Isla Paradiso

Isla Paradiso is a world that is featured in The Sims 3: Island Paradise. The town is an archipelago that consists of many islands and is used to showcase the many features of Island Paradise.
==Overview==
Isla Paradiso is located in the seas, consisting of two main islands and many small islands scattered around. The town is similar to Sunlit Tides, which is also based on a tropical island theme, although Isla Paradiso has even more islands. Unlike Sunlit Tides, which has a Pacific theme, Isla Paradiso has Caribbean and Spanish themes. The architecture of the town is either Spanish, beach, or modern.
Isla Paradiso has unique features that are not available in other worlds by default. For instance, it's the only world that has diving areas for Sims to scuba dive and explore underwater, although some advanced players can also make their own in other worlds. It also has 8 hidden islands, surrounding the town, which can be discovered in certain ways. Once discovered, the island will be automatically owned by the discoverer. Sims can turn the island into a private secondary residential lot, or into a resort. Similar to World Adventures adventure destinations, Isla Paradiso is also scattered with treasure chests, hidden in the islands or underwater.
There are 3 pre-built resorts in Isla Paradiso, which have unique themes of their own. The resorts are Hobart's Hideaway (beach style), La Costa Verde (Spanish style), and Sparkling Sands (modern style). Hobart's Hideaway can be purchased for free, and it is intended to be a starting resort to help players familiarize with resort management. In addition, there are many ports and premade houseboats in Isla Paradiso. Other residents can be seen moving the houseboats, so it's not only the player who will move the inhabited houseboats.
One special feature from Isla Paradiso is Kraken sightings. The Kraken will occasionally appear underwater when the houseboat is in the middle of the ocean for a long time, and may attack Sims if they are on a boat. The Kraken will only appear in Isla Paradiso due to the depth of the oceans there; most other worlds in The Sims 3 have shallow bodies of water that cannot support the Kraken. However, the Kraken may be sighted far out into the ocean in Sunset Valley and Lucky Palms, where the water is deep enough.
==Lots==
118 lots in total are in Isla Paradiso: 52 commercial, 28 empty and 38 residential lots.

==Islands==
Many of the islands have names given to them by their lots' addresses, with pre-placed rabbitholes spread across the 3 largest of them.
Loosely sorted in descending order of features, followed by the islands' sizes:
Name 	Main features 	Housed residents
Isla Paradiso 	Main and largest island	42
Surf Island 	Grocery, diner 	8
Science Island 	Science lab 	1
Kraken Island 	Home lot 	1
Isla Zamora 	Home lot 	1
Fire Island 	Port, Empty lot 	0
The Lonely Isle 	Port 	0
Pirate Island 	Empty lot 	0
Serenity Isle 	Empty lot 	0
Isla Romantica 	Empty lot 	0
Shark Bite Island	Empty lot 	0
Various other unnamed and hidden islands can also be walked on by Sims. There are no bridges between any of the islands; trying to create a pedestrian bridge by placing a custom lot that touches on multiple islands, will usually crash the game to desktop unless discoverAllUnchartedIslands has been used.

==Trivia==
*This town contains more beaches than normal, due to the amount of islands and thus, shores.
*Wild animals, such as wild horses, deer, and raccoon are restricted from appearing in Isla Paradiso.
*All ports start with the letter "P".
*The arch is based on the Santa Catalina Arch located in Antigua Guatemala, Guatemala.
*"Isla" stands for "island" in Spanish while "paradiso" is Italian for "paradise".
*Isla Paradiso was inspired by various Caribbean islands such as Barbados, Cuba, Jamaica, Puerto Rico, and Hispaniola (Dominican Republic and Haiti).
*This neighborhood contains some references to the animated musical movie produced by Disney in 1989, The Little Mermaid, especially when it comes to mermaids. The movie depicts a redhead mermaid, Ariel, who longs to become human. Ariel Walsh is in looks very similar to the main character and when the games starts, she is (already) a human. There is also a mermaid called Mia Azul which also references Ariel. Triton King's name refers to Ariel's father, the Sea's King, King Triton, but the title is used as a last name instead. He doesn't agree with her decision to become a human. The movie's antagonist, the Sea Witch, Ursula, is referred to in a townie's name, Ursula Randall.
*The Scott family has been known to cause lag in Isla Paradiso, although the family is not the sole cause of lag. At the start of the game, the family's houseboat isn't docked at a port. This is usually resolved by Twallan's ErrorTrap mod. Players can also play the family and dock the house to prevent this, or move them into another lot. Ms. Scott is also pregnant, but employed and not on maternity leave. She will encounter constant errors attempting to change into her work uniform (which is impossible due to her pregnancy).
*The Collins family has a similar error attributable to them, as Mrs. Collins is pregnant but still employed and not on maternity leave. She will therefore attempt to change into a work uniform, which is impossible due to her pregnancy.
*All townies and NPCs from the world lack individual personal biographies. All female Sims have the biography "The sun, surf, and sand are the best part of living here!", while all male Sims have the biography "Isn't it wonderful to live so close to the beach!", and all deceased Sims from the world lack individual personal biographies. All female Sims have the biography "Being trapped forever in such a beautiful place isn't so bad...", while all male Sims have the biography "Being a ghost in paradise... I could do worse".
*After a patch following the release of Island Paradise, several pre-made mothers no longer have biological connection to their children. This is the case for Rosemarie Collins, Persephone Han, Carolina Ichtaca, Linda Scott and Lopita Alto.
*Lag is also caused with Pets installed due to the setup of the main central park, where puppies and kittens will be placed at the top of the stairs in the park and encounter routing errors constantly attempting to get down.
*Most of the port homes for houseboats are poorly constructed and Sims will encounter routing errors attempting to get onto their houseboats and off of their houseboats. The only way to deal with lag in this area is to get lucky (sometimes the game can and will run without lag) or to make extensive changes to the world before beginning a game in the area.
*NPCs will frequently abandon boats all over the archipelago and cause performance issue as they quickly accumulate over time. Twallan's Overwatch mod will delete all abandoned vehicles (including boats) daily, otherwise the player will have to regularity check the archipelago and manually delete each boat.
*Although the four pre-made mermaids (Mia, Maya, Triton and Salty) are technically homeless, they will sometimes visit a resort or other community lot together as a household.
*This world is also the last world from an expansion pack for The Sims 3 that is not a sub-world or a world from The Sims 3 Store.
