Island Living Appreciation

So I see lots of people are disappointed with the new pack. I'm one of the (apparent) minority who love it as it is, so as I haven't seen a thread like this yet, I thought I'd start one.

I love the focus on conservation. This feels like a beautiful way to put a message across and I really like the idea of the island transforming the more you clean it up. The increase in wildlife is beautiful as the island gets more beautiful and the other day I had my first turtle hatching event!

I really think this is a lovely touch. So small but very effective. I've been a big fan of the random wildlife in the game right from the start (ducks, pigeons, seagulls etc) so to see all the extra marine life is something I really adore. The attention to detail like that really makes a difference for me. The addition of dolphins is something I'm delighted about. I've always loved since I was little so allowing my sims to interact with them is lovely.

The new conservation career is lovely. I've often wanted my sims to be able to do more for their community and the volunteering from an earlier pack (Parenthood, I think?) was a lovely start. This feels like a sensible continuation of that and I really love that.

I also like the close-knit feel on Sulani. The festivals and events in the town centre are a nice touch. Low key but traditional.

So what else are you guys enjoying about the pack? What are the things you love the most? <3

  • I like the pack a lot and have one of my main rotation families live there. I love the gameplay aspects of the pack and adore the pool float things for my sims to chill and sunbathe on. I know they are not a big addition to the pack overall but I normally end up loving the small parts of packs. Mermaids are cool to play without them being too intrusive either and I’m not a big occult player and they fit into my game quite nicely. This was always going to be a pack I liked as it was on my pack wish list and it has nearly everything in it I hoped for apart from the option to have rentals

    I love this pack but I'm wondering what happened to the rest of it.

    I'm loving Island Living so much that I find it hard to play in other worlds now. I don't need tons of new activities, I've been playing Sims 4 for years and I still haven't tried everything that the game offers.
    Right now I'm playing with Ngata/Illes household and it's been just as fun as playing with my own Sims. I love all the premade families in Sulani, I can't wait to play with all of them. It's been a fun week with IL.
    Only thing I would've wanted to be included on IL is Hawaiian dance, but I can live without it. :)


    The premades are lovely with this pack. I think the team did a great job with them <3
  • IL is one of my most treasured packs! I bought it in June and since June I have not played Sims 3.
  • I'm playing in Sulani again at the moment. I'm working with my Brothers Green guys again and I love the island atmosphere for them. They took part in a fire festival last night and I was plesantly surprised to see they weren't doing that bad! https://www.cheesebuerger.de/images/midi/froehlich/a050.gif
