Anything else comment down below!
It's not exactly what I wanted in a Tropical Island pack and I wasn't planning to get it until University gets announced.
But I was intrigued at making it the kind of pack I can use with work-arounds, so I wanted to try it out.
I had my sims buy a house zoned as a retail business. It's basically a vacation home.
It's very pretty and the ocean sounds are so relaxing.
That's what I mainly wanted it for, so I can give my sims a change of pace from their ordinary lives in the other worlds.
So I tried it out with my celebrity sims from Del Sol Valley. The paparazzi were so annoying and they came inside the house despite locked doors. I gave up on it, sent them back to Del Sol Valley, and sold the retail property.
I then had Yuki and Candy Behr buy it and things are so much better.
It's a bit annoying to have to call in for vacation time everyday, but it works basically.
I made over the Sand Bar bar to be more of a party place and I really love the lot.
This makes Sulani feel more like a tourist destination now, but that's how I am playing it anyway.
My Celebrity sims giving the vacation home (retail store lot) a test run.
The whole story in pictures:
Spoiler
Paparazzi arrives and heads to the ladder so he can climb onto the deck.
I removed the door so he can't get in.
This one is locked and temporarily keeps him out, but...
...there must be an action that they do that does not recognize a locked door on a retail lot.
So back to Del Sol Valley for my famous sims.
Candy Behr and Yuki take it over, adding some more color to the place.
That's Candy getting a tan, au naturel.
I made over the Sand Bar bar.
Yuki is feeling moody because she didn't like the fruit salad Candy made for breakfast.
It's still early so they play cards for fun.
I really like this place.
Melonie was one of my Celebrity sims that owned the vacation house previously.
She is visiting Sulani on her own. I see she has a tan.
Candy is the one with a deep tan.
I sent them out for some snorkeling to pass the time.
Later that evening the bar is packed with sims.
My famous sims are there getting all the attention.
And this is a mermaid.
I know because I had went into CAS to edit her and discovered she was a mermaid.
Too bad they used up most of their vacation time already.
I want them to get to know her. They will have to invite her over to Windenburg when they get back.
I am glad that these celebs are my sims, otherwise I would be highly annoyed with them. :D
So great place.
I just have to get to know more natives and invite them along so there are more islanders represented in this place.
