Wanmami Island Real Estate Properties

Wanmami Island 15 Available Lots
Wanmami Island's 15 Lots

Moving into a Lot
Sims Family characters can move into an empty lot as long as it has enough resources. Sims can also move in to lots that have a family on it already and then the funds from that "move in" Sim will be co-mingled with the family's resources. Additionally a Sim or group of Sims can move out of a lot without moving out the entire family. Each moved out collection will receive 8,000 resources as long as the entire family does not move. When an entire family moves out of a lot, all furniture and lights that are not saved in the family "backpack" will be sold off and the proceeds of that sale becomes the overall family resources. The available lots are listed on the map above. The numbers will correspond with the lot information provided at the very bottom of this article.

All Lots provide some resources and food:
Resources = Activities on the lot that provide some funds; Branch, Bamboo Stalk, Stone, Bones, Pheno Plast Grass, Parts and Obsidian.
Food = Plants can provide some food and activities; Coffee Plant, Coconut, Banana or Papaya Trees.

Other Amenities
Ocean = Body, Bladder, Hygiene, Fun, Spear Fish
Built = Buildings exist but may require furniture and lighting
Furnished = Buildings that are partially furnished
Electric = Wind Generator
Pond = Fishing, fun, social, some allow swimming
Hot Spring = Hygiene, fun, social
Lava Pit = Nothing unless converted to pond
Marsh = Nothing unless converted to pond

Purchasing the Bare Bones Essentials: ß15 = Chest (Story Reward) PLUS ß40 = pile of leaves, fire pit & trash pit OR ß50 = Tent, fire pit & trash pit. (You can get by with this at an ocean lot. You will need bathroom facilities on an inland lot or travel some times to community lots. If you are strategic with bathroom and food needs, you can "refresh" while at work.)

Story Rewards:  You will need to have completed the Shipwrecked and Single game to have access to all the story rewards in Wanmami Neighborhoods. Depending on the renewable resources on the lot, you may need a hatchet ß5 to cut wood, a machete ß40 to cut bamboo or pheno plast grass, and/or a pick axe ß475 to gather rocks.

Convert Harsh Areas
The pit and marsh areas can be converted to water prior to moving in. While "overlooking" Wanmami Island, click on the families button (F1) without selecting a family. Find the lot and click on the Hot Property lot or the Stillwater Marsh lot. When the For Sale bubble pops open, then click on the "Enter Lot" button.

After you are in the lot (without a family) click on build mode (lower left corner the hatchet and pick axe button) select shovel (terrain) click on water drop (water), select blue water ß1 and then, with the pointer, click on the lava or marsh areas.

After you have changed the environment, click the button with 3 dots (option - ESC), click the disk icon to save the lot and then click the houses icon to return to the overview of the neighborhood.

Note - This same strategy can be used to level areas for houses or add ponds using the terrain tool prior to moving onto the lot. Performing this can end up changing the value of the lot, depending on the changes made.

Need quick resources? Raid the neighbors!  Move into a neighbor's lot while the family still lives on it, put all the household items into your character's inventory, from torches to toilets, then move out. Save the lot before returning to the neighborhood. This won't increase your worth until you return to your own lot and sell the items through the barter mode.

The guide for the map is below.

This table provides the basic information for each private lot. When there is a family already on the lot, the family will need to be moved out first before the lot can be purchased. The building dimensions of floor space is included in Lot Amenities.
