How does the Conservationist career impact the environment of Sulani?

How does the island's volcanic activity affect gameplay, and what are the associated risks and rewards?

The volcano can erupt, spewing lava and ash, which can damage property and pose a health risk to Sims. However, the eruptions can also trigger special events and unlock unique resources, such as volcanic rock used for crafting. There are also lot traits to manage the risks and rewards.

What are the practical uses of the various traditional Sulani crafts, such as Kava making and the creation of shell jewelry?

How does your Sim's relationship with the island spirits influence their gameplay experience?

Building a good relationship with the island spirits (represented by special lot traits and events) can grant your Sim benefits, such as increased fishing success, protection from natural disasters, or the ability to influence the weather. Negative relationships can lead to misfortune.

Are there any exclusive gameplay features tied to the different cultural aspects of Sulani (e.g., traditional festivals, clothing, or food)?

Yes, the game includes festivals with unique food, dances, and traditions that can affect a Sim's mood and relationships. Sims can also learn to cook traditional Sulani dishes, wear traditional clothing, and participate in cultural events to fully immerse themselves in the island lifestyle.

How do I get my Sim to become a child of the island?

This is more than just a title. It grants special benefits.

Snorkeling allows Sims to explore shallow waters, discover hidden treasures, and interact with marine life. Diving allows Sims to explore underwater caves, encounter rare creatures, and search for valuable objects. Diving is a higher level skill.

Can you describe the unique impact that weather conditions have on your Sim’s health and activities in Sulani?

Weather plays a significant role. Sun exposure can lead to tanning or sunburn, while rain can affect mood and activities. Tropical storms can cause property damage and necessitate emergency actions. The weather also impacts opportunities for certain activities, such as surfing or diving.
