Island Living Vacation Rentals

Hey Summer Simmers!

I had a question regarding rentals in Island Living. My Sim went to Sulani and when I built a couple of properties for my family to stay in nothing happened. Is this a glitch? I IGed the team and other Simmers but haven’t heard anything back. Is there a guide to how to access rentals online because the Lessons menu doesn’t even mention it.

  • They don't really seem to want to do anything that connects packs together. Like some neighbourhoods could have lots that have water so if you have Island Living too you could build onto the water, etc.

    I was actually a bit surprised about this with RoM, I remember seeing it at first and my mind went "huh, they could have done more with this, why isn't there a lot with water which I could use my IL stuff on?".

    They just don't do things that connect overall, and through the whole span of the game. If I was doing Island Living I'd also want to touch up the other packs so if you have certain combinations, you could do more things in ALL the places.

    Rentals is for sure another thing that would have made total sense on Sulani.

    I like zoning a property as retail and buying it as a vacation home.
    My sim bought a property with nothing on it but a cash register, since that is a requirement.

    He used it as a campsite and would only go to Sulani on the weekends.
    As he earned more money I had him build it up to a nice vacation home and now he visits Sulani for a week.
    This will probably be my main use for Sulani. I don't want my sims to live there permanently.
    I want my sims living in other worlds to enjoy it.


    That sounds like a fab way to do it. It would beat the cheating feeling I have if I just let my sims stay at a beach lot for free :D

    I must admit, I have played sims living in Sulani and somehow it becomes less special. I think it would be nicer to do it your way and only have them buy retails as vacation homes to visit.

    I placed a nice home that fit with the Island, labeled it generic and plan to take sims there to use it


    I want to do this. It seems like my sims don't have enough time to do much when I send them for a few hours. If I bring the whole family, adults and toddlers, they can all sleep there, or do the toddlers need to be sent to daycare?

    Yes..I did this with my current family and it works out well. Tho I did also try out the destination mod for Sulani and thus far I’ve had no issues, works just like the other destination worlds. I may keep the mod because I’m not much for “playing” in Sulani, but I do like it as a vacation world for my sims. One of my newlyweds just had an amazing honeymoon there.

  • Now in 2021, you can make any residential neighborhood have a rental lot on it. As long as you purchase the Mt. Komorebi neighborhood. Check it out! It’s pretty cool.
