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.

A [[conservationist]] career is also introduced along with lifeguard, diver and fisherman [[part-time job]]s.
