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, ...
Forum Discussion
So now that we know more or less what is coming in this expansion, let's see how many of my wishes came true:
Swimmable oceans and assorted water activities (snorkeling, water games, surfing maybe)
Check - no surfing or water games but plenty of other stuff
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)
Check - plus tan lines that match your clothing!
Seashell collection
Check - Plus new fish and other collectables
New harvestables and recipes (Pineapple, mango, coconuts)
Check - Pineapple, coconut and a couple others
More stuff for pools (floaties, diving board, water games)
Check - only floaties but it's something
A nice assortment of hot weather and swimsuit CAS assets for all ages
Check - a beautiful assortment
Hotels would be fun but I can see them saving this for a game pack
Nope - but half wasn't expecting them
I'd love for there to be an underwater lot you could explore by scuba diving
Nope - But I've heard rumors of a secret lot, so we'll see what that's about
Mermaids in said underwater lot
Check - and they're gorgeous and well thought out
Island culture and hula dance (Maybe as a new location aspiration)
Check - Not sure about a new dance, but island culture is confirmed
New traits (Chill, Water Lover) and aspirations (Island Culture, Beach Bum)
Check - Two new traits and one new aspiration (I think it's even called Beach Bum)
An old fortress turned into a tourist site with food and souvenir stands
Nope - But I kinda like what we got better anyways
A lone island with a single lot so that you can have a private island home
Check - The nature preserve island is just what I was looking for
A waterfall you can woohoo behind (like the lighthouse in Cats&Dogs)
Check!!! - I'm so excited this is actually a thing, and you can shower in it too!
A lagoon that glows at night
Check - I've heard that it you clean up the island the lagoon glows at night!
A natural looking hotspring hottub
Nope - There does look to be some natural hotspring pools, but I think they're just decorative
Hammocks
Nope - Sad but maybe someday
Shuffleboard
Nope - Just wanted it for elders, but it dosen't really fit this pack so I get it
Plus dolphins, boats, a volcano, an intractable world, barbecue pit, and the off the grid lot trait!
Overall I would say I am very satisfied with what they have given us. Scuba diving would have been awesome, but I understand they needed to set this expansion apart from past iterations of the island theme and I think they've done an amazing job! I'm so excited!
