I'm more like a Thanksgiving Dinner that was cooked too much because someone left the oven on high temp., but ya know what you're stuck with me now and your just gonna have to deal with it and eat.

are you… halloween night or christmas morning? twinkling lights or glowing candles? swing sets or merry-go-rounds? a bouquet of balloons or a bouquet of flowers? blankets just out of the dryer or cookies just out of the oven?

“The exact location of your dream lies in entangled in your childhood memory.” When I was young I had visions of myself swimming the seas alongside magnificent giants of the deep. I envisioned myself with a fin gliding through the dynamic blue space like all the creatures around me. Coming to Hawaii and finding the ocean was in a lot of ways like fulfilling my destiny or returning to where I had lived in a life before this one. @mermaid_kayleigh . . .

Sims 3 Tutorial:  Creating an Uncharted Island

The Sims 3: Island Paradise.  

Disclaimer:  I found this tutorial some time ago and can’t remember where I found it.  I have altered the text in many places and provided my own screenshots from Sunset Valley.

This simple tutorial shows how to create a hidden island in The Sims 3.  Isla Paradiso is the only premade world that features the hidden islands, one of the main features in Island Paradise.  There are 8 uncharted islands to unlock, and each of them has different ways to be unlocked. One problem of this feature is that the discovering the hidden islands is the main objective of Grand Explorer lifetime wish. Because hidden islands are only available in Isla Paradiso, there's no other way to fulfill this lifetime wish than to move to that world or to vacation in it.

Preparation

Requirements: 1.      Enable testingCheatsEnabled true 2.      Enable buyDebug on 3.      Uncharted Island Marker

Download Uncharted Island Marker override.   (requires Island Paradise)

The marker is hidden in the game by default, so you’ll need to download the override to find it in Buy > Debug >Misc Objects, or (for quicker access) Buy > Debug > Tomb Objects.  Unzip the file and place it in the Mods/Overrides folder.

A "hidden island" is a lot that has an Uncharted Island Marker and surrounded by dense fog to make the lot inaccessible or viewable.  Once the player unlocks a lot, the fog will fade, the marker will vanish, and the lot will immediately become a private residential lot, owned by the Sim who discovered it.

The Uncharted Island Marker is similar to the Tomb Room Marker from World Adventures, which is used to mark a room as a tomb. 

Steps

First, set up a regular residential lot that the player intends to "hide".  It could be furnished or just an empty lot.  You can place a lot or use an existing residential lot.

Enable the testingCheatsEnabled true and buyDebug on cheats. Find the Uncharted Island Marker at the tomb or misc. section of buydebug. Place the marker anywhere on the lot.

Ctrl+Shift+Click the marker, and it will show the options available.

Use the "Set Discovery Type" to set how the lot can be unlocked. There are 8 ways to unlock the islands. Choose one that best suits how to unlock it:

CayToCity:  Unlocked by rescuing 35 Sims as a Lifeguard.

ResortMogul:  Unlocked by owning a 5-star resort.

PlumbobIsland:  Unlocked by finding a PlumbBob map in a treasure chest or a message in a bottle.

LocalsRefuge:  Unlocked by completing an opportunity chain by asking the resort desk clerk for an adventure.

ExplorersReward:  Unlocked by swimming / going right to the island / lot.

TreasureHunt:  Unlocked by finding 4 pieces of map and reconstructing it into a full map.

ScubaSurprise:  Unlocked by exploring a certain underwater cave with level 10 Scuba Diving skill.

MermaidSecret:  Unlocked by befriending a townie mermaid.

It is important to consider how to unlock the islands, because not all features might be available in other worlds, unless the players have provided them.  For example, there's no way to unlock a hidden lot by using ResortMogul,  LocalsRefuge, ScubaSurprise, or MermaidSecret if the world doesn't have a resort or diving area.  Although the LocalsRefuge type starts at a resort, one of the steps in the chain requires fighting a shark, which requires a dive lot.

For map pieces, Seashell and Bottle Lander Spawners (common, uncommon and rare found under Debug > Rocks/Gems/Metal Spawners) can be placed on beach lots (or any lot for that matter).  IP Treasure Chest Land (Debug > Misc) can also be placed about the world.  The default treasure includes a map piece.  You can Ctrl+Shift+click the treasure chest in Buy Mode to change the treasure type.

Use the "Set Effect" to set the fog visual effect to hide the lot, like the ones in Isla Paradiso.  Use just one of the effects, and leave it be.  Don't repeat the selection more than once.

When the steps are done, the lot will fog over, and when viewed in the map view or edit town, the lot will not generate a map tag.  It means the lot is successfully hidden.

Check if the lot is properly hidden.  If you’re certain that you’ve done the steps properly, there's no need to actually test it.  However, we can always double-check if the methods were done right.  In order to do this, (save your progress) make a Sim with the Grand Explorer lifetime wish and move them into the world. Open up the cheat console and enter discoverAllUnchartedIslands cheat.  If the lifetime wish is fulfilled, it means the lot is successfully hidden, ready to be discovered properly.
