Port

Ports are the building blocks of a houseboat included in The Sims 3: Island Paradise. Isla Paradiso has plenty of pre-made ports around town, however, one can build their own ports from scratch in any town using the stilted foundations. Additionally, one can save any of the pre-made ports to the neighborhood bin via Edit Town Mode, and then place them on lots in other worlds.

The following boat types and sizes are available for placement on ports:
