I'm having trouble getting into it. I feel like I've already done everything that the pack offers in my first day of gameplay.
I feel this is easily the weakest expansion pack they have released so far in terms of gameplay and it is even weaker than most of the game packs in this regard which is alarming. And that makes me quite sad and not very hopeful about Realm of Magic.

I think it depends on what you consider "gameplay". I have been playing every day since this pack dropped and I still have tons of things to do.
Plus I just genuinely love what I have already done.
Spending every day snorkeling, free diving for seashells and doing yoga in the evenings... (who me? Jealous of my Sims? Nah...)

huh It is very clear fun is subjective because watching my sim swim around a buoy, watching bubble as they dive and then watching them finish the evening with yoga...I need more going on in my game for entertainment.

Apparently so.
I loathe interactive careers ( working from home I can deal with, but doctor or scientist? It's soooooo frustrating after awhile).

I also enjoy them doing similar tasks as snorkeling. Which is all the tasks.
I still don't get why snorkeling is wrongfully percieved as a "rabbit hole" when you have the exact same interactivity there as literally all other tasks. You can describe every action in the game like you describe snorkeling: workout? Check. Jogging? Check. Cooking? Check. Swimming in a pool? Check. Karaoke? Check.

Clearly those referring to snorkeling as a rabbit hole are talking about diving. You know that, you’re just trying to play semantic games with it.

Snorkeling is just as thrilling as diving tho. Your sim swims around a small area and pop up’s tell you what they find. I mean at least they don’t disappear but it’s not like snorkeling is a super exciting activity that adds so many dimensions to the game. It’s like a different form of jogging, and I don’t consider that very entertaining to watch given the repetition in just one play through.

Semantic games? I didn't think beardedgeek plays them but hey, difference of view is a thing. We might both be wrong. You are aggresively trying to shove your opinion down other people's throats by throwing around your opinion as if it is some kind of ultimate truth. And you seem to be able to read thoughts.

Personally I consider snorkeling very different from jogging. I tend to scroll in until first person view and enjoy the gorgeous riff. Similar to real life. I'm not a sporty snorkeler, I do it for the vista. Which looks different depending on weather and daytime and the aquatic life that is around - Ingame and in real life.

No one is taking away from the pretty. I think we all can agree Sulani is pretty but is that gameplay?? This is the thing I was trying to understand because I personally don't think it is.

I didn't think @drake_mccarty was trying to sway or shove an opinion down someone's throat. As I always say everyone has an opinion and they are entitled to it. You are entitled to watch your sim swim around the buoy and love it.
