Pros
It’s beautiful.
Nice to finally have ocean swimming, snorkelling, sunbathing and jet skis. Dolphins are cute.
Cons
As beautiful as the world is, it feels really small. It’s missing so many basic community lots and while one could argue the theme is not a city it doesn’t need clubs, gyms etc- that’s not what I mean. I mean I can’t see myself setting a family up there pretending they are living in a tropical destination cut off from civilisation when there’s nothing really do there besides the above mentioned activities. While travelling between the worlds has always been a thing in the sims 4 and I know people will read this and think “Just travel to another world” in some situations that can break immersion not to mention it just feels empty besides the aboveboard mentioned activities.
So.many.rabbit.holes.
Why? Odd jobs? Rabbit hole. New careers rabbit hole apart from the conservation one I think?
Sunbathing, swimming and snorkelling is fun, but it’s going to get old.
I get that performance is a concern but as much as I love the world it feels very limited.
CAS items are really nice.
I can’t comment on mermaids.
