Island Living Disappointment So Far

I know - I love everything - I cannot figure out those complaining.

Mermaids don't kill Sims but they can keep them in the sea, far from home and the Sims might die if they can't get home to fulfill their needs in time.

I'm still waiting for someone to find what is the shark's bigger "friend" that @SimGuruGeoff talked about, anybody know yet?

I don't often find many things I like for clothing in alot of the packs, no matter which type pack it was. I love Vampire one and such because I like older styles that can also be different and not always older. This exp pack, however, I have found many outfits that I love. I had so many different ideas I would need more slots open to allow more outfits, gonna have create a beachy type clothing retail so I can do them all.

That’s great for you, however others are not as satisfied. Nothing really to figure out, it’s just a difference of opinion.

Based on what I’ve seen and read, I think I’ll wait for this pack to be half off or more. While the buy/build items look nice, mermaids and ocean swimming isn’t really worth $40 for me personally. My biggest gripe is the fact that diving and the lifeguard career are rabbitholes.

With all due respect, you said you don’t even have the expansion. People “complaining” do and have experienced it.

@Pamtastic72 My sim has explored the cave at least twenty times. All that happened was I got fish and moodlets. It’s a very disappointing rabbit hole.

Yep - some people did not like that - it seemed to work though and in Sims 3 having diving and setting up did not always go well. So this could be a better work around in the long run. Who knows the changes they can add as it goes along too. I am sorry you are not happy - and for me waiting is not a good idea - time is my enemy. For me it is day by day.

Is it a kraken? Is there any secret game changers haven't told? ETA: or maybe a whale?

There is no kraken, confirmed by the devs. They said you may notice a dark shadow in the water but there’s no creature. I sent one sim into the cave (rabbit hole) trying to find the danger within allegedly, I had another sim out in the ocean and I wondered if anything would happen.

Well nothing did. My sim drowned because she ran out of energy. But thats definitely all it was, the camera was on her the whole time.

I understand you @Writin_Reg I hope not though. Time is my enemy too as I'm getting too old so the longer Sims 4 goes on the better.

Complaining all the time never helped me, in fact the reverse, and I am selfishly enjoying the game for what it is. Maybe some of those who don't like it have helpful suggestions they can put in the ideas section or to Gurus on Twitter?

What i find really weird is that the box art is the same as game packs instead of the expansion pack one

Right? I don't get that.
This is the right version, I don't understand why Origin doesn't have that. It's bothering me ahaha

Yep - in my case I wish it was just an age thing - oh well. Must keep on Keeping on as as my grandmother used to say. (Or try to. Find joy where it comes). LOL. And I can't help it - I am having fun. I wish I didn't feel like I have to keep apologizing for laughing and having fun finally though. I guess that all depends on us.
