Now that time has passed, for those of you who got the pack, how are you liking it?
Forum Discussion
I have had the pack 3 days and have played constantly.
The world is beautiful, I had my sim clean the island up quickly by working none stop and it was worth it.
The game play is very shallow, like others I would like to have seen more work on the culture. Can't help wondering what the people whose culture this was based on are thinking.
Parrot fish are not recoloured salmon, gold fish are a cold water species like perch and would die in the ocean etc, etc. Mistakes like this make me wonder if the programmers know anything about the planet we live on.
I have played the summer here for two years with the season length set at 28 days (weather machine assisted) , why? Because I am dreading the vile brown murky grass that comes with any season that is not summer. Grass (the sort that is used in this game and across the planet for gardens and growing in the wild) doesn’t have the ability to just change colour in the cold, its beyond ridiculous. Plus the psychological effect of having to put up with murky brown grass and brown 'ever green' shrubs is truly depressing. I cant even think about chancing that on these islands. Basically the plants, grass, trees should always be green like any that live on or close the equator. This can't be explained by the “Its just a game” excuse, its a fundamental part of this planet. Get out more guys or at least watch David Attenborough and find out how the planet really works.
Mermaids? Haven’t seen one or searched for one, so I have no opinion on them.
I would have liked some more fishing spots, fishing used to be (along with gardening) one of my favourite activities (I play to relax). Fishing seems to have been made so easy I don’t bother as much as I did. Oh and pineapples like being wild, I grafted mine to increase the quality and it worked perfectly.
Not worth the price due to shallow game play, rabbit holes and no attention to weather and plants on the island considering its unique environment & geographical placement. Love the beautiful scenery and the frogs in the waterfall and the real new fish.
One last thing, you know nothing about Planet Earth EA, so don’t give me protected spices to catch and threaten my sim with consequences if I put them in a tank, let me breed them or knock it off.
