Island Living: Unpopular opinion
I feel that Island living is really underated. I comes with alot of good gameplay for all lifestates, toddlers can play in water, build sandcastles, etc the whole faimly feels involved with the gamep...
Forum Discussion
@xochiquetzl_xkvn Yes!! It is so nice, PLUS IT RUNS!! -which cannot be mentioned for the sims 3 island paradise-
@gooochyeee , I have to agree with you on how Island Living actually runs! 🙌 Sims 3 Island Paradise was beautiful and chock full of things to do, but it was just mocking us because it wouldn't let us do those things due to lag and game crashes. 😭 I do hope we eventually get a hotel system in the Sims 4 though!
@daikoyu , I have to agree with you on hoping they never have supernatural Sims in a EP. Mermaids look fantastic in Island Living, but their gameplay leaves a lot to be desired! 😓 The same goes for Aliens in Get to Work (Ghosts and PlantSims also are lackluster, but those were free, so I can't really complain ! 😅) However, I love the gameplay for Vampires, Spellcasters, and Werewolves!!! 🥳
@xochiquetzl_xkvn it is so weird that they don't have their own bassinet and tombstone! 😢 Great advice on using Sulani as a Rags to Riches file!
@gooochyeee thanks for the toddler tip for the 100 Baby challenge ! I don't know if I will ever do that challenge, but you bring up excellent points , and I love to watch toddlers splash in the water and play in the sand in Sulani! 🥰
@simsplayer818 , my only complaint (besides Mermaids getting short-changed) is that the Off the Grid lots became broken when i got the Bust the Dust Kit. 😭 I could no longer play in the shipwrecked pirate ship! 😠 However, this isn't really Island Living's fault, but more Bust the Dust's fault! That kit needs either a lot -by lot toggle, or at least a broom and dust pan combo so we can still "bust the dust" on Off the Grid lots!!!! 🤨
@PipMenace , I love the cultural additions to this pack! It gives the pack more depth and it just has a friendly vibe! 🥰
@GiardiniDiMarzo yes! This pack is gorgeous! The plants, the architecture, and the clothing all are fantastic! 😍 And we really needed the extra Swimwear and Hot Weather clothing items this pack brings! 🙌
- @PugLove888 I noticed Simple Living and Off the Grid when used together for some reason stopped my Sims being able to use the campfire to cook. You've just reminded me, I don't think I reported it so I'll check. I mean, there is nothing more appropriate for simple off the grid cooking than a campfire! I had to remove the lot traits as my shipwrecked Sim sat there waiting for their mahi mahi and getting quite upset.
I'd better test it first and then report it if it's still not working.@simsplayer818 , I never tried it with the Simple Living lot trait! 🤔😓 I hope it works because I think we all can agree with you that a simple campfire to cook things like fish and hot dogs is pretty much as simple as it gets!
That is really beautiful that this pack helped you get through Lockdown! 🥰@gooochyeee , it is a beautiful pack and has some unique gameplay! I do understand their wanting to market the Mermaids, but you are right in that they should have focused on the more developed aspects of the pack! Well, at least the Mermaids look fantastic! 😍
@simsplayer818I have a bug report open for that! https://answers.ea.com/t5/Bug-Reports/OPEN-CoL-Can-t-cook-on-campfire-when-simple-living-applied/m-p/10579177#M195362
- @xochiquetzl_xkvn Thanks, I couldn't see for looking for it lol. I've added my Me Too.
@PugLove888I love the pack. When ever someone hates on it I always back it up!! I agree markerting shouldnt have focued on mermaids
- @gooochyeee I find it the most relaxing world to play too. In lockdown it saved me from climbing the walls lol. It's just so chill to have a Sim scuba diving or snorkelling or taking a jet ski out. Even just the fishing aspect of it is better than other packs because of the scenery. I like the food stalls there too and I love the waterfalls.
One of my favourite and trickiest builds was a houseboat in Sulani and I've got it to rebuild since I'm starting a new game, I miss the boat we had in Sims 2.
