The expansion pack allows Sims to live in the world of [[Sulani]], a tropical island full of deep waters, beaches and volcanic activity. Sims can enjoy themselves in many relaxing beach activities, lounging in cool waters, or exploring the oceans by either snorkeling or canoeing, where they can even meet [[mermaid]]s, a playable life state reintroduced in this pack from ''The Sims 3: Island Paradise''. Alongside mermaids, Sims can befriend [[dolphin]]s, friendly aquatic creatures. Newcomer Sims to Sulani can introduce themselves to the friendly locals, who have many interesting traditions and can teach them more about their culture through their folklore stories. A [[conservationist]] career is also introduced along with lifeguard, diver and fisherman [[part-time job]]s.

===Mermaids===
{{Main|Mermaid#The Sims 4: Island Living}}
Mermaids have similar needs to normal Sims, but replace the ''[[Hygiene]]'' need with a new need, Hydration. In order to maintain this need, a mermaid Sim can go swimming (either in the ocean or a swimming pool), shower, bathe or take a drink of water. In exchange for this restriction, mermaids have the ability to influence the moods and actions of other Sims with various Siren Songs, most of which deplete Hydration. While swimming in the ocean, mermaids also have the ability to summon an [[Dolphin|azure dolphin]]. Azure dolphins function identically to regular dolphins, save for the ability to summon them anywhere.
