My game seems to have gained the most use out of Island Living - but it was also one of the last ones I bought because I thought I would get very little from it as reviews had been unkind to it for 'lacking gameplay and just being locations and stuff'. Locations and stuff happens to be what sells most to me... which I figured out over time.
I agree. Reviews claim it to be having "no gameplay" or "nothing to do" and yet Island Living has added plenty of things to do in my game and I use this pack more than any other pack. I hardly call ocean swimming, playing with dolphins, being a mermaid, suntanning, collecting sea shells, building sandcastles, completing odd jobs, and attending island festivals "nothing to do" and that's not all the features in this pack.
Reviews are especially unkind to mermaids by saying that "mermaids are lacking" because they don't have a skill tree like vampires (who came in their
own pack and
should have more than mermaids who are an
addition to another pack and
not the main theme) or for the
player not being able to follow the Sim when they go underwater and blatantly ignor the fact that mermaids have powers (which they didn't have in Sims 3).
