Feedback on Island Living
I want to start this with saying that I haven't purchased the pack yet, so my perspective is only from seeing trailers and watching LPs and reviews on YouTube. With that said, I am getting the impress...

This is definitely not an expansion pack worth $40. It's a game pack at best.
This is more like Island Eye Candy than Island Living, IMHO. You're paying for island atmosphere and island animations. And, really, it's animations with zero depth. It just feels like there is no meaningful gameplay behind the pack, but I think it's just an extension of the base game problems, where the game doesn't present much challenge or meaningful goals that feel fun to embark upon and rewarding to achieve. The island health stuff was a step in the direction I'd like, but it's limited to one island of the 3 that make up this very tiny world.
It's also super inconsistent and weird they made this a normal world, rather than a vacation world. In fact, it could've been the perfect pack to introduce real vacation homes, like The Sims 2.
It's gorgeous, and the art team really carries the rest of the development team with this pack. It just needs some actual gameplay, hell, the entirety of The Sims 4 does.
I agree, this could have been treated as an dual Neighborhood, one as an home neighborhood two as an vacation world with actual hotels and resorts that the customer could freely choose for to do it you now have to do an work around which sometimes is not the best way. Would I pay $40 for this pack, I would say no maybe $29.99 or lesser would be an good point for me and even saying $29.99 is stretching it. It is not an ugly world it is pretty but as with all the packs I play they do not have enough to keep me drawn to it.
