Just Found out, Scuba Diving is a rabbit hole!!!

Eh, guess that's a little disappointing. I never really used that feature in TS3, so I'm not too bothered. But I can see how that would get to others. :(

So my sim will just stand on the lot and be invisible (that's what a rabbit hole is) when they will go Scuba diving? That is disappointing.

Disappointing, but still hasn't deterred me from buying.

Sims 4 when will you stop jumping the shark?

Snorkelling doesn't look like a rabbit hole, though, and there are reefs to snorkel at. I'm assuming that'll work with first-person mode too :) I can live with a deep-see diving rabbithole if I can first-person snorkel at a reef.

So I went to the source and found this:

"So, there is no active diving except snorkeling. I didn’t see how it works."

Based on that, I think there will be diving in form of snorkeling , but if you want to scuba diving, complete with the gear, you can only do that through buoy, which is a rabbit hole.

Meh...not too disappointed. In the past, even with my gaming setup, it was difficult for my sims to go snorkeling without the game crashing.

That's sad and disappointing. Even if this is something that can be considered repetitive and boring after a while, it would still be gameplay. Example: I don't think people who own Outdoor Retreat go camping often but they might every now and then. I don't think people who own Jungle Adventure explore often but they might every now and then. It's still something fun to do whenever you want.

With TS3 IP pack, you can build your own dive lots. It was a little complicated as it had to be fit for whatever spot you built it on w/ deep enough water and could easily glitch your sim out of the water if not placed just right. I still enjoy having my sims scuba dive in that game. I didn't expect that level of detail in this pack... but maybe one spot for it in the new world. Oh well :/

It's nice our sims can still snorkel and as mentioned, first-person view will be cool to use with this.

I don’t really hate that because as much as I love Island Paradise, it would lag horribly whenever I dived or used the house boat, which was all the time.

That’s disappointing. From what I see so far I feel like Island Living adds little more than a game pack and not enough to be an expansion pack.

This is so unsurprising that it’s impossible to be disappointed.
