Woohoo Island | Love Island Inspired Gameplay Mod *overview*
151 INTERACTIONS - 118 BUFFS - 30 SENTIMENTS - SOCIAL EVENTS - HOLIDAY TRADITIONS - MILESTONES - AND MORE
Woohoo Island is highly detailed and passion-driven gameplay mod I have made with great dedication, love, and care to help you guys bring the villa into your games. As a watcher of the reality dating show Love Island, I have made this mod and modeled my ideas directly off of how the show is set up and organized. As the seasons of Love Island are ~35+ hours long and filled with many different monumental benchmark moments that make up a season, you can only imagine the time and effort went into putting this together!
As previously mentioned, this is a detailed mod with many, many different features. While I will be including information about the different features of the mod and how to use it, I HEAVILY RECCOMEND you watch the mod showcase video as I will be covering everything in this post and more as you will get to see it in game.
SET UP YOUR VILLAS
Enable the lot Woohoo Island Lot Challenge
Place your Woohoo Island Settings Controller
Use the Settings Controller to turn your sims into Islanders by assigning everyone their respective traits under the Islander Types Pie Menu
⚠️ If you do not see the Islander type traits appearing in your sims trait panel when you perform these interactions that means you most likely do not have Show Wants & Fears enabled in your game. In the same space where you toggle on and off autonomy you will see a box to check in order to enable this feature. After doing so the traits will now appear in game.
CHALLENGES
This mod comes with its own system for your sims to experience challenges via rabbitholes. Just like the show these challenges will have the ability to impact Islanders' romantic and friendly relationships in the villa as well as overall mood. By clicking on the Woohoo Island Settings Controller locate the Challenges pie menu. Here, you will see two interactions: Go to Challenge and About Challenges.
When your sims return from the rabbit hole, they will either get a buff, or you will be able to decide who they interacted with while away. If you are in charge, you will be able to select any Islander in the household to interact with during a challenge and get one of four possible outcomes: positive friendship, positive romance, and the respective negative friendship and romance.
⚠️ Challenges Optional
BOMBSHELLS & CASA AMOR ISLANDERS
Bombshells and Casa Amor Islanders can be added to the villa and assigned their respective traits the same way as the typical Islanders, using the Woohoo Island Controller. After assigning them their traits new interactions and autonomous game features will become available to them. This includes custom popup interactions these sims can perform autonomously with the Islanders.
Bombshells and Casa Amor Islanders have an impact on the other Islander just through their presence. As you'll notice your Islanders getting different buffs when nearby and in the case of Casa Amor Islanders, maybe a little tension standing to impact their friendships as well.
PUBLIC VOTING
Via the new Woohoo Island App on the Islander's phone, you will see a new interaction to Read the Public's Vote. After performing this interaction sims will get a text on their phone letting them know of the results. Islanders can be made either safe or vulnerable and will receive buffs lasting 24 hours depending on their results.
RECOUPLING
Recoupling Ceremonies are created via the calendar as a holiday tradition at least a day before. When creating the holiday, you will find a custom holiday tradition to mark the day. After the holiday is created, you will find your sims get a custom buff before and during the holiday. At any time on the holiday, your sims will be able to form new coupling types with one another.
When your sims create new couples during the ceremony they will get custom milestones showing who they coupled with. Through this system you will be able to track the different couples each Islander made throughout their journey.
COUPLE TYPES
When recoupling your sims can enter 1 of 4 different coupling types: Reluctant, Romantic, Platonic, and Exploring. Each of these come with their very own gameplay features including interactions, sentiments, and new autonomous behaviors they can have with one another.
SET UP CASA AMOR
BEFORE your Islanders head different ways to start Casa Amor they need to say goodbyes. On the Woohoo Island App your sims will find an interaction to Start Casa Amor. After performing these interactions your sims will get a text to let them know all couples will have access to a new interaction. After EACH COUPLE says their goodbyes, they can then separate from one another, and head officially begin Casa Amor!
LEAVE CASA AMOR
On the last day of Casa Amor before you Islander reunites, both villas must throw a Final Casa Amor Ceremony. During the ceremony Islanders will be able to recouple with whoever they please regardless of previous couples they may have formed while there. During the even Islanders will find new interactions available in their couples: Create Casa Couple, Stay Loyal, or Let Fate Decide!
Every Islander will need to make their decision on whether they will bring back the connection they made in Casa or to leave them behind. After making their decision Islanders will get the respective buffs to reflect their decision. The buff will last two days. Islanders will need to return to the villa and reunite with one another before the buff expires.
RETURN FROM CASA AMOR
When the Islanders reunite from Casa Amor, for the best results, set up your sims as they are when they reunite in the show. Each Islander seeing if their former connection brought back someone from Casa Amor one at a time. Upon seeing each other the Islanders will instantly know and react to each other's decisions to bring someone back from Casa Amor or to stay loyal. Just like in the show, depending on their former relationship types before leaving the villa, sims reactions will stand to have large impacts on their relationships and their sentiments.
FINALE & CHOOSING WINNERS
When you are ready to have your final day on the Island schedule a new holiday on your calendar and add the Woohoo Island Finale holiday tradition. Sims will get a new buff sharing their feeling about the experience coming to an end the day before and the day of the finale.
On the last day there will be a new pie menu on the Woohoo Island Settings Controller, called Woohoo Island Finale. There you will find an interaction to choose your Woohoo Island Winners. When you select your winning couple commemorate their win with a kiss as you will see a cute special effect surround the two. The winning couple will both receive custom milestones to commemorate the moment!
However, the journey is not over as you will find both the winning Islanders got a text on their phone letting them know they still need to decide what to do with the money. On the Woohoo Island Setting Controller the winning couple will now find an interaction to Give Decision Power. When the sim of your choosing performs this interaction, they will get half of the prize money in their inventory along with a new tense buff for having the decision power. The other half of their couple will also get a new scared buff at not having the power. When both sims have their respective buffs, the sim with the power will find new interactions on their partner: Share the money, take the money, or let fate decide! What happens from this point and who gets the other half of the money is up to you...
AUTONOMOUS FEATURES
Since playing love island in the sims heavily relies on the autonomy of the sims, I have added several features that stand to impact the way the sims interact with and look at each other. These features are out of your hands and at the will of the sims. Look forward to new experiences and waiting to see what your Islanders do!
Thanks
First, I would like to give my thanks to Neu aka Neuworld, who is a streamer and youtuber very dedicated to his craft and production quality so if that interested you, I would most definitely recommend you check him out. He was open to playtesting this mod for me and was the very first person other than myself to play it. Being able to watch him stream and playtest the mod was such an invaluable experience and really helped with the development of the mod into what it is now!
Next, I would like to give a big shoutout to those who supported the creation of and joined the play tester tier I created specifically for this mod. Your support did not go unnoticed, unappreciated, or unvalued.

Hey, for some reason when i go to activate casa amor, a window pops up that i can't close out. i have a picture of it. then i have to force close the game.
You need to make sure your sim's phone is not silenced/you don't have any mods prohibiting phone calls as it will interfere with the mod.
Hey! firstly, I LOVE THIS MOD. Thank you! I just wanted to report that when I try to go off to Casa Amor, the pop up happens and then the game freezes. could you help me figure out what may have caused this bug?

Everytime I get to the casa amor screen and I click start theres a pop up telling me the rules and it doesn't go away

maybe I'm a bit slow or missed it but does this mod come with the villa as well or do we have to build it?
i cant see the lot trait
It's a lot challenge
Hii, idk why I had everything set up correctly and today my game started crashing because of this mod as soon as I entered the villa. If I take just this mod out of the folder it doesn't crash again. Haven't added any other mods. Tried with the newest version and got the same crash. Are there any known incompatibilities or changes???
How do i download the mod? I have the XML injector already. I have tried to download it like 3 times all different. Any tips or help?🫶🏻
It was also very difficult for me to find the download link. I think I clicked on the several "download mod" options many times!
so everytime i click to go to the download page it redirects me to my subscription page can anyone help?
hi this is a great mod, just wanted to ask which gshade did you use for this video your sims look amazing
Hello!!! I am enjoying playing with your mod; thank you so much for sharing it! I've read your post thoroughly and watched your video, but I still have a few questions, please. I have 1 residential lot for the Villa-got the lot challenge right; but I think I need a separate one for Casa Amor, correct? This second lot also needs to get the lot challenge applied, right? Then, I am thinking that I need to set up some Casa Amor sims on that second lot, to interact with the Islanders, right? Those will get the Casa Amor sim trait using the controller. So far, I think these are my questions. As I said, I am VERY much enjoying playing with your mod in my game; exploring how it works is very interesting and it gives my playing features that I have wanted for the longest time.
Hello again! Just checking if you would consider allowing the mod to work for ADULT sims. My young adult sim aged up during the time in the villa and the options for the challenges were not available for her any longer. Also, there was a cycle, a loop? when I chose the winning couple; they had also turned into adults while in the villa. The rest of the islanders got stuck on the "celebrate performance" action. Thank you.
Helloooo, After this most recent update playing in my Island is making my game crash. Is the mod still compatible?
Yes, this mod is still compatible and has not broken with any of the latest updates. I still recommend checking you have the latest version.
such an amazing mod! i have always want to play love island on the sims 4 and finally get to do it properly! just a question: how do you make them coupled up in the beginning? is it to set them up as partners or use the recoupling ceremony?
Yes, even for the first one you would still run the recoupling ceremony
Hi! Thank you for this mod :) I have wants and fears enabled but I still don’t get the option to assign islander traits. Is there something else I could be missing
Make sure you have the lot challenge set to woohoo island
My casa amor isn’t working I’m just stuck on this white screen telling me it’s time to prepare..how do I fix it?
Sorry I am not really sure what this means. Can you explain what steps you're taking and what's happening
Hi! I translated your mod into French. Thank you for your amazing work! Here's the link: https://www.patreon.com/_Eris_/posts/165084128
Here is my Spanish translation https://www.patreon.com/JASimmer1/posts/165730448?utm_campaign=postshare_creator
i'm so severely broke rn and counted down the days until public access. thank u SO much and i promise to come back and join as a member when i'm back on my feet!!
I'm having so much trouble with the lot trait not showing up. I've watched the video repeatedly 5 times. Ughhh... show wants and fears is enabled. SEND HELP lol :) cool mod thank you for this
Disregard I figured it out. I didn't realize you were clicking the lot challenge button.
Hi! For some reason I dont have recoupling as a holiday ( only the final day at casa amor ). I'm not sure if thats it or I need to do something lol. I do have the XML injector downloaded
It's in there, it just doesnt start with Woohoo Island. It's called Recoupling Ceremony so you need to look for it in the R section
Hi! i’ve been really excited to play this mod and I really appreciate all of your hard work on it! However, I’m struggling with setting up recoupling events. The mod says it’s base game compatible but I believe recoupling ceremonies are holidays which are Seasons exclusive. Unfortunately I don’t have Seasons, is there a way around this since the mod is stated as not needing any DLC? If not, would you maybe consider making recouplings an event (like the final Casa amor recoupling) in future updates?
Wow! I knew base game had the calendar so I just assumed they had the holiday traditions as well. For now, you can use the cheats menu on the controller to force enable recoupling for a period of time. I'll work on an additional cheat for enabling you to toggle the finale as well. Thank you for letting me know!
Can u post the mod today?
Hello! The mod looks awesome, I subscribed to get it, but the lot challenge traits do not show up at all for me. I've even made sure the mod and XML injector are the ONLY mods in my mod folder and they still do not show up, so it's not a mod conflict. Wants and fears are also turned on. I can find the controllers just fine, but even then only "squash casa amor beef" is the only option, assuming that's because I haven't assigned the lot trait, buuuuut I can't because it doesn't show up haha. It seems other people are having the same issue, is there a known fix?
Ah well after some troubleshooting I realized I was just looking at the lot traits menu and not the challenges one lol (for everyone else missing it, click on the trophy). Hopefully other people can learn from my silly mistake lol
Hello. I need help please as I’m really excited to play this. I can’t seem to find the controller in my build menu? Anyone else has this issue and how to solve please?
the controller is the beach ball or suitcase, are u still havng trouble?
Can you do a more detailed run through for beginners. Do I place the villa and a casa amor lot? How are you switching over from each? Do I create bombshells in casa or does your mod send them in?
Is that my Carniya?🥹🥹
(Use the Configuration Controller to turn your Sims into islanders by assigning each of them their respective traits from the "Islander Types" pie menu)—please, and what does this mean, and where can I find it or how do I do it?
Hi, I have the mod, but I don't know how to add the Islander traits. I've even set up the lot challenge, but the traits option isn't showing up. Do I need to Shift-click on the Sim, or how do I add the Islander traits? Please, I'd really like to know.
Are both villas included or do we have to download them from someone?
none of the traits are showing and ive done all the steps correctly what could be the issue?
Same. I gave up and just took the mod out even though I wanted it so bad.
Are you able to do movie night in a future update? That would be a fun addition
just an idea.... could you possibly add something to do with doing confessionals?
Hallo Chérisi, Your Love Island mod is absolutely amazing! ❤️ What you've created is honestly incredible and such an impressive piece of work. I had an idea that I thought could make the gameplay even more fun. What if, whenever you select a challenge, a small menu popped up where you could choose from three different challenge options? For example, it could offer things like a cooking class or cooking together, a dance class or just dancing together, rock climbing, a helicopter ride, or similar activities. I think it would add even more variety and unpredictability. A Sim who's afraid of heights probably wouldn't enjoy the helicopter ride, while someone who hates cooking wouldn't be thrilled about a cooking class. It would also create an extra challenge for the couple and make their compatibility matter even more. What do you think about that idea? 😊
Hi! I have the xml injector and the lot trait doenst appear. Also when i click on the island setting controller, it only appears "CHEATS > Squash Casa Amor Beef..."
hey did u ever figure this out bc i need help w this aswell?
this is compatible with the last update right?
hello :) I noticed in your showcase video you searched up the Settings Controller, however, the search feature in build buy is broken in my game for whatever reason! I was wondering if you could help me by directing me as to which section it could be found under? (i.e. misc decorations, activities & skills, etc.) thanks!!
oh wait nvm i saw in the video it said misc decorations!
Can you make this mod public earlier please I can’t wait like I will literally cry like post it public on the 21st of July
Please make this available for free download again. I only discovered it after it had become a paid download, and I can't afford that; I can only download free items, and I was really interested in this mod.
Since its release this mod was always only available to tier 3 members or by paid post. The date when the mod will go public is included in this post.
Hallo Cherisi,I have translated the package into German. However, everything in the "Icelandic" menu under "Friendly" is still in English. How do I translate this selection menu into German?
adore this!!! would you ever consider adding functionality between interactions and the games reputation system in the future? it would be super cool if that had an impact on whether or not a sim is safe or vulnerable in america’s vote.
I have the lot challenge set to Woohoo Island, all people set to Islanders, but when I click to interact with people, I don't get any Woohoo Island conversation options. I can set the recoupling holiday up but can't do much else...not sure what I am doing wrong.
This mod requires XML Injector
hi love! i just downloaded this but in my lot traits, woohoo island doesn't appear. do i have to move in simmies first or have a certain lot type?
This mod requires XML Injector
This is amazing! You've done such a fantastic job with this rollout. The anticipation is crazy, I've watched all your videos about the mod and have seen it through Neuworld. You're so talented! I love all your work, mods and deco sims. This is my first ever purchase for anything Sims 4 mod related, and I already know it is worth it. Thank you so much for all the hard work! Looking forward to having this in-game finally!
Wow that's such an honor! Ty!!
ur genuinely so so talented wth!!!
Ty 💜
Download button??
This mod was released July 13 9PM EST
I’m literally going to watch the show for the first time - simply because of your amazing hard work on this mod ! Thank you for what you do
Wow! I hope you’re mentally prepared 😂😭. Stay strong and whatever you do DONT go looking for others thoughts. The fandom will only bring you pain 🫡
i’m so happy that this mod has been worked on! but for casa amor, what do you recommend us to do as far as playing between two different households, for like the men and the female islanders.
cause realistically casa amor is 3 days, so how would that be managed between the two households going back and forth.
