New aspiration
The new aspiration introduced in this expansion is called Beach Life. A Sim with this aspiration likes to spend time on the beach and participate in all the activities associated with it. Sunbathing, eating coconuts or swimming in the ocean - all of these activities are a pleasure to your Sim.
New character traits
The Island Living expansion also introduces two new character traits:
- Child of the Ocean - Sims with this trait love to spend time in the ocean.
- Child of the Islands - Sims with this trait are tied to the traditions of the island and can summon ancient elementals with whom they can talk (just click on your Sim and select the option to call elementals).
New lot traits
The expansion has also added new lot traits:
- Volcanic activity - earthquakes, hot steam, and volcanic eruptions occur periodically in this lot.
- Island spirits - this lot is sometimes visited by ancient spirits of the island with whom you can talk.
- Aquatic Paradise - you can encounter dolphins and rare fish in this lot.
New hairstyles and clothes
New clothes, hair or makeup are a must for a new expansion. The expansion has introduced several new beach and island-themed accessories - costumes, snorkeling masks or holiday jewelry.
New objects
Among the new objects, we can find premises and objects useful in building a house, but also functional vehicles. Several types of ships allow for extra fun and quick movement on the water.
Dolphins
On Sulani, you have a good chance of meeting a dolphin (if you play as a mermaid, you can even summon it while in the water). Dolphins are not only lovely animals but also fully-fledged friends. You can talk to them and play together.
