During today’s EA Play event a brand-new expansion pack, Island Living, was announced for The Sims 4. The new pack will see players living it out o the tropical Polynesian island of Sulani. Cold ocean waters, tiki bars, sun tanning and an active volcano, Island Living looks to introduce plenty of new and exciting features for the Sim 4 experience.

The new pack will come stocked with tons of new island themed outfits, such as clothing, accessories and hairstyles. And for the first time, players will also be able to have their sims dive into the ocean with open water gameplay. When cooling off in the waters, sims will be able to partake in a variety of activities like snorkeling, diving and even befriending dolphins.

There’s also a few new jobs introduced into the new expansion like becoming a dive instructor or the new career path of a Conservationist. The Conservationist role will have players cleaning up and taking care of the ecosystem within Sulani in a world where the island alters depending on how well do your job. The better you do, the more lush and lively the island becomes over time.

There will also be large support from the locals who will help out fellow sim neighbors during various hazards like fires, throw festivals your sim family can partake in and even throw their own Cava parties.
