    If you're trying to get a badge then this thread might help.

    A lot of the badges are broken. Sometimes you need to revert to an earlier patch to get badges as they got broken by patches. Others never worked and have been disabled by EA. But you can still get a lot of them. I don't know if the one you're talking about is broken or not. But the person who started the thread I linked has done a lot of work on finding out how to get the badges that can still be got.

    I recently managed to discover all of the hidden islands but the badge didn't unlock. I'll just have to do it again without any supernaturals in the household and hope it works that time.

    No, not trying to get a badge pour just want to finish one thing to unlock an Island. Beat a shark ! :)

    but i cant if i'm a mermaid

    If you are prepared to use a mod you can change the occult state with Master Controller. It is available on THE NRAAS site. I can't post a link now but if you Google NRAAS you should find it. It's a very popular place.

    I used a genie when I unlocked that island.

    I don't usually play in IP and I rarely control a mermaid so you probably know more about them than I do.

    Ok Thanks Karritz. Does someone can help ?

    Can you put your sim back into Create a Sim and change them from there?

    No unless you use mods. NRAAS have a mod that lets you do all sorts of useful things

    If you don't use mods clicking on a mirror will let you change hair or makeup. Click on a dresser to change clothes. Plan outfit.

    The stylist station will let you give them a makeover. I think that's just hair makeup and clothes. I think it takes with Ambitions.

    You might need to place it yourself. Lots that came with other expansions may be placed automatically when you start a new game. But if there isn't a suitable lot available it might be skipped. It's a good idea to check if all lots you want in your game are there before you start playing. I often have to place various career lots when I start a new world. This applies to all worlds. Not just this one.

    What does the game block? I have no clue on what you're talking about other than it may have something to do with Pets. Sorry.

    @Aslan I apologize if I am incorrect, but is English not your native language? Your sentences appear to have some grammar issues that might confuse the details of your question.

    This Expansion is known to have many problems. Most of them can be fixed in one way or another. Could you repost your question more clearly?

    Does the game run at all, or does it crash immediately? If it does run, when does the trouble begin, and in what way? Please let me know and I'll see how I can help you.

    I have Island Paradise, but I have never even tried Isla Paradiso because of how much lag I heard it causes.

    I use the fixed version of the world that EllaCharmed made.

    https://ellacharmed.wordpress.com/2013/10/05/isla-paradiso/

    It is a world file - she took it into CAW and fixed issues with it. If you choose to use it - make sure you keep a backup of your original world file just in case you need to revert to it for some reason. Failure to do this will mean you'd have to uninstall Island Paradise and reinstall it to get your original world file back again.

    The world file replaces the file in:

    Program Files(x86)\ - not sure what goes here on your computer it is Electronic Arts on my computer - \The Sims 3 Island Paradise\Game Data\Shared\Non Packaged\Worlds\

    I use the single world file she made, not the one she has on MTS as it is in parts and needs to be merged and you'll need to get it from MTS as that's where the instructions are on how to put it together.


    There is another version of the fixed world by @Caine - she has fixed the broken houses and left the world file alone. If you download the world file I've linked to you'll still need to fix the broken houses and there are a lot of them.


    EDIT: Very Important - I forgot to mention you'll need to delete your cache files. There are 5 in your Sims 3 folder in Documents and 1 more in

    Program Files(x86)\ - not sure what goes here on your computer it is Electronic Arts on my computer - \The Sims 3 Island Paradise\Caches

    That file in Caches will probably only be there if you've ever launched the world. You can delete these caches any time and they'll be replaced.

    There may be another two in the World Caches folder in your Sims 3 folder in My Documents. You will need to delete it too. If you have a Mac the caches in the World Caches folder need to be left there or your games in that world will be corrupted but if you don't delete it after changing the world file then you'll have problems too.

    @Karritz - The one with the fixed up world is @ciane - I think the forum text editor auto-selected the wrong member on you there. :)

    Her fixed up ready to play world is here: http://forums.thesims.com/en_US/discussion/811253/removing-ip-lag/p1
