Where's that Coconut Tree? - Island Living - Sims 4

If you have the Island Living Pack, and are attempting to do the Beach Life Aspirations of Location, the first level of the "Eat a Coconut" Aspiration is likely tripping you up if you can't find the elusive Coconut.

If you also have the Seasons pack, that might be adding to the problem since Coconuts only grow fruit in the Spring and Summer seasons, making them harder to find in the Fall and Winter.  Add to the fact that they don't grow very fast.  It is a little like trying to grab a cutting off the Cherry tree in the Landgraab's backyard in the Winter.

Mature Coconut Tree

One option is to purchase a bunch of Uncommon seed packs in Build Mode.  You might get lucky and find one pack with coconuts. In order to get that option, your Sims will need to have built a higher Gardening skill level.

Lani St. Taz Neighborhood Map on Sulani Island

On the Island of Sulani, there are at least two Coconut Tree locations that I found in the neighborhood in the top left of the map.  In the neighborhood with Lani St. Taz, my Sims finally located a coconut tree "mound" next to the Painter's Easel located on a small sand path in an area overlooking the water.  Not the easel next to the swing set. This particular easel is not very close to anything else. The other coconut tree is kind of in the center of the neighborhood close to one of the beaches. [Images below this post.

Note - Sims navigating the Island spend a lot of time walking.  It takes a huge amount of time to walk/jog on the many island paths.

Now I know that the coconuts are growing (or will be growing) in the other neighborhoods, but I focused on Lani St. Taz to visit every day to help speed up the growing process once I found the tree starts.  Then it took visiting the neighborhood at least six Sims hours per day for about five to six consecutive Sims days before my Sims could get a cutting off the mature Coconut Tree to graft to a tree in my Sim's home lot.

Iland Beach Shax Vending Maching

Or, in the alternative, go to the commercial neighborhood located on the bottom of the map, Ohan'ali Town, to track down an iLand Beach Shax.  These are not the "vendor" carts.  It looks more like a Vending Machine on the side of one of the many paths. Your Sims can purchase a single coconut that can either be eaten or planted for a lot less than purchasing the seed packs.

Coconut Tree Off the Path - Lani St. Taz on Sulani Island

Update - A coconut tree grows next to the public restroom of the Mua Pel'am neighborhood.  The other three plants also grow in the area around the house next to the volcano. So they are all, relatively, close together.  Hoping that helps.
