The major features are foraging (searching the ground for food, which you can do with Island Living - they even reused the animation for it), bathing in water (Island Living again), and sleeping on the ground. (Involuntary in the basegame. Otherwise a new thing, but it's kind of weird to make a big deal about a feature that's worse than anything we already have.) It's good for Rags to Riches and Castaway challenges, but even then they're not really game-changers. Would have preferred hammocks making a comeback.
I don't see why they couldn't lead with Luck in this trailer - something very new. I'm sure it's mostly just passive fluff, but it's more interesting and original, imo.
But then again, more Simology panel bloat. Bleh. I'm glad we have a mod to help with this, but to wit, the pane already has fears, three different like and dislike systems, relationship boundaries, fame, reputation, lifestyles, and character values.
Ailments might get annoying later, but I like them. I always wanted my sims to experience more illnesses. It'd be disappointing if Elixirs are the only way of curing them, instead of actual medicine like in real life. But other than that, there's some story potential here. I just hope they aren't all passive buffs and debuffs, and you experience things like dizzy spells, fainting, or vomiting.
The BB is cute. Not my thing, but it's very fun.
The architecture is adorable. I love the houses here.
I like the lead girl's hair. Not a fan of baby hairs and realistic hair textures, since they usually clash with the clay style of the game. But they did it well here.
I like the fairy outfits. We're not just getting some Barbie Fairytopia knock-off; we have some more regal and natural clothing. The wings have a good variety. Since the lead got small wings when she became a fairy, I hope there's a level-up system where your wings grow as you become stronger.
The crashed boat looks like a great landmark. Would be great to, you know, actually explore it or something. Hope that's a feature. But looking at it from afar is nice too.
I like being able to be a plant parent and care for houseplants.
Pretty disappointed, tbh. It feels like a bunch of leftovers from Island Living, Eco Lifestyle and Cottage Living. Like I know those all have different themes, but most of these features could have been in any of those packs and we wouldn't blink twice.
