I think for me Island Living just seems like they ran out of time. I've played with the pack a lot, and there's so many hidden details in this pack that I've found and just thought "is that it?". Genuine interesting ideas there but absolutely no depth to them at all.
It's the same problem all round; the pack adds mermaids, cave exploration, the islands culture and lore, diving, island events, island elementals, island spirits, working to clean up the island and change the environment, etc. All interesting ideas, but it feels like they didn't have the time to fully execute any of these things so all of them are half baked. The Island Elementals especially, there's a clear idea there but in game they're just some random ghosts that appear and they were never made into anything more.
If all of this stuff was fleshed out it'd be a pretty solid pack in my opinion. It seems like there was supposed to be much more island culture and lore than there actually is, so I'm guessing it has to be down to time constraints. Unpopular opinion but I hope if they refresh it they'll focus on improving mermaids and expanding on what they started with the island culture and fully flesh that out, rather than adding entirely new things like gimmicky underwater diving spots which would just be a copy paste of Sims 3...
