EA and Maxis has announced that the latest expansion to the Sims 4, Island Living is coming to the PC and Mac on June 21st and to Xbox One and PlayStation 4 on July 16th.
The Sims 4 Island Living Expansion Pack can bring their sims from the hustle and bustle of city life in exchange for a laid-back lifestyle on the tropical island of Sulani. Where Sims can relax on the beach, enjoy water activities on a glistening ocean, experience all of the cultural traditions the island has to offer, or even become a conservationist to help keep the beaches in pristine condition.
With Island Living, the development team wanted to give players the chance to escape with their Sims to a peaceful, unique paradise and truly connect with nature, this expansion will enable fans and their Sims to find their bliss, whether it is relaxing under a palm tree on the beach, befriending a mermaid along the coral reefs, or protecting the Sulani environment and ensuring that the island becomes more beautiful than ever.
Said Mike Duke, Senior Producer of The Sims 4.
The expansion pack introduces the beautiful, sun-soaked world of Sulani, where for the first time in The Sims 4, Sims can enjoy activities in the clear blue waters surrounding the island, setting sail in a peaceful canoe or going on a wild aqua zip ride alongside pods of playful dolphins that surround the island. Sims can also swim to their heart’s content, build sandcastles on the shore, or kick back and relax under the sun. Sims will immerse themselves into the Sulani lifestyle by learning local folklore, tasting traditional delicacies, dressing in tropical garb or decorating their new oasis with objects inspired by the local culture.
A new career opens up with Island Living in the form of the conservationist career. Your sims can clean up and care for their environment, the more lush and full of explosive nature it becomes. Or your sim can become a lifeguard, taking on odd jobs or fishing for their next meal.
