When EA introduced as we speak that The Sims 4‘s next expansion would be Island Living, I imagined a quiet existence in a cottage somewhere round the outer Hebrides, starting every day with a bracing swim watched by seals and maybe, eventually, finding I too was a selkie but my skin was callously kept from me but I sneak into the cruel fisherman’s hut and steal it again and return to dwell within the sea as I do know I ought to. It will not be that. No, Island Living introduces the genericised Polynesian-ish tropical island of Sulani, the place we are able to dwell life like an influencer’s Instagram feed. But you could be a mermaid.
Of you go, again to the island (in a darkish nook of nowhere, the huddled wretch as soon as referred to as Alec Meer begins hissing “It’s coming! I do know it! It’s coming! The Vengabus is coming!), to dwell in raised wood homes or above the ocean on stilts, swim, sunbathe, swim, maybe get a summer time job as a lifeguard or conservationist, swim, change into a mermaid, swim, and even swim.
It may be very a lot a vacationer expertise. Except, as acknowledged, not the form of vacationer expertise the place I swim in icy water, sit on the seaside and stare out to sea for hours, then swim once more.
“Sulani traditions outline the island, and your Sims wouldn’t attain actual island heights in the event that they didn’t expertise as many as attainable,” EA say. “Immerse Sims in their newfound lifestyle by bonding with neighbours at the fiery Island Celebration, taking part in local culture, tasting tropical delicacies, and pleasing ancient spirits from the island.”
The Sims 4 Island Living is coming via Origin on June 21st (effectively, late on the 20th for us within the UK) priced at £35.
EA dropped a cheeky little point out that, after this, The Sims Four will develop with Realm Of Magic in autumn.
