Honestly, after watching footage from so many simmers on YouTube, I must agree that it looks more like a gamepack. I was excited for a tropical island based pack, though I wanted a vacation pack over an island living pack. However, I was willing to see what they'd do with it and imo Island Living's execution is really weird. It's meant to be living on an island over vacationing, but most of the island life aspects are rabbitholes or re-used animations. But then there are a few vacation like elements like the aqua-zips, boats, and sand castle building which are actually pretty cute, but also far too limited. Just a theory, but I get the feeling that the devs knew people wanted an island vacation pack, but didn't want to do a complete copy of IP, so they smashed ideas of island vaycay and island living into one pack.
Just like with GF, I'll be waiting on a sale for this one (or try to get lucky with a giveaway). There's some cute stuff in here, but it looks more like a gamepack to me, so that's the only price I'll be paying on it.
