Scuba diving: Difference between revisions

There are 4 diving areas in [[Isla Paradiso]]. Each diving area has Scuba Diving skill requirement. One of the diving areas is first available to Sims when they reach the Scuba Diving skill level 2, being Rocky Reef, then level 4 Davy Jones' Locker, level 7 Mermaid Grotto and level 9 Pearl's Deep. Once the Sim boats or swims to above the dive lot, Sims with sufficient Scuba Diving skill can scuba dive underwater. The lots are decorated with many rocks, coral and other objects. There are also gems and fish on the lot that can be caught, [[underwater cave]]s to explore, and the treasure to discover. Mermaids can also often be seen and socialized with at the various dive lots. Other worlds will not be updated to have diving areas, but advanced players can add them on their own.

 

While scuba diving, Sims only have a certain amount of air to inhale (why EA adds the breathing sound effect!) before they must return to the surface. The amount of air the Sim has depends on their Scuba Diving level. The air Sims have left is shown by a moodlet. Once the first moodlet that they got when they started diving expires, they will get a negative moodlet that shows that they are having trouble breathing and should return to the surface, and if this moodlet expires after 2 hours, your sim will show the "Gasping for Air" moodlet. If he/she keeps staying underwater when it has expired, and the Sim is still in the sea, the Sim will die. (Note: this death is NOT "drowning" death). Having the '''Lungs of Steel''' [[lifetime reward]] allows Sims to dive indefinitely without worrying about oxygen.
