Warm Sands & the Ocean Blue
Discover a new paradise that’s yours to explore, from the heart of the island to the ocean’s blue depths. For the first time ever, take your adventures to the sea with all-new water gameplay. Canoe, swim, dive & snorkel to your heart’s content!

Set Sail for Sulani
Take a break from the hustle & bustle and head to Sulani, where the sands are warm and the locals are friendly. Start an inspiring career that enhances the island’s beauty, watch baby turtles hatch or relax by working on your tan. The freedom to chill is yours.

Relax in Sulani
The sun shines bright on the beautiful islands of Sulani. Dive into the glistening waters where you can paddle a canoe & swim with dolphins. Take to the beaches to build a sand castle, catch some rays & even meet a mermaid!

Pitch In & Help Out
Go green & become a conservationist by cleaning up the beaches. Watch your Sims’ impact bloom all over the island. Take to the waves as a fisherman, diver or lifeguard. Or take a more laid-back approach by performing odd jobs or fishing for your Sims’ next meal. Go green & become a conservationist by cleaning up the beaches.

Island Vibes
Dress your Sims in tropical garb inspired by the sun, sand and waves. Turn your beach home into a rustic oasis, then unwind at the tiki bar. Everything is chill (except for the occasional sunburn) here on the island.

Experience Local Culture
Tradition runs deep in Sulani: let your Sims experience everything it has to offer. Attend a pit barbecue event, learn about local folklore, taste tropical delicacies and chat with island elders.

Thanks, Anadius! I used the information you shared here to make a NEW POST on my website!

How is everybody doing?

Sure. 

That "overhaul patch" will probably be included/released (on here), alongside the actual DLC. As usual, that patch will come out a few days before the actual DLC, so it's not likely there will be a crack just for the patch.

UPDATE: It has been brought to my attention by several other Game Changers who attended the special live stream event that EA never confirmed that they are working on updating other worlds, but instead said they wouldn’t “close the door” on it.
Additionally, Polish fansite DotSim released a mega post article detailing this portion of the stream, and they too are confirming the same as above. Below is a translated quote from SimGuruJill who hosted this special live stream.
“We talked a lot about it before. We are not closing the option of upgrading existing worlds, nor are we closing ourselves to adding ocean swimming in future worlds, but at this moment we had to focus on creating this option in The Sims 4 Island life – said SimGuruJill during the closed show.”

I thought so, but listen to this:

So for what I understood, correct me if I'm wrong, Swimming only in the Sulani Archipelago . However, reading between the lines, since none of the game changers have answered my question yet, I think Sulani would be like an open world? I certainly hope so; I don't want to be riding a jetski to another island or a coral reef and get a loading screen, that would be bad.

Unesty wrote:So far from the videos of the game changers I watched I can say for sure:
-No swimming in the ocean outside of Sulani.
-The open worldish thing is like the rest of the game, just a lot more ocean space than other worlds so we can use aqua zips and canoes. You can move freely inside the neighborhoods, not Sulani.
-You can't see your Sims when they dive, it's like a rabbit hole. I give a minus point because of this to this pack.
-Mermaids seem to be more advanced than sims 3 this is a plus but I think it would be better if they could dive. A primary trait of mermaids, imo, is that they can breathe under water. I see a lost opportunity to make a mermaid lot, which is under water and you can visit either with a mermaid or scuba gear.
-You still have loading screens to travel from lot to lot, you can just use the aqua zips and canoes to move around the neighborhood without changing the lot.

There are pretty good build and buy mode items, I really love the new outfits. The world of Sulani is also beautiful.

Don't expect too much from the pack so you won't be disappointed.
