Scuba Diving in The Sims 3 is amazing (and terrifying) 

"The world is a bit buggy." TS4 Players: "Ah, feels like home."

Honestly, I'm quite fond of your channel because you're one of a slim handful of male sims players who do fun stuff like this instead of immediately installing basemental drugs and extreme violence, killing a bunch of random sims, then putting the game down never to be played again. You actually put effort into what you do and you even play female sims as often as male ones! As far as male simmers (and female simmers in another direction tbh) go you're basically a unicorn lmao

The mermaids without tails terrify me

You should try running your own resort

The Sims 3 is such a fun game! Don't feel bad for playing it so much hehe 🙂 I love your sims 3 videos!

I've been playing the sims 3 recently so much because of your videos and I'm fighting the temptation to buy loads of the packs

If you have a fear of deep water and sharks... you now owe us a video of you playing Subnautica.

Ryan I’m DYING for a let’s play or series of sorts I need the lore

The message in bottles show up at the decorative bottles - they shine a little and look sort of like a wine bottle. i saw several in the vid.

GOD I miss playing Sims 3 I LOOOOOVED the Island pack. The boat houses were great! and the kraken! THE KRAKEN!

The mermaids without tails are so bizarre lol

The pause before ‘you prick’ was superb 👌🏻😂

I LOVE your sims 3 videos I really feel like the Sims 4 is nowhere near as entertaining and your content is always hilarious. Thanks for sharing!

Thank you Ryan now i’m playing the sims 3 every day😂

Great video, this is my favourite pack in the sims 3. It provides endless gameplay and it never gets old

I was one of those who got discouraged by this EP with all the glitches and bugs when it first came out. You have definitely morivated me to give it another go! Thanks for all the laughs and effort you put into your videos like always. ☺️

I've started playing Sims 3 again on my old laptop after binging all your sims 3/2 videos and I LOVE IT never stop pls

I love this expansion pack! I would live out my dream island life through my sims. During your play through, all I could think about was how many times you saved your game because of crashes or if your sim died while diving or being taken by the Kraken.

I love these skill based playthroughs, i've never tried scuba diving before lol

Would like to see a playthrough of running a hotel in island paradise!! That was an interesting game mechanic which I miss in the sims 4😢

there's a ghost in me hotdogs 😂 please make that merch

I hope you got that gold and palladium smelted. They increase in value incredibly.

Omg I miss scuba diving sm!!!😭

I can’t play this pack, I play on my MacBook Pro M1, 64-bit metal. But on this particular configuration, all the water interactions don’t show up in the game and there is no way to fix this :( So sad, I wanted to do a rags to riches with scuba diving, so I love watching you play it ;)

i don't remember ts3 having this many grammar and spelling mistakes lol 💀

I discovered your channel a few days ago and I'm so happy I found you. You play just like me - I love it! Thank you!

I binged these sims 3 videos. Please keep them coming!

Your channel is precious ! Please never stop uploading

Thank you do much ! You're by far my favourite youtuber of the sims 💞

I finally managed to download sims 3. all because of u!!! Having so much fun ❤

i’ve been binge watching your videos since yesterday and i love them all!!!!!!

Ryan blessing us with the 4th banger video in A week. 🥰

binging your videos inspired me to download sims 3 last night, and i accidentally played for like 4 hours lmao

i am eating these sims 3 videos UPPPP

I really need to play sims 3 more, you make it look fun

Some of my favourite game play was done playing TS3 Island Paradise, it makes me sad that it's so buggy. I remember having a family I played for months and so much unplanned chaos happened but it was amazing and with all the island stuff to do, then the save broke :( and I didn't used to back up saved then, so it was gone forever.

i love these sims 3 uploads! ive been playing ts3 again & its such a buggy mess ngl 😢

ive watched ur videos so many times because i love sims and also to learn english and now my accent is slowly turning british 😵‍💫😆 love from indonesia 🇮🇩

Excited for a new video! 😊

The world isn't as buggy as you'd think. It's not on my computer. It only gets a bit laggy tbh but other than that it's great! I absolutely love that world and the things you can do in it, just wish you could do more with the island living pack in the sims 4 like this.

We're living in the golden age of RyanPlaysTheSims

Ryan I take it you’ve never played tomb raider II then, sharks galore 👏🏻

"Immediate squid."

I'm always down for ts3 vids!!

Wait till he meets Salty Seaworth!

My game used to glitch so bad and it would have part of the screen blacked out so I never got to really experience the best parts of the Sims 3, at least visually.

I loved you calling out the sloppy writing 😅

OH! Oh!!!!! Ok, to fix the mermaids you can cheat and age them up and then back down again. I have a save file where I did that with a sim that was old and soon to die anyway. Just cheat someone so they know everyone then invite all the mermaids/mermen over (I think there are four of them), age them up then go to full edit mode and put them back. It's tedious but afterwards just save the file and then every time you want to play Isla Paradiso copy it and play the copy instead of creating a new one. Or get the save file I told you about in the other post and do it in that one and same thing.

Ah man, been a looong time since I ever dropped by Isle Paradise.. I'm guessing its unstable as hell as ever and Mia is still there with her uncanny valley to the max. I kind of really miss this open-world feeling on Sims 4 regardless how buggy as hell it got. Especially around Ridgeport and of course, this island. The Neighbourhood progression is hell, but sort of kept things interesting.

“Not gonna lie I had a few drinks last night.” 2 seconds later: “this is SEYMOUR OCEAN!” You’re hungover and it SHOWS mate 😂😂😂

@ryanplaysthesims ah I’m currently on holiday in The Netherlands at the moment and I’m loving it here but I am really missing playing the sims 2 right now. I’ve even written down plans for various households for when I get back to playing on it

Anyone reading this, any advice to have this pack run better? That maybe doesn’t involve hours or deleting and moving sims? Is there a mod or anything like that? If I have to delete a lot of things that’s fine but I literally can’t play with this pack and it makes me sad! Idk if it’s my laptop or just the pack. Thanks!

can you try out the smoking model in sims 3? Would be so funny. I actually installed it and only played it once, but it can be quite annoying

Is there anything specific you do to get this pack running well? Ive read to delete the Scott family and houseboats. I have this pack installed, but never opened the world.

I want to get this pack again on my laptop but I fear it will explode

Omg, I just realised, Seymour Ocean. Hahahaha! xD

so fun lol

6:30 What?? Everyone knows mermaids have shell phones

Please do a live with scuba diving🤞🤞🤞🤞

The names you give your sims are so stupid and I love it

Love that pack but yes it is still buggy 😢 Why your mermaids don't have tails ? 😮

Three words people with lag in IP. DELETE THE HOUSEBOATS YOU can drive a houseboat, but if you don't delete the others, or make them community lots, NPC's will drive them around causing your world to tank.

❤❤❤❤

It's such an awesome pack but oh so broken and a bit unfinished. I wish it was working better.

She identifies as a mermaid or just an imposter I played Paradiso, and you could always see who was a mermaid: even on land, the had colorful scaly legs.
