THE SIMS 4 ISLAND PARADISE

This is something I would love to see happen!

Maybe something like a new map? Mermaid cove like something mystical and tropical? a beach with a small cave.. maybe, finding mermaids and be able to go diving from inside the cave? like a What if they added cool pool stuff too? like pool floats and slides?

I really want mermaids to be able to live underwater, all ages have a tail but maybe they don't get their powers till teen years(but I'd prefer child) I really want them the have accidents where they accidentally touch water an they fall on the floor and pop a tail. That would be really cool!

I love that! I wish they would do either a new Map pack or vaction spot for the eachs with all this cool stuff!

Tbh I think Being able to change the seasons/weather as a power, be able to chose land or underwater, maybe gain certain skills quicker, read other sims minds/thoughts, plus it'd b cool if they could have a pet fish(dolphin ,shark ,etc.)

I really like this, I think they should also can some water powers kinda like h2o

I would like another Island Paradise type EP as well. Boating, water skiing, jet skiis, and pool floats were loads of fun. Snorkeling and scuba diving were a real advancement in the series.

The thing that I would like to be different is that when scuba diving, the area should be much larger than a 64x64 lot. I would prefer that the underwater areas be similar to the other neighborhoods In that there are "public" areas and underwater lots that I can edit if I like. I would love an entire world of exploration down there. Something the size of Magnolia Promenade at the least. Perhaps, there could be an underwater city to visit.

Submersibles with robotic arms would also be great. They would allow for exploration of the deeper areas that aren't safe to dive. Also, divers could stay down longer to explore things like old-ship wrecks and unexplored caves.

Okay, I'm sorry. I like to dream big.

If I don't, EA will throw me a little scuba tank and call it done. Instead, I would hope for more and, if I'm lucky, possibly get something in between.

I don't see why we couldn't have an underwater neighborhood. How would it be any different than any other neighbor hood other than the lighting, the plant life and the way that the Sims move through it. It's not like it will be actually filled with water. It's would be an illusion, just like everything else in a Sims game. Ghost's already float in the game. That wasn't impossible. Swimming through the air to make it seem like water isn't impossible either.

If it was possible in an older game, it is most positively possible here. EA is given way too much leeway and too many excuses.

Understanding that they are limited in this version due to using a bad base game engine is different than giving them leeway. If you're unwilling to recognize the limitations and work with them to get what you want, you'll always be disappointed.

That being said, Merpeople didn't live in the ocean in S3, they lived on land and could swim in the ocean with a tail. If that is the idea for S4 Merpeople, then why not just build a large hidden, natural pond with living quarters in a cave (similar to that kids show about mermaids). Each Merfamily could have their own home lot of water with a cave for living quarters underneath.

I suggested a new neighborhood that is designed to look as if it's underwater. I'm not sure how that is so different from creating other neighborhoods that already have different themes -- desert, coastal, woodland, European, alien world. They all required new assets. They all required that a Sim travel to them through a loading screen.

An underwater "world" would be similar. The only difference is that Sims would need a new manner of locomotion and interacting with underwater objects. The game already has different walk styles. Swimming is, basically a different style of locomotion that also has movement along the Z-axis. It can already be accomplished on a lot, why not an entire 'hood?

The reason that I suggested a world is because I found the dive lots in TS3 too confining. It would have been nice to have an entire neighborhood-sized area to explore.

Btw, I never mentioned mermaids. In the scope of what I was discussing, why does it matter where the mermaids lived in TS3?

I wouldn't mind a world similar to Island Paradise, especially if it gave us beaches, but that's the extent I want to see in TS4. While I enjoyed the features that we had in TS3, they weren't at all ready to implement that kind of gameplay in a viable sense. I think that kind of involvement is a little far in the future still, and rightfully should be.

That was a great EP for TS3, so yea....i'm here for it
