The Sims 3: Island Paradise is the tenth expansion pack for The Sims 3. It was announced during a live event and press conference in January 2013, and was released on June 25, 2013 in the US.
Island Paradise is about giving the Sims paradise and experiencing it. It is vacation-themed, similarly to The Sims: Vacation, The Sims 2: Bon Voyage and the first expansion pack The Sims 3, World Adventures. It has a new world which is named Isla Paradiso, an archipelago with islands to explore.
Island adventures in paradise await your Sims! From exploring the isles in fully customizable houseboats to creating a five-star resort experience, your Sims will love the carefree tropical lifestyle. Nautical Sims can set sail between islands and dive underwater to uncover sunken treasure—or maybe even befriend a mermaid! With innovative features never before seen in The Sims PC franchise and a world of new possibilities on land and in sea, your Sims will reap the benefits of their own island paradise.
These features are confirmed by the developers from the first live broadcast after it was announced.

Island Paradise was announced as one of the line-ups of 2013 in The Sims series via a press release.[2] During the broadcast, it was stated that the expansion pack is still in the early development stage and only one screenshot was shown. It has been said that it will be released on June 25, 2013 in North America, June 27 in Europe and June 28 in the United Kingdom.[3]
The Island Survival pack equips your Sims with the necessities to scrape together an existence on a deserted island, fashion a makeshift home on a floating barge, build and escape to a minimalist retreat in the middle of the ocean—or enjoy these back-to-basic pieces in the comfort of civilization! With more items than any previous Limited Editions from The Sims 3, your Sim will have everything they need to sport that island survival look, from tattered togs to shipwreck-inspired furnishings. With the Island Survival Pack, your Sims will be ready to simplify their lives in an island paradise!
- The stories of paradise lost... and found – From telling the tale of your Sims stranded at sea to decorating an austere stilted home, you can build and play out new stories that show off a different side of island paradise.
- Bring the island into your Sim's home – Furnish their homes with one-of-a-kind shipwrecked-chic items. Your Sims can drift off to a perfect night's sleep in a canopy bed, made of re-purposed driftwood.
- More Limited Edition content than ever before – Packed full of clothing, furniture, and décor options that will allow you to extend the way you play with your own island paradise.
