I played way too much of Sims 3 this past weekend after playing 4 the week before that and honestly, I never realized how often I fought my sims in 4 to get them to do something. I'm pretty sure its the multitasking system they have, but in 3 when I told my sim to do something they did it immediately. When I canceled an action it actually canceled!
I think I might skip island living, but I do want to play with mermaids but I've heard complaints that even mermaids are lackluster. I think maybe had they booted mermaids to their own game pack as they did with Vamps and maybe spent time working on making lifeguard an active career as well as underwater lots for diving. But then again if they did separate mermaids from Island living we'd have another My First Pet Stuff fiasco, where its a DLC for a DLC, especially since this would be the only world with swimmable oceans. But we might have gotten a mermaid home lot like a 'hidden' dive lot and some really cool mermaid powers, which I've also heard complaints about.
