In other worlds, you can also create your own ports. The instructions for building ports are available in the “New Game Options” section.
Scuba dive in Rocky Reef
In The Sims 3, the ocean is a vast place full of hidden gems, and Scuba Diving is one of them. If your Sim has the skill to scuba dive, you can access the first Diving Spot at level 2. As you progress through the game, you can unlock new underwater treasure chests and new dive lots. Here are the details about the four dive lots. Each dive lot contains underwater caves and some of them offer new ways to exit the game, while others have collectibles or uncharted islands.
There are four diving lots in the game, each with different requirements and rewards for advancing your Sim’s Scuba Diving skill. Rocky Reef is the first dive lot available to the player once they have reached Scuba Diving skill level two. Other areas of the game are Davy Jones’ Locker, Mermaid Grotto, and Pearl’s Deep. Each of these places has unique treasures to find, and the player can earn new collectibles by visiting each one.
Scuba dive in Plumbob Island
You can Scuba dive in Plumbob Island in The Sims 3. There are many underwater locations to explore. But there is one thing you should remember if you want to survive the adventure! Sharks are lurking in the ocean, so if you go Scuba Diving, you are at risk of getting attacked by a shark. The best way to avoid getting attacked is to wear a Life Jacket, but keep your Sim’s body temperature at a comfortable level. Moreover, it is possible to use the “Watch & Examine” moodlet, which will give your Sim the ability to swim without being attacked by a shark. Moreover, when your Sim tries Scuba Diving, they will also have the skill level of Level 10.
After you have reached the Scuba Diving skill level 10, you can go for the Mermaid’s Secret Island. To get there, you must first befriend a mermaid, and then go for scuba diving. Once you get there, your Sim will find a treasure chest with a painting called “Evolution of the Plumbob”. This painting is also sellable, and it will fetch you around 12,000 simoleons. You can also find new Sea Life while diving in Plumbob Island. These creatures do not raise your Fishing Skill, and you can’t catch them using bait.
Creating a hidden island
If you want to create a hidden island in the Sims 3 game, you can unlock it by buying a lot marked Uncharted Isle. This lot is surrounded by fog, which makes it inaccessible. Once you unlock it, the fog disappears and it turns into an individual residential lot owned by you. Before you can create your own hidden island, you must unlock the marker in the buydebug mode. Alternatively, you can prepare a normal residential lot. In either case, you can prepare it with a furnished or empty house.
The only way to unlock hidden islands is to purchase a premade world called Isla Paradiso. This premade world contains eight hidden islands that you can explore. Using this item, you can find and unlock all eight hidden islands. Getting one of these islands is a main goal of the Grand Explorer lifetime wish, and it requires moving to Isla Paradiso. You will receive a bonus when you find one of these islands.
