What would you want to see in a pack refresh for Island Living?

Definitely mermaid depth. I want a perk/skill/power tree like vampires. Plus some QoL mermaid details. I've always liked the tail showing up in the bath and more stuff like that would be appreciated. I would also be happy with any extra stuff added to CAS, etc. here.

Definitely more water activities and activities in general. I don't have to have it, but underwater would be really nice. Especially with mermaids.

I really like Sulani as a world. It is one of my favorites. However, I agree the culture could use some buffing. I know the festivals were stated to be informal, but if I am resident I should know enough to be able to attend them. I would not turn down a culture skill, but I am not sure that should be the way ago. With residential worlds, like IL's and SE's, I like the cultural differences offered in a variety of ways, rather than it feeling like something you have to learn like vacation only JA. I do not think I like the idea of having a kid just never learning the skill so they aren't a part of it. Kids do learn their culture, but it is not 1:1 like say a skill.

If I can get them, more traits. Always like more traits. I'd like an ocean focused nature aspiration in particular, but any aspirations. I would certainly like a new skill. Also any extra cross play would be lovely.

I do not really have a huge list of desires for IL in particular. Make mermaids better and give me more stuff, especially cross play, and I will be happy.

Yeah, I can see what you mean, but I'd like to think with 'Island Living' I think there would be more culture related things revolving around it, since it's not some touristy attraction place like Hawaii or something to that effect.

My personal refresh for Sulani isn't super big definitely a bit more depth with mermaids for sure. The career with that pack has far more depth than mermaids when you get further into the branch when you play with it.

For the most part just more activities to do, especially when sims are visiting for vacation. Just give me more of a reason to visit Sulani.

I’d love to see mermaids upgraded to be on par with spellcasters and vampires. I want build/buy options that allow my mermaid to basically live fully in the water without the need to spend anytime on land, whether that be via a hidden mermaid world or special items that stay in the water and let them fulfill their needs. Mermaid aspirations. Island themed recipes.

I’d love for the conservationist career to more accessible to mermaids; some of the diving options aren’t available. Mermaids should have their own career branch and method of cleaning up the island.

I definitely think more more underwater life for mermaids. Surfing and more beach activities would be nice. Maybe crafting from seashells, etc. I don’t really want to see resorts, because one of Sulani’s main appeals to me is that this is more of an indigenous culture without the negative effects of modern corporate overdevelopment. A new beach town, based on a more urban location (like Miami, for example) would be better suited to resorts, I think.

Underwater gameplay.
With mermaids and diving I wanna be able to actually be underwater with them.

Underwater gameplay /deep diving, but I'm not sure if that's too much for a refresh.

At the very least mermaid grave/urn and crib and the lazy programming that doesn't just make them transform to use dock ladders. They manage it to use boats I don't understand the issue.... so much of that pack screams cut corners.
