Is swimming available in other worlds too?
I've been away from the Sims for quite some time now so I'm just seeing this new EP. Does Island Living allow you to swim in other worlds or only in Sulani?

I think (hope) they will patch swimmable oceans into a few of the worlds eventually, particularly Granite Falls Windenburg, Brindleton Bay and Del Sol Valley.
I was playing on the island in Windenburg just before the IL patch dropped and I did notice that the water changed its appearance noticeably after the patch. Prior to the patch I examined the water, which was opaque and dark blue, and thought to myself that it looked just like paint, that it was only an effect. After the patch, in certain spots, the water now looked like water and was even transparent in a few places, and sure enough those turned out to be places where Sims could wade. If they add depth (which they could easily do, it seems to me) these waters should be swimmable and sailable (with a boat) like the oceans were in TS3.
If they don’t or drag their feet, simmers should just keep pestering them and endlessly asking when swimmable oceans are coming, until they give them to us. It worked with toddlers: initially they suggested we were never getting them, but most simmers would not let them go, and sure enough we got them back, better than ever.
