Escape the ordinary and enjoy a laid-back lifestyle surrounded by beaches in The Sims 4 Island Living. Explore a breezy world drenched in sun, sand, and endless fun as your Sims make their own paradise.

The same site correctly listed Seasons' release date before it was announced so it's very trustworthy.

This is the second site today to list the 21st.

True that

So, are we getting a trailer after EA Play? That seems weird to me..

They're so careful with the description, nothing says about ocean swimming or water sports and games.

It's just like the ones for every pack. The basic one. The main features are in the bullet points after. Here's some examples:
GF: "Reach for the stars and rise to celebrity status with The Sims™ 4 Get Famous. Build your stardom as you pursue an acting career, become an A-lister, and guide your Sims down the unpredictable path to fame. ",

Seasons: "Add weather to your Sims’ lives to tell new stories, enjoy seasonal activities and celebrate heartfelt holidays with The Sims™ 4 Seasons.",

Cats & Dogs: "Create a variety of cats and dogs, add them to your Sims’ homes to forever change their lives and care for neighbourhood pets as a veterinarian with The Sims™ 4 Cats & Dogs.",

City Living: "Do your Sims long to leave the suburbs behind? Fulfill their dreams in the diverse city of San Myshuno, where they can discover exciting neighborhoods, move into a new apartment, check out fun festivals and more. ",

Get Together: "Create Clubs for your Sims where you set the rules, define their looks, and customize their hangouts in The Sims™ 4 Get Together. ",

Get to Work: "You rule the workplace with The Sims 4 Get to Work. Actively control your Sims while they’re on the job, and determine whether they're headed toward a big promotion or are becoming the workplace menace. ",

They're all generally vague, with some having more detail than others. This could be real, and if it is real, it's still a little vague, similar to the Get Together one.

Actually those descriptions are more of spot on. I wonder what they mean by "as your Sims make their own paradise." on the IL description, considering it's true...

Hmm... this has me a bit worried if it’s not a vacation style EP. Obviously need to wait until the official announcement but first thoughts are there’s only so much I can think of in my head about doing another residential world and in an island theme. Still, I’m holding onto hope that there will be vacations allowed and they introduce hotels!

I like the name "Island Living" a lot more than "Tropical / Island Paradise". As others have pointed out, it might become a new theme with pack names, since we already had City Living and might get more packs with "Living" in their titles in the future. (In Germany, Outdoor Retreat is actually called Outdoor Living as well.)

But in the end, I don't really care about the title as long as I like the contents, and this description (if it's real) makes it sound a lot like sims will be able to live in this new world rather than just visiting it. I hope that's the case, because I already have a sim who would love to live on a sunny island!

Wow they took “City Living” and replaced “City” with “Island”. That’s about as creative as using the “Get” naming convention 3 times. Are they that burnt out over there? A unique pack title is one of the easiest things they could possible generate there, and they instead rip off the title of another expansion. Sad

Out of all the things to rip on, this is what you rip on? Nobody complained about Apartment Life, University Life, Night Life etc.

It's not a big deal, out of all the things you could complain about this is easily one of the least important.

I think if its an expansion pack world like City Living and not a vacation world like Outdoor Retreat then it could have a hotel function the same way City Living has the apartment function. It could be a world where sims can own hotels and own vacation rental homes and then hopefully be used in other worlds too. If its a game pack style vacation world then it might actually be less likely you could own the hotels as that is not how the systems work currently but who knows? I think EA will either make it that it is either a City living type world where you can own a house, own a second house , own a hotel or its vacation style world where you cant own anything but can rent out. I doubt they would include all those options.

TFW when you learn about an expansion and its release date from a third party first instead of the developers
