Island Paradise Expansion Pack

[saltpastillen]

Also looks like we are getting some new one piece swimsuits. That'll be nice.

I'm sure there must be a new world now. Those pictures don't look like any other world, except maybe Sunlit Tides, but not everyone has that. I'm hoping it won't be too similar to Sunlit Tides, though.

And the announce trailer is officially here!

Water skiing? Wow! I'm very disappointed in houseboats though. There just normal houses floating on platforms.

Now that I've seen the trailer, I think I want this expansion more than any other! I'm wondering about the uncharted island thing. Will the  new world have lots of islands with nothing on them or something like that?

I'm most excited about the resorts. I can't wait to build my own hotel and theme the rooms and stuff!

EDIT: I really loved the interaction with the mother and toddler where she's holding him and he's kind of splashing in the water. It looks quite cute

I totally saw the mother and toddler playing and thought the same thing, so cute!

I can't wait for this to come out... just have to persuade the man of the house to spend his money buying me stuff...

They could have at least made it a boat-shaped platform. That's a houseraft.

[Twinmum]

Depends on your perception of a houseboat. I think of houseboats as being very squarish and so see nothing wrong with what they have. If you do a google image search for houseboat, you will see a number of square boats.

[Seabody]

I'd imagine that houseboats are built on the stilted foundation, which will probably come with a diagonal variant - so a boat shaped houseboat would be possible.

I must say I am actually really pumped for this EP. Seriously, I didn't really like it at the start but I honestly am really looking forward to June now.

Ooh, so cool! That was nice because when I just watched it the first time I didn't pick up on most of that, it was more like, 'Ooh! Colour! Aah! Oh, it's over.'
