THREAD CLOSED

So far, I'm liking it, but I've barely scratched the surface of it yet.

Love it - it is my haven away from all the other worlds where my sims only welcome sea creatures and native families to the islands. No tourists and so far no sims from the other worlds show up here with the exception of an elder man and his wife in fishing gear. They fished for a while and then left. Loved that.

Sims from other worlds will show up if you put in a Restaurent in Sulani.

Don't need a restaurent. They show up mainly in Ohan'ali Town. When my sim lived on Mua Pel'am I only saw 2 and have never seen any on Lani St. Taz. But when I moved him to Ohan'ali Town I see them a lot probably because the Sand Bar bar lot.

I think I’d have to agree with those who think this pack could have been more. The world is gorgeous as well as the CAS and build/buy mode items, and there’s some cute and fun interactions and things to do. However I feel like the gameplay was not enough for an “expansion pack”. I like the island vibes and the townies included, but I love playing occult sims and I was disappointed with the mermaids :( I still think it’s a good pack but I was expecting a bit more from what we saw in the trailers and such.

When do you guys think they’ll fix all the bugs? Like the mermaid genes not working etc? It feels like it’s taking a while

@EdithV It depends on how 'hard' it is for them - there are still bugs in GTW that they still haven't fixed, and probably never will. Maybe if we make enough noise.

Unfortunately bug fixes can take a long while depending on what is causing them but most of the time big bugs are fixed as quickly as they can. Some bugs aren’t fixed because they aren’t universal but usually if it’s one everyone or most everyone has it will be fixed. I’m praying for a toddler fix soon those are a mess right now.

Still having fun.

Well, I was planning to wait for my birthday when I had cash on hand (2wks away) but I broke down and bought it last night. I couldn't wait any longer. But, after an hour into it, I'm disappointed. There is hardly any new gameplay. The beach and stuff is very nice, I like being able to tan and such but this is a big disappointment! We can't even dive on our own. I was expecting something like Sims 3 where we could swim around underwater. I was thrilled to see the underwater camera but we can't even take our own photos! Honestly, for a second I was tempted to return the game! I'm not, but wow such a letdown. I haven't tried the mermaid yet but from what I read online there isn't much to that either, it's nothing the vampire where you can level up and do new stuff. This is just a huge letdown.

Don't get me wrong, I hate complaining like this. I've been a Sims fan since the 1980s when Sims City came out. I have played The Sims since The Sims 1. I have bought every single pack and game add on. My kids have grown up playing this game too. I'm a huge fan and a huge supporter. I even wrote an article about using the game for homeschooling lessons! I'm just really sad because it seems EA has given up on the game. It breaks my heart to say that too. I haven't even talked to my girls yet about how disappointed I am. I'm waiting for them to try the game out and hear their thoughts.
