What do you think of Island Living?

I like it a lot. I just wish there was at least one lot rentable (just like in JA and OR). I am going to get it on a sale though since this game costs a fortune in my country.

@DoloresGrey How much does it cost for you?

About 1000 CZK. It is the same price in all the countries though the economics is obviously different in USA or Czechia or IDK... India for an exmaple. The average salary here is about 30 000 CZK (mothly). Our monthly apartment rent is about 11 000 CZK. I don't know it just seems (to me) like a lot of money for an expansion.

I pre-ordered on Saturday! Gimme gimme gimme! :D

Super excited. I've wanted my sims to live on the beach since day 1 of the sims 4. Already preordered.

I get mermaids and people finally get their tropical pack, sounds decent enough to me. I don't have any use for the pack besides mermaids and making Moana and Ariel though, I'm really not into tropical things. All of the furniture will probably remain unused. So I'll be waiting until Realm of Magic comes out so I can bundle.

Getting this one the day it comes out. The new life state (I love occult states), the islands that remind me of my family, the beauty of the world, ocean swimming, building lots over the water, and honestly those two pretty lounge chairs and towels. There are a few things I would have liked a little different but not enough to put me off this beauty.

I love the features, cas, build/buy and the world. I love the tropical island theme. It will suit my playstyle well I think :smiley:

I'll probably pre-order.

I'm very happy with what I'm seeing. Shocked by the volcano and the sea animal interactions; those are new. I think it will be an EP that will help round the Sims4 a bunch. I had hoped the ball spitting out of the volcano was a dragon, but I guess not. It looks really amazing. It looks really colorful, and playing with the sea animals will be a nice touch, maybe later after the newness wears off seeing what it is like living near the volcano, swimming as humans and mermaids, diving(will come in handy around pools), checking out the beach trash(which hopefully has message in a bottle <3 ), the spirits look interesting, and playing with kids/toddlers on the beach will be a fun new addition. Not heard what we can do in the waterfall, but really excited it has some play options(wish there was a treasure back there behind it). Love that they are bringing back kelp for instant mermaids. The team did an excellent job on this pack. Some of the stuff below might be something to think about in future water packs. <3


Wish the bathing suits were a little cuter like some of the cc from Sims3
Wish they hadn't left out hotels and houseboats. Houseboats would've been really nice. I lived in them only in Island Paradise.
Hammocks would've been a new sleep style, maybe fern mat bed, exlarge blanket for toddlers, sims, or bums to sleep on the beach on
Hope you can sleep on those towels
Really needed a toddler boat to take them out in the ocean and in pools and later infants could use it as well
Infants being freed would've been nice because I'm guessing you go on vacation without them, which families don't really do
I wish they had a second version of the yardsale table from Jungle Adventures, maybe with ferns on top and native selling their wares

Now just need Farming and Uni.

It looks nice and all, but that's mainly what it does to me. Looks nice.

Like a lot of things in The Sims 4 it feels like they mainly focus on gimmicks and niche things, making the gameplay and versatility suffer. Sure there will be mermaids and other things, it just feels so....little.
I wish there was more activities and features. Like hotel and other vacation things for those who doesn't want their sims to live there, or just magically travel to some tropical islands for a date. I also doubt many of the islands' features will work outside Sulani. Like walking into the water on the other world maps as an example.
Would be nice with more boats aswell since they are island, such as houseboats.

I'd likely only get it if I find it on sale sometime later.
