I've been playing Island Paradise for a while now and have managed to get my sim's diving skill to level 9 and unlocked pearl deeps. After entering the area and attempting to enter the cave, I got kicked out of the ocean along with any other sims present in the dive spot. Everyone, mermaids included, would end up standing on the nearest shore. This then extended to EVERY underwater cave, including those that I had used dozens of times with no problems. And it happens every time I try a cave. What's more, now when I try to save, it declares there was an unexpected error and to consult the readme. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to fix this? Also, the Kraken lifetime reward is seemingly useless. No matter what boat I click on it will either have no kraken option (houseboat but that's normal from what I can tell) or the option will be greyed out saying that the kraken cannot attack this boat (for every single other boat, my guess is not normal).

I ran into this issue until my Sim reached level ten of scuba diving.

I'm still having this issue even though my Sim is at level 10 diving. At this point, it's not a big deal for me as I've already uncovered the island. I think it started after the game froze after trying to check into a resort with a self-employed sim.

This is happening to me as well. No answers yet?

If you or anybody else still have this problem, this might fix it:
- go to town edit
- first use testingcheatsenabled, then EnableLotLocking true
- click on the dive spot and click on the little lock in the bottom right to unlock it, then go into build/buy mode
- go underwater and find the cave, then click it (so you're holding it) and place it back again (I couldn't actually place it back again because there is stuff in the way, but ctrl + z put it back)
- go out of build/buy and lock the lot again
- go out of town edit and save
This is something I have to do again everytime I start playing, but at least it's a temporary fix. All credit to someone on the internet whose website I sadly can't recall.

You have to look for the tentacles waving around. Then you can explore successfully.
