Island Paradise Expansion Pack

[ladyaya]

The houseboat shown in the broadcast was awesome! I wonder just how diverse they can be in size and shape. And the new all in one bathroom sure saves on space. I also wonder just how much interaction there would be with the mermaids. Could they be brought into the household? Can they come on land? Can you have children with them? So many questions just about them.

The mermaids haven't been confirmed. That's just speculation.

The mermaids are confirmed via interview with Sims 3 Dev SimGuruCri.

That sunset is beautiful and the house on the water looks brilliant, and straw hats! What more could I ask for

[cndneh]

scuba diving... boats....

*squeeee*  can't wait!

Holy amazing new EP I should get, Batman! And those houseboats are making me wonder a couple of things:
1. Will be be able to paint the hulls? (If so, I'm painting my yellow and it's going to be just a yellow submarine hull in the ocean.)
2. If I have children in the house boat, will they go to school? Or will we be able to (finally) homeschool our youngesters?
I think the All-In-One-Bathroom looks intresting, and a big space saver. Pair that with the bed from University, and my sims will never worry about bedroom space. (I hope.) Mermaids? HECK YEAH! And now my sims will scuba! (Something I'll probably never learn, but I want to.)
I'm so looking forward to this!

I wasn't really sure about this EP at firtst, but I must say it's starting to look really cool and it not even far from done I can't wait to get to play it! The resort thing sounds really interesting and I'd love to build a big big house boat. I guess I'll have to wait and see what they will do in sizes of the house boats. I'd be cool if it was big enough for a dynasty... I fear not, but fingers crossed

I went a head pre-orded mine.  I clicked the Carl's Origin link, so I hope this site gets a little something from it. 

[Lunarpixels]

I am so looking forward to this expansion! I can't wait for house-boats! In real life I am terrified of boats but I love house-boats! Can't wait to scuba-dive!

Just wondering is there a link for this interview?

[Rainbow Dash]

Finally! I've been wanting snorkling and scuba diving and boating for ages and was reeally upset when they didn't come with Seasons! Now if only they would release the Surfing Stimulator that came in The Sims 2 then I'd be fufilled. I'm excited about Mermaids and treasure hunting!

Where is this Live chat broadcast Can someone give me a link please
