Island Paradise is right around the corner simmers! I have just finished updating WhipperWhirl’s amazing fact sheet with information from the latest fansite/developer previews. This will be the final update we make to the fact sheet, as I will begin working on the game guide. Enjoy!
Isla Paradiso is the new scenario of The Sims 3 Island Paradise expansion pack and I must admit that the name is so perfect! It’s an archipelago with many islands, relaxing beaches, beautiful resorts and ocean depths to explore. The map is one of the biggest ever made for The Sims 3 and some islands are not visible but you have to discover them while playing.
The main island has a nice center with the city hall, a sea museum, a cinema, a central park and much more. Isla Paradiso also contains an hospital, a school, a supermarket, a stadium and many entertainment places (parks, restaurants, gyms , resorts and so on). As you can imagine it’s plenty of beaches and ports.

There is a rumor going around regarding a “The Sims 3 Trading Empire” expansion pack. SimGuruSarah has bluntly confirmed the expansion is fake, and any information regarding this expansion is false.
Please remember that it has already been confirmed that The Sims 3 Into the Future Expansion, is indeed the final expansion for The Sims 3 series. This was officially confirmed back in May.
Also, be very leery of any retail listings that so quickly contain specifics on the “expansion”. If we have yet to see any information on SP 9 and EP 11, chances are that the 12th expansion would not contain any information. (Let alone a full description of the game!)
The Sims 3 Trading Empire is NOT a real expansion pack. It’s just someone spreading false information and fake rumors.
