I DL'd and installed Island Paradise as soon as I got the email. I removed all mods prior to installing. I have run the game both with and without mods.
I have not had any crash issues so far, and the IP game loads faster than the UL game did.
I'm a bit disappointed. I was looking forward to all the bugs and crashes. I even bought collision insurance and bug spray. What a waste. Who buys a game and expects it to work?
