I think it's absolutely gorgeous, but I don't play it as often as I originally anticipated, because it tends to feel rather empty to me. But it's great if you have a household of homebodies. For example, I haven't spent a lot of time on this yet, but I found a gorgeous ancient vineyard lot on the gallery, and I'm planning to add a family that is focused on making and selling nectar. I figure they will be pretty busy with that! (Once I see how the Adventure Awaits and B&H features combine, if possible, I might also try to have them run a little b&b from there as well.) My only other household there is a single sim who likes to spend all her time reading and swimming on the beach, and isn't particularly social, so that's fine, too.
