Should I get Island Living on Sale?

If you have the patience, I would wait for a higher discount. Otherwise, go for it.

If you are actively playing and feel like the new world and the ocean will add to your game go for it! :) It will be 50% off eventually like all their expansions and that’s the only way I buy their packs now so I will wait.

I'd say it depends on how you feel about Sims 4 in general. If you like the game and are looking to add a beautiful world with water stuff then go for it, if you are looking for something to make a game you dont like into something else then I'd say pass.

I’m so tempted. I have been impatiently waiting. I keep going back and forth. The pack is right up my alley but I also know a 50% off sale is going to come eventually.

Hey, I saw Island Living is finally on sale for 25% off. I didn't know if I should get it now or wait for it to be cheaper somewhere down the road. I know most people have said it feels more like a Game Pack as opposed to an Expansion.

Thoughts?

Yes.

I have serious issues with the core gameplay of The Sims 4 which I've pretty much accepted isn't going to change at this point... Until they add a color wheel I'm always going to be wanting more content. I find it so much harder to create a house in Sims 4 because not everything matches. Simply by changing the colors of objects to match would be massive and I wouldn't feel like Sims 4 is lacking content.

I feel we're in the same boat. I know it will go down in price later but I also just want more content for my game. I'll get it eventually but I'll never buy a Sims 4 game at full price and I know sales don't happen too often. I feel like if I pass on this sale it's a guessing game of when the next sale will be and if it will be a better deal by that point or not.

I also it’s just that I’ve been spoiled because the last 3 EPs went on sale for 50% less than a month after release.

But like you said I don’t know when a better deal will come along.

IL will probably be at 50% on Origin in the next few months.
Ever since Seasons, the first and second sale after release is only 25% off. Seasons took a while - released in June, not on sale at 50% off until November (I was waiting for that, so that was the first time it was available at that price). I don't remember how long it took for Get Famous, but I know it took a few sales.
It WILL be 50% off, it's just a matter of how patient you are.

I really like some aspects of IL, but I don't think it's worth more than 1/2 price.

IMO the pack is worth no more than $20 for what you get. 25% off is not a good enough deal in my opinion, but you may feel differently. *Buyer beware* the pack is mostly just set dressing and doesn’t add much gameplay.
