The Sims 4 Island Living was developed by Maxis and published by Electronic Arts, released in 2019. It is a major expansion pack that transports Sims to the tropical island of Sulani and adds lifestyle, environmental and leisure systems focused on seaside living and island culture.

The pack introduces the world of Sulani with distinct districts, beaches, tide pools and village hubs, new water activities such as snorkeling, canoeing and diving, beachside festivals and cultural events, and the ability to encounter and befriend mermaids. Gameplay additions include the Conservationist activity where Sims can clean beaches and help ecosystems recover, a lifeguard career and odd-jobs like fishing and foraging, plus a large selection of tropical-themed build/buy items and island-inspired clothing to support beachside stories.

Promotion for Island Living followed EA and Maxis’ standard channels, using trailers, store listings and social media reveals that showcased Sulani’s environments, mermaids, and conservation mechanics; developer previews, creator showcases and livestreams highlighted festival events, water gameplay and build possibilities, positioning the pack as a lifestyle expansion for players seeking a relaxed, narrative-rich island experience.

Reception was generally positive with some mixed responses, with many players praising the evocative worldbuilding, the mermaid content and the environmental gameplay that offered fresh roleplay options, while criticisms focused on technical issues at launch, limited depth in some mechanics and occasional repetitive activities. Overall Island Living found an audience among players who enjoy immersive destination-based content, outdoor water gameplay and culturally themed storytelling.
