The Sims 4 Island Living: Sulani

Rejuvenating the Island's Ecosystem via Conservationist Activities

The Sims 4 Island Living includes an Island nation known as Sulani. The island is home to a refuge for wildlife, the Island of Mua Pel'am. Evidently, consumerism and pollution have begun to take hold on your arrival, as the island is quite polluted and in need of a Conservationist to clean things up. Note that both the system and fact that the new Career exists encourage you to play a Conservationist, but it's by no means impossible to clean up the Island while ignoring the new environmentally-conscious Career Track. After all, individuals can make a difference, right?

The Sims 4 Island Living: Conservationists and Sulani's Environment

Learn about the Conservationist Career and cleaning up Sulani's Ecosystem. The island can be improved twice, for mostly visual effects but the new career is hands-on and offers various ways to make money.

How It Works

Island Living features a points system of sorts that scores how polluted the island of Mua Pel'am is at the present time. Initially, it's set at the worst level so it's possible to beautify the island and make it a true paradise, live on a huge lot with no one else around in your own island paradise (heh). Don't get me wrong, the island is not a gunky hellhole at first but there are areas where pollution is present and obvious to the naked eye. There's also not much wildlife and not many flowers.

Improving The Environment

Certain actions you take will display a leaf over your Sim's heart, indicating they have made an impact on the island's health. The amount of actions you need to take to clean up the island vary dramatically based upon the points you receive for said action. Combing the beach for trash is useful, sure, but not as useful as stopping litterbugs. However it may be easier to pick up a lot of beach debris than stop litterbugs. All in all searching the beach at Mua Pel'am for larger debris is good for a regular Sim, but Conservationists have it made.

So What Happens When I Clean Up Sulani?

Well, the appearance of the Island I mentioned changes quite a bit. Trees grow more green (stage 2) and increase in density (stage 3). Corals grow (stage 3), more butterflies appear (stage 2+3), and there are exponentially more blossoming flowers (stage 2+3). In fact I didn't realize how drab the whole place looked until I did a before and after. The remainder of the islands are in a pristine state, so you can sort of ignore this ecological stuff if you want without it being of issue. You may even like the drab look better, you weirdo you. Either way there are cheats for that, but they do require TwistedMexi's AllCheats Mod to use. You can see the cheats on my page for Island Living Cheats and there is also a link to AllCheats in the section about the Island Conservation Narrative there.

More to It

There's more to this system. A few events may happen when you've cleaned up the Island. Also, the island's resident Elementals may be more pleased with you if you've done enough to take care of the land. I'm going to get into that with other pages but will list the events here after a time. I don't want to spoil *everything* about the pack, just want to make people aware of systems that exist as the game isn't very direct about announcing this like StrangerVille was.

A question about the Cleanup and Environment Interaction Scores: do you know the exact scores needed for each stage?

I ran into a bug with cleaning up piles (routing issues, my sim can never get to the piles on land), just wondering how long it'll take me to advance without doing the new career.

Not sure on scores per stage but it takes about 100 points all up.

Points for "assault and battery on a litterbug." Is it bad that I laughed out loud at that?

When this unlocks at L3 you click on a fishing sign to survey it, if you get a notification that there are invasive species to be sprayed there then you can click on that same fishing sign to spray.

You will see a sim walking around Mua Pel'am with an '!" above their head. This is the litter bug. If you watch them they will drop piles of rubbish around the island or rummage in the bins and cause rubbish that way.

Does anyone know if Mua Pel'am goes back to being polluted if not consistently looked after?

No, it will always just remain static as whatever stage your sim is at of the clean up effort. So if you get bored of it and want to focus on something else, when you get back to the island it will be exactly the same as you left it.

I'm having a glitch cleaning up the two piles with the extinguisher live in your intro video at about 44 seconds in. I chose clean up, my sims uses the extinguisher but they dont go away, nothing happens. I even started a new game and it does the same thing. Not sure what the problem is. And yes I started conservation career. Is there a specific level needed for those two piles?

No level needed, your sims can clean these piles even when not in the career. Save and close your game then delete the localthumbcache.package file found in your TheSims4 folder. Now open your game and try again.

You have to clean each pile 3 times for it to disappear.

Sounds like your save file has a bug sadly. This isn't occurring in my game so perhaps you might like to make a bug report about this. Make sure you've tested it again in a new save file with no cc and no mods.

I have a Conservationist Sim working in Willow Creek but I'm still doing the actions needed to improve the island - e.g prepare grant application and enthuse about conservation. However, I do not see the green leaf which is indicative for the island's improvement. To be clear, would I have to move my Sim out of Willow Creek and only do Conservationist activities in Sulani?

You wouldn't need to live in Sulani but you would need to be doing those actions in Sulani. For one example, buy your sim a laptop, travel to Sulani bar, live drag laptop out and then prepare the grant there.
