Tropical Island EP Speculation

So if EP 7 does turn out to have a tropical island theme, what are you hoping to see included?

Things I'd like to see:

Swimmable oceans and assorted water activities (snorkeling, water games, surfing maybe)

Sun loungers and the ability to tan in them or on a beach towel (I'd also love if they could nap on the beach towel)

Seashell collection

New harvestables and recipes (Pineapple, mango, coconuts)

More stuff for pools (floaties, diving board, water games)

A nice assortment of hot weather and swimsuit CAS assets for all ages

Hotels would be fun but I can see them saving this for a game pack

I'd love for there to be an underwater lot you could explore by scuba diving

Mermaids in said underwater lot

Island culture and hula dance (Maybe as a new location aspiration)

New traits (Chill, Water Lover) and aspirations (Island Culture, Beach Bum)

An old fortress turned into a tourist site with food and souvenir stands

A lone island with a single lot so that you can have a private island home

A waterfall you can woohoo behind (like the lighthouse in Cats&Dogs)

A lagoon that glows at night

A natural looking hotspring hottub

Hammocks

Shuffleboard


Also, they always tend to mix it up so as not to be an exact repeat of past packs. So I'm half expecting a unique twist to the tropical theme. Could be they center it around romance or something nobody's expecting. Any thoughts?

Prehaps they ll add a ferris wheel,carousel and boardwalk. A mini Amusement Park.

Personally I'd rather hope that the rumour is false. This is not because I would not want a tropical themed pack, especially with what you have described, but because I would much rather have a university based pack at this point.

Houseboats are my favorite thing from TS3: Island Paradise. I’d be disappointed if they don’t make a return in TS4.

I want another vacation spot if that is what its going to be. I am sick of Granite Falls and Selvadorada already even though my sims never go on vacation. I mean Granite Falls is ok because its family oriented. Selvadorada doesn't seem like a place to have kids with you.

Houseboats could be fun, but I'm not sure how they would implement them in a non-open world setting. I suppose they could give you a base to build on and it would just permanently be parked by the dock.

Id want a tiny deserted island lot for a castaway type challenge. Also i would like having a lake sims could boat and swim in and the ability to fish from a boat.

I mainly just want the ability to stay in hotels. I'd really like to have different types of hotels (family friendly, romantic getaway, pet friendly if you own C&D, etc).
I also want kids and toddlers to have the ability to play in the sand and build sandcastles.
Swimming in the ocean would be nice. I'd like toddlers to be able to play near the edge of the water.

I'ld go with all of that specially the ability to swim and a lot of other activities.
I wouldn't care for mermaids or shuffleboards, but wouldn't mind if they come with the supposed pack.
Anyway I really thought that an education pack is what we would have at this time. I can feel the appeal of this one but kind of feel a little frustrated...

I'd like to see them incorporate some seasons things like getting sun burnt or getting a nice tan.
Tanning machines.
New traits: Likes sunshine, Hates sunshine, likes water, hydrophobia
New harvestables
Honeymoons
All the little additions that make the game special!

I think it'd be cool if for the first time it's both a Vacation world AND a residential world.

We need more pool items like the Pool Bar and Waterfall from island paradise, as well as water slides and diving boards.

I'm sure @catloverplayer would agree on more pool objects LOL.
