Island spirits and elementals - I'm confused

I don't understand the spirits - elementals - and the child of the islands - how do all those work together - or do they not?
  • From SimsVip game guide.

    Elementals
    Elementals are ghosts native to Sulani that can be found on the island. Elementals are protective of the land they inhabited when they were alive, so they like to see the Sulani culture and geography thrive.

    Sims with the Child of the Islands trait have the ability to Summon Island Elements in Sulani, which will trigger an event called “Commuting with Sulani Elementals.” This will make a few Elementals appear for the Sim to interact with. However, this event only lasts a few hours, and once it is over, the Elementals will disappear.

    Island Spirits
    Lots with the Island Spirits lot trait, such as the Hoapili residence in Ohan’ali Town, frequently experience visits from clusters of light known as Spirits.

  • It's a half a*sed feature that they shouldve left out as it wasn't executed properly. The elementals are just ghosts that appear and stand around like a welcome wagon if you call them and that's it.
  • So weird you brought this up now.... I was JUST playing Island Living last night, and had a Sim with the "Child of the Island" trait, and discovered he could summon elementals (they look like ghost Sims). But I apparently disappointed them, and I have no idea how to please them...

    Do you have a Sim with child of the islands trait?

    Best I could find on my issue is these: https://www.reddit.com/r/thesims/comments/c4yimi/what_the_heck_did_i_do_to_anger_the_elementals/

    From what I gather: In order to please the elementals, your Sim must take part in the island culture, so — picking up trash around the island, hosting kava parties, and probably making cultural dishes.

    If you’re talking about the Child of the Island trait, here’s what counts:

    Taking part in the festivals
    Throwing a kava party
    Cooking with the pit
    Watch baby turtles hatch
    Listening to Island Radio
    Eating Island Recipes
    Cleaning up the island


    As for the significance of elementals...?

    If you find this answer out, let me know... I have yet to please them. :(
