Sims 4 Ocean Exploration expansion pack [Aquariums, scuba diving and houseboats]

Underwater Diving areas

There are underwater diving areas that Sims can explore and that are interactive and actually visible to the player. Players can find treasure chests, explore underwater caves or sunken shipwrecks, harvest seaweed and catch fish swimming around. The fish that have been caught can be brought to the surface and exhibited in an aquarium.

There is a scuba diving skill. The higher the skill level, the longer a Sim can stay underwater and the less depressurizing time a Sim has.

Aquarium

There is an aquarium in town that you can stock with fish and other marine life like colorful sea slugs. These can be caught while scuba diving. There are giant aquarium tanks that you can stock with fish. There is an aquarium tunnel object that Sims can walk through, and it can be stocked with fish as well. Aquariums are a new type of community venue. There are saltwater tanks (with corals and rocks) and freshwater tanks (with kelp and wood branches) 

 

Houseboat

Houseboats are a new type of home that Sims can live in. Houseboats are editable in Build Mode like a regular lot, except you can't add a basement.

Whale watching

There are whales jumping out of the ocean that you can go watch with your houseboat. You can offer paid whale watching tours or diving tours with your houseboat by clicking on the tourist information center.

Driftwood furniture 

Collect driftwood at the beach and craft new driftwood furniture using the woodworking table from base game and Handiness skill.

Expanded mermaids

Mermaids should get their own skill tree like all other occults and more scary looking like Sirens. Sirens could also be a new type of occult. To expand Mermaids they should get…

  • Aquatic ears
  • New mermaid tails
  • Seaweed hair
  • Fish scale skin tone that makes the whole body have fish scales
  • Barnacles on body
  • Scaly arms and legs while on land

New fishes (Saltwater fishes)

Harvest edible seaweed

Seaweed grows underwater and you can harvest it and eat it.

Shipwreck Exploration

There are underwater shipwrecks that you can explore, unlock doors by finding keys in storage chests, by being gifted keys from a local Sim etc. Metal debris blocks paths. Sims must use a sledgehammer to break through metal debris. Requires Fitness skill.

Sharks live inside these shipwrecks and your Sim needs to hide from them.

    • Sausage Roll – Puff pastry filled with seasoned sausage meat.
    • Vegemite on Toast – Toast spread with Vegemite, a savory yeast extract.
    • Barramundi – A popular Australian fish, often grilled or pan-fried.
  • I really want to have aquariums as a new lot type in Sims 4 that Sims can visit. It would be a cute location for a date or to educate children about the ocean

    With Businesses & Hobbies we can own an aquarium and let people pay to visit our aquarium

  • I would like a mermaid refresh kit, pack or EP.

    Give Merfolk more activities to do in the ocean and make the ocean truly dividable and allow interactions with merfolk underwater and land like in the sims 3 Island Paradise EP. I would like more underwater lots that cater to mermaids in a mermaid refresh kit, pack or EP.
