I have the week off so really want to play the new ep but obviously isn’t out yet, so anyone have any ideas how to get ready for it?I was thinking of making a family with a teen and when it comes out having her move to the island/maybe start a family with an islander eventually. What should I do to set her up and to make this a game save I actually stick with this time? lolOpen to any suggestions or just hearing what you like to doAnyone else doing anything similar?Edit oh sorry this is in the wrong section! On mobile oops

I posted my ideas in another thread as well. I usually don’t plan a story line ahead of time, I like to wing it ? but for this pack I’m so excited I’ve decided to plan. I’m going to make a young adult and her elder father. She just moved back to the island she grew up on to take care of her father. She hasn’t been back since her mother passed away. Her father is now refreshing her memory of their culture. He’s also encouraging her to clean up the island. He’s going to teach her how to sail and fish to make a living. I love how we can fish right from the canoes so I’ll probably make them fishermen. Eventually her father will die and she will start a family of her own and pass on the traditions. I have this all planned out in my head but when the pack actually releases I’ll probably be too excited and make a random mermaid or something ??? I’m open to other story lines as well. What’s everyone else’s plans?

According to a tweet I saw, the embargo lifts June 11. I want to get a look around to see what kind of house will fit in with the surroundings and the environment and then I plan on building and preparing to move my current sim. Super excited for this pack!

After seeing the ea play video, I spent the day working on the gardening asp. to get the trait. Going to be prepared to put out any fires on my lot from the volcano.

Nice thread. I always like seeing how people plan to play. Mostly so I can steal ideas.

I'm feeling a little inspired by Moana so I think my storyline is gonna be a young girl discovering the ancient forbidden stories of her people with the help of her grandmother while her father tries to stop her because of a secret in his past

Finally got a story in mind.

I'll bring a sim to the island. Unlike his distinguished and sophisticated family, he'll be a kooky, occult-loving mystery hunter and photographer. After seeing the island's trashed state, he gets involved with conservation and discovers that he really cares about taking care of the Earth.

I did notice that there was a Mona-like boat in the scenes they showed

yeah in that CAS video I saw there was a shirt that reminded me of the one she wears, maybe the devs were inspired by the movie a touch as well

What if your explorer goes to Selvadorada and discovers a mermaid living in the hidden pool.

I'd love cross-pack features like that. :D So far it looks like everything is contained in Sulani, but maybe the devs will surprise us

I already have some members of families I want to transform into mermaids, and I want to start building a spa, a restaurant, a club, and maybe a park. (Will have to see how big the lots are, though.)

I am working on creating and progressing a sim into a celebrity, and then I plan to transform her into a mermaid as well.

I don't really lan ahead I just adapt the current family into it. So depending on who's aging and what not I'll have them select a Island Living career and go from there.
