The Sims 3: Island Paradise - Limited Edition (computer game)

Customer Review

Now you can realize the dream of a vacation on a stunningly beautiful island. Well not quite, but you can make the dream at least its Sims.

I really wanted to continue playing my normal family in Sunset Valley and those just to stay in a resort (holidays as standard) and then the add-on to know. If you click on the phone, comes a sub-theme "Real Estate and Travel Service". I thought that I could about booking a trip, but this is not the case. You can move or open a resort, but do not go on holiday at a resort. So I had actually imagined, maybe that's all somehow, only I have not found in any case. I go strongly believe that you have to pull in the new neighborhood.
It's not so bad, I had a choice, if I go with the family in the new neighborhood "Isla Paradiso" or a new character make there. I opted for a new figure.
Isla Paradiso consists of one main island and several smaller islands. There is - as in other neighborhoods too - hospital, library, school, park, ... but partially housed in a building in order to save space. So you can pursue the known jobs, or when you move with his family to keep the jobs. There is free land and a few houses that can relate, resorts and lots moorings. If you click on a resort, one can say how long you want what evidence for a room.

One can experience a lot both on the beach and on the water. You can snorkel in the whole ocean, you can dive only at certain points, which are marked by the typical "Bottons". When diving you can then ran to his Sim zoom (double-click on the photo) and dive with him in the underwater world, with a little luck you can collect shells, find treasures and underwater caves and catch fish. In addition, you can race with surfboards, boats or jet skis over the water or chug and thus discovering unknown islands. Islands that one discovers include a so they can cultivate as they wished.

The building functions are also a stunner. So you can build homes that are right on the beach and even on stilts in the water. One can create houseboats and thus start different ports or drop anchor on the sea. The Sims can dive from the houseboat / snorkeling or fishing and also get the normal service can provide such as pizza, offered.

As a new figure there are mermaids and Mermaid men, that can be encountered while diving, but can also reside in the country itself. I have also a look over the river (Bug or can so what?). In addition to mermaids, fish, shellfish and treasures also sharks frolicking in the sea - so always mindful and be ready to fight and plan that makes the Sim in the diving suit fear.

As new jobs are the lifeguards and the resort owners.
There are also re-new badges that you can unlock. For example, 5 find islands, open 5 treasure chests, collect 25 shells, mermaids get a baby, ...
In addition there are 4 new hairstyles and a lot of new clothes. In collecting diary there are the new category "shells" that can gather on the beach and diving. There are also new species of fish (eg seahorses). One can also find four pieces of a treasure map, it will be interesting, whereas the one leads.
-> So there is a lot to discover.

The installation went easily, you download the additional bonus material for the Limited Edition needs only from the Internet, but it can be done without problems.

Alsoo poolside bar, beach parties and Mermaids - what more could you !? SEA ;) I highly recommend this game !!!

---

After the initial euphoria, I have to deduct one point in the game play for the following arguments:

- Depending on where you live, the way to certain facilities take long mistaken. One often comes late for work because of Sim also partially illogical way by boat selects / drives.
- Bug: if you are under the water Sim commands as collect shellfish, explore caves, ... he appeared often on simple and travels by boat to the next island. Annoying.
- I have a feeling that you need now longer to get properties. (But I also have a new Sim, who has different characteristics, this might be due?)
- The visit to a resort skin a not much from the stool, but at least it works for me without problems. One just needs to not cook for themselves or care for cleanliness, otherwise is really just the pool bar quite funny. In the resorts but it also has a health center, where you can enjoy a massage, etc. But what is a yes as a separate device available, but not one need in a resort. Missing events or entertainers who make the resort stay more interesting.

The job of the lifeguard is not as spectacular. Despite Promotions to do always the same thing, only that one then gradually earned more and two new options has. On the one hand, one can show other Sims mouth-to-mouth ventilations, on the other hand you can during the job spectacularly (gäähn) race or something. You have to make sure that the Sim performs the job reasonably whatsoever. If he saved a person, it no longer supervises the beach / sea, but chatted with the rescued. You have him again only encourage them to do his job. In addition, the rescued Sims run only about half the beach until they pass out and need to be revived.

The resort owner in turn is actually quite cool. It is not a job for a Sim, but you yourself take care in principle to the resort. Therefore one must pay attention to the ratings in its class, and then build the desired items and follow up with the wishes. It is not so easy to get a five-star hotel and keep. But you have to send in his Sim least once a day to crush cockroaches and collect trash, where appropriate, repair things, etc. But the Sim can follow a normal job - he has not directly to do with the resort.

For me, however, the game runs absolutely smoothly, but I have installed only this add-on.
