Complementing the core experience, the expansion features a new skill called Fishing, alongside a collectible system for seashells and underwater treasures. Sims can learn to dive for items, interact with dolphins in the ocean, and adopt a sun-loving lifestyle. The world of Sulani is divided into three distinct neighborhoods: Ohan’ali Town, Lani St.

Taz, and the Volcano Sector, each with its own aesthetic and activities. Weather patterns include sunny days and occasional thunderstorms, with no snow, maintaining the tropical vibe. The expansion also brings a new lot type called “Beach” which allows for unique lot traits and activities. Families and single Sims alike can enjoy the relaxed pace, from hosting bonfires on the sand to attending the annual Island Recruit festival.
