Ports are the building blocks of a houseboat included in The Sims 3: Island Paradise. Isla Paradiso has plenty of pre-made ports around town, however, one can build their own ports from scratch in any town using the stilted foundations. Additionally, one can save any of the pre-made ports to the neighborhood bin via Edit Town Mode, and then place them on lots in other worlds.

Use and types

In order to move into a houseboat, it is required that one select a port first. They can move onto any of the pre-made ports with houseboats. Houseboats can also be built from scratch, so long as a barge or bow is selected for the port.

The following boat types and sizes are available for placement on ports:

Type	Size	Cost
Barge	Small - 10x8	Free
Barge	Medium - 15x10	§3000
Barge	Large - 20x15	§5000
Barge	Narrow - 20x6	§6000
Curved Bow	Narrow - 14x6	§8000
