[[File:The_Sims_3_Island_Paradise_Cover.jpg|right|link=The Sims 3: Island Paradise|180px]][[File:TS3IP_Reflect.png|left|link=The Sims 3: Island Paradise|50px]]'''[[The Sims 3: Island Paradise]]''' is the tenth expansion pack for ''The Sims 3''. It was announced during a January 2013 "Live Chat with The Sims 3" event, and was released starting on June 25, 2013.
'''[[Bonehilda]]''' is an [[NPC]] that was introduced in ''[[The Sims: Makin' Magic]]'', and later returned in ''[[The Sims 3: Supernatural]]'' and ''[[The Sims 4: Paranormal Stuff]]''. She can be summoned from either a special upright [[coffin]]{{Vgversion|TS:MM}}{{Vgversion|TS3:SN}} or by performing a [[Medium|seance]]{{Vgversion|TS4:PS}}.
 
She mainly functions as a [[maid]], with the ability to clean a Sim's house free of charge. However, depending on the game, she can also repair broken appliances, do [[laundry]], tend to a [[garden]], socialize, prepare meals, and care for children. As a walking [[skeleton]], any human maids who see her while they are working may freak out and quit their job, and house guests will generally be [[tense]] in her presence. In [[Haunted house residential|haunted houses]]{{Vgversion|TS4:PS}}, she is able to protect the residents by fighting off a vengeful spirit known as [[Temperance]].
Island Paradise introduced several new features to The Sims series for the first time, including [[Boat|boating]], diving, and [[resort]] ownership. Diver Sims may encounter [[Shark|sharks]] or [[Mermaid|mermaids]], all while finding valuable sunken treasures. Sims can own and drive boats around open water, and can discover unexplored islands which can then be claimed by the Sim. Sims can start and manage their own [[resort]]s, and work towards increasing the resort quality and its profitability.
 
Bonehilda will occasionally grab a drink from a nearby [[Bar (object)|bar]], [[sink]] or [[refrigerator]] when she has nothing else to do, which will humorously flow right through her and leave a puddle on the floor. She also seems to be a fan of the [[Grim Reaper]], and might stop to ask him for an autograph if he shows up{{Vgversion|TS:MM}}.
A new world, [[Isla Paradiso]], was introduced with the pack, and it showcases the new features in the pack. Unlike the sub-neighborhoods introduced in ''[[The Sims: Vacation|The Sims: Vacation/On Holiday]]'', ''[[The Sims 2: Bon Voyage]]'' or ''[[The Sims 3: World Adventures]]'', Isla Paradiso is a full neighborhood. Sims from other neighborhoods cannot visit Isla Paradiso as tourists, though they can relocate there (as of [[The Sims 3/Patch 55|Patch 55]]).
 
Removing her skeletal appearance using cheats or mods results in a Sim that resembles the Grim Reaper{{Vgversion|TS3:SN}}, or a light-skinned woman with long red hair and green eyes{{Vgversion|TS4:PS}}.
