Lots in Uncharted Islands Address or name Lots ġ18 lots in total are in Isla Paradiso: 52 commercial, 28 empty and 38 residential lots. However, the Kraken may be sighted far out into the ocean in Sunset Valley and Lucky Palms, where the water is deep enough. The Kraken will only appear in Isla Paradiso due to the depth of the oceans there most other worlds in The Sims 3 have shallow bodies of water that cannot support the Kraken. The Kraken will occasionally appear underwater when the houseboat is in the middle of the ocean for a long time, and may attack Sims if they are on a boat. One special feature from Isla Paradiso is Kraken sightings. Other residents can be seen moving the houseboats, so it's not only the player who will move the inhabited houseboats. In addition, there are many ports and premade houseboats in Isla Paradiso. Hobart's Hideaway can be purchased for free, and it is intended to be a starting resort to help players familiarize with resort management. The resorts are Hobart's Hideaway (beach style), La Costa Verde (Spanish style), and Sparkling Sands (modern style). There are 3 pre-built resorts in Isla Paradiso, which have unique themes of their own. Similar to World Adventures adventure destinations, Isla Paradiso is also scattered with treasure chests, hidden in the islands or underwater. Sims can turn the island into a private secondary residential lot, or into a resort. Once discovered, the island will be automatically owned by the discoverer. It also has 8 hidden islands, surrounding the town, which can be discovered in certain ways. For instance, it's the only world that has diving areas for Sims to scuba dive and explore underwater, although some advanced players can also make their own in other worlds. Isla Paradiso has unique features that are not available in other worlds by default. The architecture of the town is either Spanish, beach, or modern. Unlike Sunlit Tides, which has a Pacific theme, Isla Paradiso has Caribbean and Spanish themes. The town is similar to Sunlit Tides, which is also based on a tropical island theme, although Isla Paradiso has even more islands. The limited diving areas make this feel a bit lacking, even if it is something the franchise hasn’t previously done before.Isla Paradiso is located in the seas, consisting of two main islands and many small islands scattered around. The diving and underwater features appear nifty at first, but there really isn’t an awful lot to do apart from collect seashells and woo all the mermaid people who are casually living beneath the waves. There are a few new features that feel like they’re more than for show than for actual in-depth gameplay, however. The graphics have steadily improved and are still largely built on what’s come before in its predecessors, but I have to admit that the bright, warm colours and the tones and depth of the water make this one of the nicest looking Sims games to date. The resort management aspect is also a welcome addition to the game that makes it a bit more interesting, as you can buy or build a resort, manage it, charge how much your staff makes an hour and make some extra Simoleons while you’re at it. A nifty feature in Island Paradise is that it provides blueprints so you can build your homes a lot more quickly if you’re not bothered fussing over the details. You can carry out many of the old functions that were present in previous Sims games such as the buy and build modes, except, you know, over water. Things I EnjoyedĪs mentioned, the main gimmick of this game is the inclusion of aquatic activities. The resort of Isla Pardiso in which your Sims inhabit is pretty at first but also holds some secrets, such as new unlockable islands and places to inhabit. In this game, your Sims can take part in a huge range of ocean based activities, such as swimming, snorkelling and sailing, to a name a few.
