Island Living is a good “Expansion Pack”
I see very 50/50 opinions on Island Living. A lot of people who are unhappy feel there’s isn’t enough new gameplay avenues. For me, Island Living is perfect for what an Expansion Pack original...

I can't criticise those who bought it and for whatever reason are disappointed. With so many people including game changers rising up and saying: "Actually there isn't much in this pack" there is something wrong. The one part I was interested in - the off the grid aspect has been butchered and does not seem to function correctly.
When a game pack does culture, new skills, game play and adds more game play to your game (and rabbit holes arent game play) then I think that says a lot.
I'm not comparing it to the sims 1-3. I'm comparing it to itself. It feels like a good game pack. A change of aesthetic and sims with island wear on to me does not feel different enough and fleshed out enough to call itself an expansion. There is too much of what little new activities we got that is confined to one location. I am trying hard to see how this expansion has changed my sims core world and I just can not see it. It has changed my sims core world in the sense that restaurants are now broken, toddlers are broken, beds are broken, some lots seem plagued by stuck sims. Those aspects have changed my sims worlds but as for new game play? Not really. We have paid for beauty, cas items, ocean swimming and sun tanning.
Jungle adventure actually added more.
