso before. If there's already an existing Isla nhd file, then the TravelDB will have links to it and swapping the nhd out with a different one will cause all kinds of bizarre issues.

Oh dayum, my sims did travel to isla paradiso but It was a long time ago and have since deleted the nhd files, guess im out of luck.
