I would really like another beach world with swimmable beaches. I know we have a couple beach worlds already but to me only Sulani and Tartosa really count. Having a beach in a world that you can't swim or build on just isn't the same. I want to build restaurants and bars will sand floors. Relaxing on a beach is my idea of sim paradise. Maybe something inspired by the Caribbean or Florida. Adding in some new activities like boogie boarding, surfing, beach volleyball etc would also be nice. Maybe an oceanfront music festival...

I was thinking about at least having a pool/beach party pack. I grew up 10 miles from the beach in southeast Florida. We used to be able to have bonfires and tiki torches and picnics on the beach. I do love Sulani, too. But it's a little small. There are only a few large lots on the water. With a new swimmable beach world, things like motor boats and glass bottom tour/dinner boats can be included. Gambling is illegal in Florida. So, we used to see gambling boats lit up sitting 3-4 miles off shore. Taking a moonlit romantic stroll (hand-in-hand) would be very nice. It was the best part of any date. Of course, there can be dolphin and whale watching tours. We used to body surf in the water. I would love to hear Montego Bay added to the music. A Caribbean type would would add a few new instruments in order to capture the sound of the islands. My Jamaican friend tells me that music is an essential part of their culture as is religion. No matter what their faith, families would gather around together and read "Our Daily Bread" which is interesting. Live bands are big in both areas, too. With live singers. In either place, the coral reefs can be improved and different types of seaweed added. (Sims can be seaweed farmers! Not just gatherers.) I think the community would be happy with something from the British Caribbean because I hear how much they want something not American for a change! I love dipping infant's toes in pond water. Since I am playing a legacy challenge, I haven't been to a beach lot since I discovered that. If we can't dip infant's toes in shallow ocean water, it would be great to be able to do that. Floaties for infants and toddlers to ride in whether in the pool or on the water would be great. It can add to their movement skill and tummy time. We need more things to do with infants and toddlers in the water. Especially with that Loves Water quirk! I love playing with mermaids. I really would like to see that updated so we can have tails in the water from infancy on up. And more tail and top variations for mermaids/mermen!

I wouldn't mind a 3rd beautiful beach island world as long as it finally has a Castaway adventure play. Also, the islands so needs actual boathouses. :p ;)

Del Sol Valley should have beach lots

A hotel and travel pack is at the top of my wish list. You're right, the Caribbean isn't represented, but it has been. Mostly I'm worried that a pack about the Caribbean would be too similar to Island Living and add very little that is new other than some new fashion choices and architecture. Don't get me wrong, I'd love a Caribbean world, so I completely see the lure of it, but I think an African or Indian world would offer more in terms of game play. I would love to be proven wrong :)

The Next Beach World needs to be Caribbean or Hawaain inspired. With the latter Sunlit Tides in Sims 3 was a Hawaain based world.

I've been arguing for a Hotel and travel-pack with an African or Indian world, and either could easily incorporate beach lots as well as beach activities, but mixed with other activities for the region as well, giving us things we've never seen before in the Sims.

Island living is Hawaii-inspired, so I have to admit that I fail to see the need of more of the same instead of something new. I wouldn't mind more activities being added to the pack, but I'm doubtful I would buy a new pack with just more of the same.

To be fair, that goes for all beach worlds for me. Not that I wouldn't love more beach worlds, but they have to offer something else, something new, some piece of culture and lots of game play that is new and exciting.

It would not be more of the same, unless you refer to the beaches and swimming, but I don't think anyone would complain about more swimmable water. Personally, I would welcome any kind of beach world. With Sulani, however, we didn't get the stuff I would normally associate with Hawaii, hula dancing, surfing, hammocks, and singing entertainment at luaus. We got fire dancing but that's not enough. We need proper Hawaiian music and hula dancing. This time they could also add hotels, golf and golf carts and even a scuba diving boat that could offer sight seeing tours and scuba diving tours to tourists. Island Living added swimmable water and mermaids and not much else to the basegame gameplay, I am sure they could add so much more to improve the Island Living experience.
