I wish Island Living was both residential World and Vacation

We don't know everything. And we also don't know how big the island is.

They said it's not a vacation place.

Well, I'm always concerned about the size of new worlds

If it was a vacation world then I don't think it'd be appealing for very long. I think a lot of the new features that this EP is going to introduce would be very difficult to include if it was only a vacation spot. You could always download a hotel from the gallery if you want to pretend your sim is on vacation.

You can probably build a vacation home or hostel etc on a community lot, then lock doors to others than your visiting sim. Should be possible to stay for a few days the least. The game might send some family members back home though, so it might work better for single sims, that are easier to control.

I'm so happy we are getting this EXP but I was gutted when they said you can only live there.

It would have been cool if you could also go on vacation there and owning another house (holiday home) or staying in a Airbnb or something like that.

I just hope you can get a tan/sunburn in other worlds.

I placed a group of Sims in Strangerville, using the freerealestate cheat. Once they completed the 'mission', I brought them back to their starting point. I see no reason why one couldn't do something similar with the island. It's very easy to move your Sims back and forth. I plan on having my new Global Superstar take his bride to the island for a honeymoon. Of course, he's just a teen, still. By the time the EP is released, I expect to have him aged up to YA, and his current high school sweetheart, too. They have exchanged promise rings, after all. If she doesn't kill him, first, when he reacts to his flirty fans, that is. LOL

I was hoping too, that if you want you can live or just visit for a couple days in hotel. Yea, they could add hotels in this EP otherwise it is just game pack looks like :( So, it is just new world, and new water activities, nothing more.

There is quite the trend these days to rent another person's apartment or house for a vacation, over a hotel room. I would just use the freerealestate on cheat, select the desired house and have your Sims stay for as long as you want.

omg i never thought of doing the retail lot thing! that seems like a perfect idea..
and with work i can just use the calendar and make holidays up for 7 days and put day off for each of them.

I wish all worlds were like this! I hope someday we find that it was codeable after all, but the fact that we didn't get "rental" as a lot tag option by now makes me think it's never going to happen :(
