Did ts3 ep’s have more than ts4

no because in ts3 you indeed had ''lots of things''
but you hardly had any gameplay to them
(mermaids in ts3 were less useful than dried fish)

and most of it was really half baked
(you couldn't really do a thing with birds etc in ts3 either)
(not to even start on all those rabbit hole activities in ts3)

and buggy so I don't even want it

there is big possibility they might just patch something in later too

+ I prefer getting things like hotels their own gp so they can make them more interesting
(ts 3 hotels made me regret ever booking them) or adding them in other pack
because ugly hotels would have literally ruined that island for me

houseboats? hated those
underwater? would have been great but also I can see that not working too well with ts4 considering we do not have open world
surfing? this kind of triggers me though because there was surfing sign though
so it was in plans at sometime that island = surfing?

but yeah overall I feel ts4 has more depth than ts3
even if it lacks some activities the activities they do add are better done than ts3

I'm sorry but I don't see what scuba diving has to do with open world. We could have had underwater lots in TS4. Lots you'd only have access after buying scuba diving gear, or by being a mermaid, and then your sim would teleport there and explore. To me it's the one main big thing missing from this EP, I wish sims could also gather pearls underwater and sell them for simoleons.

The fact that we could actually go there and find treasure and collectable shells and gather rare tropical fish was awesome and it's really sad how in Island Living we can't see nothing of that.

Even for mermaids it was awesome. Tell me you wouldn't want this. It's so dumb how it's a rabbit whole in TS4, especially in a game where there are suppose to be fewer of them, since we have loading screens!
