If you have ever played sims3 Island Paradise before, Island Living cannot call it as expansion pack!
Island Paradise for many (including me) was a buggy, laggy, almost unplayable pack, even with mods. The world was not even as nice as Sunlit Tides. Sulani, in contrast, is gorgeous, immersive and fun to explore, with an ocean that sims can actually interact with, changing sea life, a new culture with related traits and an aspiration, a place where Sims can live a very different lifestyle than they can anywhere else.
Unless I’m mistaken sims can basically do the same things with the ocean in this Ex Pack that they could in Sims 3, unless there’s something I’m missing? They can swim, snorkel, use watercraft, float, .... am I missing something? You could do these things in any Sims 3 world though, not just the EP world.
I didn’t think this EP changed the game very much at all, but that’s just my experience with it. I found my Sims living the same life here that they would in any other world, it’s not that different you can swim in the ocean and that’s about it.
It’s a £34 to enable ocean swimming and tanning. That’s about it for me.
I’m terms of game play Island Paradise wipes the floor with Island living. Performance can be argued. Although I’m lucky my island paradise runs fine. Ironically better than Island living at the minute!
TBH I fired up my Island Paradise a day ago and I could play it, surprisingly, although I do have Nraas. I would get the freezing lag in the beginning still, but 10 minutes after it stopped. Whenever there was any though, coincidentally, I always got a notification about the same sim being unroutable.
