Sooo since Island Living is already out in many parts of the world, or will be very very soon, I wanted to make this poll for those who are still on the fence about getting this pack! So, once you...

I'm still exploring the pack, but I'm hovering between 7 and 8 (because mermaids bump it up for me). I don't know which to vote for, since the pack has good content in it, and I'm loving it, but it's missing some depth.
I've preordered the pack elsewhere for a much cheaper price (around 30 bucks), and I think the cheaper price is a much better fit for the pack. It's gorgeous, and I just love the mermaids, but I feel that rabbit holes, limitations of mermaids (like no baby/toddler/child mermaid stuff and lack of real drowning power), lack of underwater lots, not quite enough beach or water activities, and not able to have toddlers play-swim (ala Sims 3) hurt the pack, in my opinion.
I feel Island Paradise is better in some ways, but I still prefer these Sims 4 mermaids over the past ones, so I'm divided here. Ignoring the meh mermaids from Sims 3, Sims 3 Island Paradise and the Sims 3 store both have more content for this kind of theme. (Too bad I'm too meh about Sims 3 overall, ugh.)
I still love the pack overall, though (for the reduced price I got). Gorgeous world and lovely content in various areas. And the mermaids are still awesome. :heart:
I just feel there could be more done with some of the content. I am missing houseboats, for example. Being able to take the camera underwater and see how sims swim underwater (ala Sims 3) would have been awesome as well. Lifeguard career that's not rabbithole, for sure!
That is just my two cents, though. I am still playing and enjoying the pack, but I already like Sims 4, and I always love mermaids, so that could be what's influencing me, lol. :wink:
It would still be one of my top packs (for the reduced price), just because mermaids and island theme alone. :smile: It just had potential to be more indepth in some areas.
