Island Living - To buy or not to buy...
When the pack was released I liked the look of the world, but did not see enough content to desire. So, because my game is busy enough as is, I skipped it. I'm awaiting a pack with a new world because...

I was very excited for IL when it was announced and then a little disappointed that it didn't come with certain features I was hoping for, but honestly the more I play in Sulani the less I miss those features.
It's a beautiful world which feels very open and relaxed, and with the latest update adding rentals to all worlds, you could easily make this a destination world for your sims to relax in for a couple days.
I guess I would say go for it if you've got the extra money, I've personally got a lot of use out of it.
Pros:
Beautiful world
Great for family play as toddlers can splash in the water and build sandcastles and kids can collect seashells.
Only world where you can build a house over water
Some fun new lot traits
Lots of new fish to catch and a couple new collections (Island treasures and shells)
The build/buy is great and CAS has a lot of nice hot weather clothing
Cons:
The new sim traits are fairly specific and aren't very useful outside of Sulani
Only one sim at a time can use the jet-ski and boat
Rabbit hole scuba diving
Mermaids are kind of useless outside of this world (but that is changing as two other worlds have open water now and more might have it in the future)
Things you can use in other worlds:
A lot of the furniture does have a tropical theme but there are a handful of pieces that could be used anywhere (I use the curtains a lot and the loungers are much nicer than the base game ones)
Barbecue pit
Kava Bowl
Towels
Floaties
Swings (Also found in Seasons)
Firepit (Also found in Get Together)
Also you will be able to make sandcastles on any sand in any world with this EP
