Is Island Paradise worth getting 2020?

Yes it's worth it. only problem with it is the world its self, which is fixed using ellacharmed's fixes

I always use custom worlds anyway.

You can build Dive Lots on any world, although water depth/quality comes into play.

You can also tie the Dive Lot theme into the quality of water available ...
Like an underwater junkyard to explore in Bridgeport. :D

Like all default worlds it has routing issues, it's particularly bad in Isla
But other than that, no there's no problems with anything else :)
I've not had any anyway

Thanks! I'll be on the lookout for a sale then

I agree with the others. I don't play the world that came with IP, but there are many nice custom worlds with diving spots and lots of water to use the boats on. It's a fun EP! :)

Hi @Rebbilina

IP is one of my most favorite worlds because I love to send my sims houseboat around the whole map and then stop for a while at various dive stops along the way. There at routing issues as other players have pointed out however thankfully I never experienced that many like other players did. If you are willing to spend a little time sorting out the routing issues the world is very playable. I followed most of @Ciane's advice on the following link (not all) and my IP world is still playable and very enjoyable :) I think ciane also has a save version of the map with the issues already addressed including lot changes that have caused problems so that might be a good option for you.

Dawn over the island (I am testing a sky mod here but that is not required for the island to look beautiful-)

I also enjoy custom worlds and with IP installed there are several to choose from however I still love Rflong7's Legacy Island

This is a dusk shot of Legacy Island no sky mod in this one..

I think so. I admit that it has been a while since I played, but at the end of 3's lifespan before I played 4 regularly I played using it a fair bit. Houseboats and underwater were fun. I played vanilla, though, and I don't have the room to reinstall today, but if you are playing 3 actively I don't see it being a bad investment.

I think the world is beautiful and I love all the fun water activities. The main problem with the world is having all the sims you aren't playing trying to move their houseboats around, I think. Just evict the sims and put into the homes on land to solve most of your problems. As @SPARKY1922 mentioned, I read up on all the problem areas and addressed them in a thread that she linked to earlier. (It's also in my siggie.) I also uploaded a couple "save" files of the IP world with changes I made at the start of a fresh game. One has all EPs, SPs, and store content. The other is base game and IP only. So, you can make changes to the world yourself and save that file so you won't have to make changes again, or you download one or both of mine and put them in your saves folder to play the world. OR as mentioned, just don't play in IP and still enjoy all the benefits of the EP in other worlds.

In addition to everything that has already been mentioned, resorts can be built in any world. I enjoy this very much - choosing a style for the resort and building it and improving on it gradually.

It's a beautiful world. I spend a couple minutes moving families inhabiting houseboats to houses before I start and never have any problems.
