Island Paradise Expansion Pack

[Seabody]

What's the release date? It's on here somewhere but there's so many pages now!

I believe it's the 26^th, it's released on the 28^th here in NZ, and we usually get an EP about two days after the US.

Edit: It's on the first post, I was one day off. It's released on the 25^th.

Oh yeah, it's on the first post! Oops, I must of missed that! Thanks anyway, Seabody

Very... tentacle-y statue. Love the windows though.

Very... tentacle-y statue. Love the windows though.

I think its supposed to be kelp or seaweed.  Looking roward to seeing what they have inside it.

[Gogowars329]

I believe that I'm in love with that statue and those windows. They're just so cool!

[YZJay]

I'm liking the windows too, the design is so clean. At first I thought the statue was the Kraken but then I saw the three fishes so I think it's a seaweed.

[Magz from Oz]

I rather like that relief sculpture in the pediment.  I am looking forward to seeing some awesome neoclassical buildings in the swap shop come July / August.

Awesome to hear that the sharks are going to be involved in the regular swimming areas as well. I was wondering about that as well (and a little of what the lifeguard career will be like). Super excited that there is going to be an actual Kraken monster that can attack your houseboats. That's so exciting! <3

Oh, and so you can be turned into a mermaid? NICE. That at least makes up for not being able to create one in CAS. :3

Really looking forward to this expansion pack. <333

Today's Island Paradise pic is a stilted foundation house belonging to our resident crazy guy! I <3 pink swan boat.  -- SimGuruSarah



Obviously me and Artie need to meet this guy.

[Shirin]

Only if Artie gets a pink swan boat!

That house is definitely clinched the purchase for me, even though mermaids already had me pretty well set on it.

[folcon]

Well you can't have a town without at least one residant crazy guy.
