Is Island Living even worth $30 (25% sale)
I see that there's a sale going on. Is Island Living even worth $30 or should I wait for a cheaper sale down the line?

I've been waiting for University far more than a beach world (though I did want that too), and I wound up liking Island Living even more than I thought I would. Yes, it is a bit bare in terms of game play. I'm hoping that in the future they remedy this. However, the world of Sulani is gorgeous and I find it to be quite relaxing to play in. Not a thing I'd have ever imagined I'd want or enjoy in a Sims game, but here we are. I enjoy the mermaids, however I agree with what others have said about thinking there could've been more done (especially with how well Vampires were done in this iteration). Who knows, all in due time maybe? Is it necessarily worth the money? I'd say yes, but to each their own. I paid full price and I don't regret it.
Maxis seems to have been struggling for a bit lately, but I get the sense that's changing. Moschino is a surprising SP and I think it shows a change in direction for the team, and I'm liking it. Yes, IL is lacking in terms of game play, but my sims are loving the beach, getting tans, and swimming in the ocean. I'm just glad swimming is a thing my sims can enjoy doing. I don't regret all those pools I built in their backyards anymore. I haven't played Off the Grid since launch when it was broken, but I imagine now that it's working properly it will be loads of fun, which seems to be the focus of IL more than anything (and for the record, I was enjoying Off the Grid even when it was broken). Which is good because we wanted that with Laundry Day and didn't get that then. See, all in due time.
If money is an issue right now, I'd say wait. But definitely don't count the pack out all together. It helps round out the game play in a surprising way. Sulani is the perfect location for a spa/resort lot that your sims can enjoy. So I recommend it if you've enjoyed any of that game play as well.
