These gameplay goals are enhanced by the existence of Life is a Beach. A beach bar is being constructed, a town hall is being constructed, houses are being constructed. My aim is to make this beach an habitual environment. As a whole, the new atmosphere combined with EA’s extension packs managed to create really engaging gaming moments in The Sims 4. The lack of roads in the map makes the beach seem more explorative than other Sims 4 maps. Outdoor Retreat‘s scattered bonfires or park rangers help illustrate this survival scenario.

Sims would use Get Together‘s new bushes as toilets and light up Get Together‘s new bon-fires. My sims managed to form clubs with other survivors in the island, where they’d garden, build furniture, fish and survive together. Released on December 21st 2015, the mod follows up on Get Together‘s release. There couldn’t have been a more perfect timing with this mod. One of my three survivors | Image: Screenshot from game. Yes, I’m replicating The Sims 2 Castaway with The Sims 4 gorgeously updated engine. Three of my sims became ‘castaways’ in this island and had to build shelter, build a business and build a home. Having removed all the lots in this town, I chose to utilise this remote setting as an abandoned island resort. I chose to combine this mod with Zerbu’s World Type Changes Mod, allowing Granite Beach to be a residential world. Towns are small, so players are forced to imagine and simulate a storyline in their head. EA’s new extension pack Get Together brings a similar coastal setting, yet Life is a Beach rewards players with a more remote setting.

The beauty of The Sims 4 closed environment is that it emulates playing with a doll house. Despite the lack of mods, there are still some talented customisations to the game such as this mod.

The modding community in The Sims 4 is smaller compared to its predecessors. The coast of Granite Beach |Image: Screenshot from game. While it may seem like the modification isn’t that big of a deal, it can provide a brand new set of story techniques for sim gamers. The redesign changes the layout of trees, colours the terrain to a sandy tone and makes the town seem brighter overall.
