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 ShuffleboardAlso, 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?

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 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.

I suppose they could give you a base to build on and it would just permanently be parked by the dock.

I want them to swim in Willow Creek lakes, Dannydanbo. When did the devs say editing old worlds will affect our saves? : /

Everything you described sounds amazingggg! I really miss the beach from sims 3 so I just really want a nice beach my sims can chill on and host parties at (I used to do a lot of beach parties in sims 3 and I miss that). I also love the idea of hotels, thought like another poster said, that might be a good idea for a game pack. I just really love the idea of having my sims spend a few nights away with room service, perks, the option for cheap hostels and luxury hotels and the experiences that can come along with them, which could prove very entertaining.

This makes me want resorts/hotels even more than I wanted them!

There better be curved pools in Tropical Paradise!

If the next EP is about the beach and ocean swimming, why would they waste time and money on stuff for pools? The point of ocean swimming is to NOT swimming in pools, so pool stuff (which would be a better stuff pack) would be unnecessary.

True. I would rather them have a stuff pack with water slides and stuff. The only thing that I want in Tropical Paradise that's pool -related is pool floaties since you can use those in the ocean too.

But why do we want to pay $40 for things we can’t use in other worlds. I don’t want to pay $40 for 1 world, no matter what I can do in it. All EP’s have systems that work throughout worlds, what would this one have?

But do they. I cannot have a star studio in any world but the one it comes with or apts and the festivals anywhere but CL. Did you buy those? Shoot GTW careers are not in any world period - we just go there. That is actually more the norm in this game - not the exception. Look at house rentals they are only in Vacation worlds even.

If Island Paradise is the next pack almost 1 year after the Caribbean free content, does the Yeti costume mean a Winter Vacation pack is planned soon ?

I hope so but if it is it would be a Gamepack.

If theoretically true, I'm okay with not swimming in Willow Creek, Brindleton Bay, etc... most of those places don't seem like places I'd go swimming in anyway. *shrugs*

This. Nothing about the bodies of water we have in game now would make me want to have my Sims swim in it except for Granite Falls.

Isn't the base game giveaway just a temporary trial?
