Review: Best Sims Expansion in a Long Time - I received my Sims 3 Island Paradise in the mail today from desertcart. Loading it up was just as easy as any of the other past sims games. I also received the limited edition material, but I havent gotten far enough to use it yet. So far, I love this expansion pack. It is fresh and exciting. The graphics are beautiful. The additions of the house boats, house on stilts, and resorts are awesome too. Boats are how you travel from island to island. Sims can own their own boats and park them, just like you would a car. There are taxi boats too, which is something I didnt realize at first. Be aware - your sims may get sea sick but you can buy a reward to avoid it. I have only played the game for a few hours but here are some of the additions I have noticed: There are 2 new traits: Sailor & Loves to Swim. Several new lifetime wishes: Deep Sea Diver (collecting items), Grand Explorer(discover/own all hidden islands), Resort Empire (5 star resort with major profit), Seaside Sailor (Lifeguard rescues) New skills: Scuba Diving I am really enjoying this feature. First you must learn to snorkel then you can move on to scuba diving. Some places are too dangerous to snorkel so you need to increase your level by practicing more. This aspect reminds of the World Adventures since you explore new caves - similar to the dive wells. You collect items, catch fish, and meet mermaids under water. There is probably more but I havent discovered it yet. Honestly, I love this game so far. It is awesome... if you love sims, you will LOVE this. Its a GREAT addition. Side note - there is not a prima guide for this game, which is surprising so if you want tips, you will have to seek them out on the internet. Happy Sailing Sims Review: Finally!!!! - Finally EA has made an expansion pack, that i truly love (since Generations and Pets) and will never get bored with, this EP has so much to do in it and it is so much fun. My rich Sims can truly live the "Life Styles Of The Rich and Famous", You can own more than one home (I waited so long for this) and your Sims can live on house boats, swim, snorkel, become a life guard (new Job added) meet mermaids, live on your own island, own/run a resort, travel Island by Island on houseboat, speedboat, paddle boat, water cycle mobile, wind surf, you can still drive cars on land, deep sea diving, treasure hunt while under water, get attacked by sharks, it is also possible to be attacked by a Kracken/octapuss and more stuff to do. It is a series of Islands spread out in the tropics (of course) and yes you can change the weather to be always "summertime", you can buy house boats already build (1 to 3 bedroom) or build your own on a blank barge, it`s up to you. There are also hidden Islands that you can find (hidden by Fog) and other Islands you can explore/discover. There is also an "Island Survival" downloadable you can get and pretend you are "Tom Hanks" stranded on an Island. (smile) This EP is truly a dream come true and you will fall in love with The Sims3, all over again and become even more addicted than ever. I really and truly recommend this add-on to "The Sims3" Thanks ## Features - Be it by paddleboat or speedboat, your Sims can now leave port to discover new lands and explore like never before, from inter-island travel to discovering their own uncharted island - Create a family-friendly resort of waterslides and buffet tables, a romantic retreat dotted with minimalist cottages, or a singles resort featuring multiple pool bars where Sims can mingle and flirt. Choose and fine-tune your amenities, set your price - See what surprises await under the sea as your Sims build their skills in snorkeling/scuba diving. Your Sims may find them on the shore of a new island or discover sunken or buried treasure - New stilted foundations give your Sims the best of both worlds, a home that's partially on the water and partially on land. Build a resort, create travelling houseboats, and customize your very own island paradise for your Sims - Requires The Sims 3 to play ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00BGGIWZM | | Best Sellers Rank | #27,210 in Video Games ( See Top 100 in Video Games ) #40 in Mac-compatible Games #699 in PC-compatible Games | | Computer Platform | PC | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 4.4 out of 5 stars (824) | | Date First Available | February 16, 2013 | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00146337301288 | | Is Discontinued By Manufacturer | No | | Item Weight | 2.4 ounces | | Item model number | 73012 | | Language | English | | Manufacturer | Electronic Arts | | Product Dimensions | 7.44 x 5.31 x 0.28 inches; 2.4 ounces | | Publication Date | June 25, 2013 | | Rated | Teen | | Release date | June 25, 2013 | | Type of item | Video Game | | UPC | 012302820422 146337301288 021112521092 014633730128 | ## Images ![The Sims 3 Island Paradise - PC/Mac - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81HMIQbkkCL.jpg) ![The Sims 3 Island Paradise - PC/Mac - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/41KgourZxCL.jpg) ![The Sims 3 Island Paradise - PC/Mac - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/41W7OtXCZ0L.jpg) ![The Sims 3 Island Paradise - PC/Mac - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/41TcBdDeEzL.jpg) ![The Sims 3 Island Paradise - PC/Mac - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51WzbguWjjL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Platform For Display** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Best Sims Expansion in a Long Time *by P***E on June 28, 2013* I received my Sims 3 Island Paradise in the mail today from Amazon.

I really and truly recommend this add-on to "The Sims3" Thanks ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent expansion for the Sims 3 franchise. *by T***S on September 8, 2013* ** NOTE: This is an expansion pack (EP). You must have the Sims 3 base game in order to use this expansion pack. ** EA's struck gold again with this expansion to its mega-popular Sims franchise. In this one, the theme is "fun in the sun," with beach- and resort-themed play and objects to enjoy. With Maxis at the helm, what could go wrong? Indeed, this is just one solid hit after another, with gorgeously thematic objects and Create-a-Sim (CAS) stuff and added gameplay that reinforces the theme. EA's well aware that one of The Sims 2's strengths was the ability to own and run a business, and here, they give players the ability to develop and run a resort. Resorts are one of the most obvious new features to the game, and they're addictive to create. They can be themed a variety of ways, though the ones EA's favored are a traditional beach theme which is a bit Bohemian, "Spanish," which looks like Southern California to me, and something modernistic. The blueprint system they introduced a while ago gets a major update here with a variety of new rooms including pools, which have been majorly updated too and aren't just pretty landscaping anymore; you can install pool bars, slides, and waterfalls as well as the old-school diving boards. Every day, guests visit the resort and rate it, and their activities and ratings influence how much money the resort owner gets. Resorts can be placed in any gameworld just like any other lot type. Along with resorts, players also now have the ability to have any number of home lots in a world--and can move between lots (as well as gameworlds) almost effortlessly. As to home lots, players can build as many homes or resorts in one town as they like, or chuck it all and just go live on a houseboat. Yep, houseboat. They're easy to build and handle, and their biggest strength is that they can sail--and dock--just about anywhere! I love houseboats. Beaches have also been updated. Now players can direct their Sims to "play in the ocean" or even play with toddlers in the ocean, holding their little hands so the tykes can safely kick and laugh in the water. Sims can lay out in the sun (they get their own bright-colored towels to lay on). Any age of Sim can now make sand castles. And with a lifeguard chair on the lot, a Sim can now be a lifeguard, one of the new professions. One of the other major updates to the game involves dive lots. A Sim can now go snorkeling or SCUBA diving and find treasure and meet mermaids. These underwater dive jaunts are so incredibly beautiful and evocative. I can't say enough how gorgeous these lots are. Some have treasure chests that can be opened like mummy sarcophagi in World Adventures; many have secret caves that can be explored (but watch out for the tentacled beasts!) as rabbitholes. And with careful planning, players can create their own dive lots. The expansion's town, Isla Paradiso, is incredibly thematic. Each rabbithole and house looks perfectly in place for a Caribbean sort of theme, with colorful yellows, blues, pinks, and oranges predominating. The plants and building supplies are colorful and gorgeously wrought. The pre-made Sims are also perfect--I liked the back stories and appreciated the diverse cast of characters. The islands are time-consuming to travel, but there are some new methods of transportation--windsurfing boards, swan boats, speedboats, or just water taxis if you're poor. Or your houseboat, of course. The island chain also features secret islands discovered via gameplay. I didn't see much here that was too sexually suggestive beyond the stuff that the Sims 3 already features; there are some new WooHoo locations, but as always, sexual activity is adult-only and carefully censored. There is obviously no cursing, and aside from the pool bars that serve juices of various kinds, no suggestion of alcohol or drugs that I've seen. Some of the new outfits for men and women alike get a little skimpy, which didn't bother me but might be of concern to others. If so, make sure to check out the online fansites' writeups about them before picking this up. The Limited Edition version of this game includes a bunch of "stranded castaway" objects and CAS stuff. I LOVED that stuff; it's well-made all the way around and definitely looks spot-on for what it is. Anybody wanting to build "poverty" lots or needs more ragged clothing for a werewolf will like this stuff. I recommend getting the LE if you can. Overall, I hugely recommend this expansion to anybody even vaguely interested in this particular theme. As noted, this is an expansion, so it requires the base game in order to be played. It doesn't require an internet connection or Sims 3 forum account to use. I use the disk on both my Mac and PC, and will mention that on the PC it runs like a charm, but on the Mac, I get a lot of memory errors due to my machine not being top-of-the-line anymore. It doesn't run at all if I use all of my expansion packs, stuff packs, and Store downloadable content, but with the game totally crippled (I use about 20% of my total TS3 purchases on the Mac), it runs fairly tolerably. I'd be very cautious about getting this expansion if your Mac is already throwing Error 12s or crashing-to-desktop and you don't want to uninstall oodles of stuff; as you might be able to tell from my description, this EP is very memory-intensive and will definitely wreak havoc on a delicate ecosystem. I'm reluctantly docking this EP a star because I just can't play it on my Mac without seriously gimping my Sims 3 build. I wish EA would make a more Mac-friendly experience with this franchise. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tw/products/171018-the-sims-3-island-paradise-pc-mac](https://www.desertcart.tw/products/171018-the-sims-3-island-paradise-pc-mac) --- *Product available on Desertcart Taiwan* *Store origin: TW* *Last updated: 2026-06-03*
