If living in a tropical paradise sounds exactly like something your Sim wants, thenThe Sims 4: Island Livingis the expansion pack for you. The breathtaking world of Sulani is perfect for lounging on the beach, swimming in crystal blue waters, and enjoying the rich culture of the islands.
Along with the idyllic lifestyle, your Sims can enjoy two new Household Collections to finish with Island Living. Seashells and Buried Treasure await your Sim in Sulani. Once you know how to get your hands on them, your Sims will have tons of treasure before you may even dip your toes in the water.
How To Get Seashells
The best way to get Seashells is tocomb for seashells on the beach. This can done anywhere there is a beach in Sulani.
Have your Sim head to any beach and click anywhere on the sand. ChooseBeachcomb, then chooseComb Beach for Seashells. Your Sim will begin to dig in the sand to look for shells they can add to their inventory. They will search multiple spots with this option.
While combing the beach is the easiest way to get Seashells, Sims can also find themwhile diving in the water. This is not a guaranteed way to find shells, but it can be successful.
Finally, Sims can also find Seashellswhile exploring the cave on Mua Pe’lam, which can be found on the Admiral’s Wreckage lot. Your Sim will disappear into the cave for a few hours, and occasionally come back out with some shells.
If your Sim befriends a dolphin, there’s a chance that they will be gifted a Seashell from their porpoise friend. This is the most difficult way to obtain shells but can grant your Sim uncommon or rare ones.

How To Get Buried Treasure
Buried Treasure is a bit harder to get than Seashells. Your Sim will need to purchase theTreasure Tool diving gearandthen go scuba divingto findBuried Treasure.
You’ll need to find anorange buoyout in open water to be able to dive. This is also where you may purchase the Treasure Tool.
Once you’ve purchased it, you can choose toDive for Treasure. Your Sim will dive down under the water for a while and often resurface with Buried Treasure.
If your Sim is a Mermaid or is level 3 in Fitness or higher, they can alsofree dive for treasure. This opens up more locations for your Sim to look for Buried Treasure.
Just like Seashells, it’s possible for a dolphin to bring your Buried Treasure, or to find it while exploring the caves near the Admiral’s Wreckage. These are more difficult to achieve but can be done.

The Buried Treasures come in both weathered conditions, such as Faded and Tarnished, to pristine condition.
If you’re able to find the treasure in good condition, it will be able to be sold for more Simoleons. All treasure in good condition is either uncommon or rare, though, so it’s harder to find.
The treasures all contain lore about Sulani’s history. You can hover over them while in your inventory to read the pieces of Sulani culture that come with them.
