At least, that’s what’s supposed to happen.
By which I mean clicking “explore” on a cave, and then being told what happens. While you can explore the murky deeps and seek out sunken treasure, you’re mostly just noodling around some lot-sized areas, catching fish, picking up shells, clicking View on pretty things, and exploring the odd underwater cave. The scuba diving aspect isn’t nearly as fleshed out as I’d hoped.
Much as the underwater areas are a bit small and disappointing, it does offer a welcome change of scene from the usual above-ground Sims stuff. It took awhile to make this available, as she first needed to do a fair bit of snorkelling in order to level up her diving ability (because that’s how scuba diving works), but after a week or so she was ready to explore the uncharted depths. She’s got a little speedboat of her own, and she can easily move her houseboat wherever she likes – either docking it at a pier, or leaving it out in the middle of the ocean to really confuse pizza delivery guys.īut her true love, it turns out, is scuba diving. When she’s not getting surprise tongue from perverts, Kari likes to spend as much of her free time in the water as possible. I’m going to guess this is because they are horrific creepers who want mouth-to-mouth from an athletic, friendly, punky lifeguard, even though mouth-to-mouth is only a staple of CPR when someone has nearly drowned or otherwise needs oxygen. Of course, there are also Sims who will simply collapse on the beach and demand CPR, while occasionally looking around to see if anyone’s watching. Kari also really likes shouting at people until they work out, and then shouting at them some more when they do it badly. Which you’d think would be a good way to encourage lifeguards to put people in constant danger of drowning, but oh well.
For your amazing services, you’re given a weekly stipend plus a bonus for every Sim you rescue. If a Sim does start drowning, then you have to click on them and hit Rescue. In this case, it means going to a beach during your scheduled hours and using the Survey option to make sure nobody drowns. Lifeguarding’s one of those newfangled profession things added in Ambitions, which means that – rather than disappearing into a building for 8 hours – you actually, y’know, do the work. What better job for a sporty, water-loving girl in a tropical archipelago than lifeguard, I ask you? There isn’t one, I answer, because this is text and you can’t actually respond before I finish writing this. It is exactly what you’d expect if you’ve ever seen Baywatch.įirst things first, though – Kari’s going to need some finances coming in before she can, uh, “splash out”, as it were. Lifeguards unlock the “Lifeguard Run” movement option.
