Maybe Im biased because I never played or even cared about any of the other island living type expansion packs, but this one is just amazing.
When I saw the trailer I groaned, looked so boring to me, but once I started watching gameplay I was so intrigued and had to buy it straight away, and so far I love it!
Absolutely love how calm Island life is, its a great environment for more chill and kinda natural families, and tbh seeing my sims chill makes me chill :)
Altho in a way I wish there were features like hotels etc. I feel like this pack didn't need it and wasn't going in that direction anyways, and that altho it has a similar name to past packs it doesn't need to be the same as them - if they were the same, there'd be no point in buying it!
