Island Paradise

[Caspin]

Today I wanted to learn to scuba dive, but had to start out with just snorkelling. That went rather well and netted me a nice pink shell. I am very pleased with the wetsuits!

Yeah!





Not as pleased as my sim, however, who wants to wear her swimming gear at all times. Even in the kitchen.




OK, you see that this won't work, right? What are you going to do - snort your sandwich through your air tank?




Give me strength. In other news: water taxis FTW!







I got down to just 2 simoleons (and didn't even own a cooker because I sold the contents of the house to buy a nicer bed), so I thought I'd better actually get on with the lifeguarding and try to make some money. The lifeguard career requires, apparently, charisma and athletic skill. Caspin was sent down to the gym to work on those skills and immediately demonstrated the realism in the game.




I'm just stretching, you see. Right.

Then she was called to work at surveying a local beach. She rushed down there and donned a whistle and some war paint. Is this a job or a rave?




First up - rescue hunky man. Yay!




Second - rescue a ghost. Why waste time on this? She is experienced at drowning - leave her to it!




Ghost duly pulled from water then decides she wants CPR. OK, fine, I shall raise the dead. Or one might call it over-kill (sorry).




The next day was a day off work so I thought Caspin could relax at the beach instead of being on duty. It immediately started raining. She became depressed standing on the sand, staring at some tourists who could, if they had tried harder, chosen more flattering swimwear.




It all got a bit much and Caspin had a bit of a freak-out and ran into the water fully clothed to jibber-jabber in the shallows. I think she's the one who needs help!




Crumbs.

Anyway, I tried to swim out to reach that hidden island. Swam and swam and swam (almost to the point of death!) but this is as far as I could go.




Turns out I need to look for messages in bottles and then piece together a map. This seems highly bizarre, given that the island is actually visible through the mist, but OK, EA, I'll play along.
