Would you have preferred if Sulani was a vacation world?
I honestly can see it being both but I like it where it is

Actually, I like having dual use.
I am using a retail property as a vacation house. It's nice that other sims live In Sulani and I have the choice of either having a sim live there, or have my sims living outside Sulani and enjoying it too. This expands the game for all my sims instead of just having a thematic wrapper over the same game play with a few activities thrown in to support the theme and is only enjoyed by a few.
I am playing out a sim who is a writer and adventurer.
He lives in San Myshuno and bought an empty plot of land in Sulani. He started out just camping there for the weekend and slowly built up the lot to a vacation home.

At this point he was staying for an entire week, since the money was rolling in from book sales and well paying freelance writer gigs.

He met a Sulanese (?) who turned out to be a mermaid.

She had an adventurous spirit and they both went to Selvadorada, which was certainly the opposite of paradise. (pretty miserable. :D )

It was very interesting to go adventuring with a mermaid. She brought some useful powers, but at the same time there was the threat of dehydration.

Since their vacation home is actually a retail lot, I took advantage of being able to sell both Sulani and Selvadorada items to tourists.

They now live in Windenburg, on the island, which is better for her since she is a bit of a loner and doesn't like crowds, and she is surrounded by water (even though she can't swim in it :p ). They still jaunt off to Sulani which is appreciated more when you are away from it for a while.
The plan is for them to have children and add a second level to the vacation home in Sulani. They will eventually retire there.
Want to enjoy GeekCon despite the rain, bring a mermaid.
I really love playing this way and I love this scenario and I wish vacation homes had been supported in this pack along with the depth to make it more enjoyable and less clunky. I can't use this for sims with fame since the paparazzi are vicious on retail lots. I can't wait to use Sulani for my University students on spring break and they will probably live there for a year after graduating, working the conservationist career, before moving to the other worlds and starting their true careers.
