lol you beat me to it...

That’s it, I need a completely Atlantis themed world ASAP where everything is underwater. How cool would that be?! People could get so creative with it. 😍

It’s so weird there are MERMAIDS but we can only see them swimming on the surface of the water...

Pray we get a update

Also the fact that there is not a whole lot of things you can do with mermaids. They are just like normal Sims with a tail. I would’ve liked if they did with mermaids how they did with vampires. Too many oversights..

Megan W Same for me, I was looking forward to that the most. I played this pack for 2 days then got bored because there was nothing left for my sims to do. I’m shocked at how little content this expansion has. Hotel resorts would have been the biggest part of this game. They really should have centered this pack around hotel/resorts & not the conservationist career. What were they thinking.

@@gigiblack2231 they were thinking made a lot of money with as little effort as possible. As long as people buy their game like you do they won't find the need to actually improve the game. Do as I do and stop supporting the sims 4.

gigi black I agree 100%.

go play the sims 3 then

Yes that was 1 of my complaints wit this pack...you would think they would've added that feature especially wit the Get to Work expansion....I RECOMMEND EVERY1 THAT HAVEN'T BOUGHT ISLAND LIVING PLEASE PLEASE W8 4 A Sale..this pack is not worthy of the typical price of a Sims 4 Expansion pack.

dork on the left lane exactly lol

Fuck, i would buy it instantly then. I only bought sims 4 for better graphics, because i like disaining alot, but gameplay is so dull

That is not how it works, which is why TS3 has such shit graphics.

I feel like I'm the only one who prefers ts3 graphics. Ts4 is beautiful yes, but in a cartoony artificial way. Ts4 maps look like 2D cartoons for 5year olds. Ts3 graphics are actually realistic and on high settings are amazing

@@lilfairyprincess1o1 sims 3 actually has superior graphics just bad character designers. Literally the graphics are more advanced, things like HDR and stuff whereas sims 4 rendering is limited as fuk

I disagree...musicians in The Sims 4 are excellent...shame we don't have bands to go with them though.

Except for vampires and celebrities, but everything else I agree

Except for the ugly pudding face sims, besides that I agree with u.

@@TY-lg1iu Custom Contents provided an easy fix for that.

Truth

I got The Sims 4 for free about a month ago off Origin. I immediately learned why. You get 60% of a game. That 60% is pretty damned good. The other 40%, and all the additional content, is very, very expensive. $40 for the bigger expansions, $30 for the smaller ones, and $20 for stuff packs is way too much. Even sales don't bring those prices down much.

I agree, besides clothes and *chairs*. It’s just like the Vampires GP with a new world and occult type but with instead mermaids.

I agree it's the only Expansion Pack I didn't buy as soon as it came out. It seemed the least expansive to me immediately. I could do more with Get Together or City Living, you know?

I honestly think people are buying the man hours spent working on expanding the capability of the engine that dictates what a sims DLC can do with the new job mechanic and the water redesign.

Yeah this is why I never buy it full price tbh...

THAT is a very good question

A true mystery

Frustr8d the sim supply did an interesting interview with the manager of the sims 4 which dives into this question! It’s a good watch!

Because EA

@Axel Drans They're concerned with performance issues and their target demographic. A lot of sims players aren't hardcore gamers that are gonna have brand new computers with amazing specs. And having features like that will cause performance issues.

And the winner of what pack gets these features is..... *drumroll* eco lifestyle!

BRO THIS LITERALLY HAPPENED LMAO

eco lifestyle.... well...

I didn't buy eco cause it came out when covid was hot and I was like um. This is morbid. LOL

One Eco Lifestyle pack later...

little did they know eco living would shatter the recycling expectation by recycling recycled content

This comment has aged very well.

Hello nozo stan

eltiletulf I also believe it is a glorified game pack that could’ve been an expansion pack had more content been added to it. A lot of oversights...

Lmao. We should get a pack called "Missed Opportunities" which has everything that should've been included in various expansions. $40 xD

"My first island experience stuff" "scuba diving stuff pack" "mermaids powers stuff pack"😂😂😂

Smokeytripod Still waiting for my first rodent stuff and my first amphibian stuff, add-ons to my first pet stuff, an add-on to cats and dogs

@Axel Drans I would say they would never do that but as they have before you just never know what they will do for a quick cash grab

"My First Island Vacation"

Well, we didnt get that, but they made all the missing stuff from the ecologist & off the grid sides into an EP

Ooooh that would have been a great compromise

Exactly! And there should have been some sort of secret Mermaid grotto too. This pack was a wasted opportunity.

because theyre lazy as fuck

like sixam and the other 3 secret worlds. they could have put a small underwater exploring world or a hidden world trough the cave at the wrecked ship. would have been so easy but no!

That was my biggest disappointment in the expansion pack.

Same... It's genuinely sad...

Same. I don't even play the game. It just seems dumb to not have an open world Sims game by 2019.

Not for the Star Wars one though, unfortunately. Pity - I really wanted to see him rip into that. Maybe he'll change his mind.

Me when I heard Cottage Living is releasing lol

you must be poor

Beverly Lee but they made that incredible ball pit!! 🤪

Beverly Lee loooooool 😂😂

They can do so much more! The game quality is so much better. The loading screens and rabbit holes allows people with weaker pc’s to play the game. If it was 100% open world with the same mechanics and graphics anyone without a GOD pc couldn’t play.

Daniel K. Has drank the koolaid.

WakeupGrandOwl he's right though??

i'd rather have brutal bells and brutal whistles, just like good ol' Doom

Exactly

I always wait for LGR reviews because that way I know exactly what I'm getting when I buy new DLC. That said, I'm enjoying the game more than he is so I've bought every pack, but I had a hunch that he'd have some good things to say about this one. He's been putting new stuff in the gallery and I don't recall him doing that at all since I started following him.

Yup!

CON.SOL me too lol his reviews are just that! The sims creators can’t stand it though lol

lol

That's not all it's full of! :-D

No rabbit holes... Just no buildings at all, actually ! problem solved !

Sims 4 is one of the biggest disappointments in the world.

Honestly I feel like Sims 2 has significantly better gameplay than the Sins 3. Everything was so amazing and realistic in Sims 2. Remember having to trim the shrubs in your garden, getting food poisoning from off food and teens randomly getting pimples.

Sims 2 ultimate collection is the best imo.

I remember everyone complaining about how the Sims 3 wasn't as good as Sims 2.

I used to be waiting for the launch day, and then going to buy them the release day... even at midnight, that was great and exciting!... Now, Sims 4 really disappoint me

The competition would need a fresh new angle. I don't want it to be "The Sims but by another company", however I don't want it to be "NOT The Sims" where they change everything. Maybe like weird aliens living on an interesting planet doing cool stuff? Or maybe something else...

@@theepurpletoaster You know, I considered doing it with aliens, with the premise being that they don't actually understand how humans work and that the game is their close approximation. But then that might be too alienating, ironically enough. Still, nonhumans acting human isn't a bad angle to approach it with.

That actually sounds like a great idea Sobi. Basically 3rd Rock from the Sun the Game? it would justify all the ridiculous things you have to actually control them doing

@@KairuHakubi I'm actually not that familiar with 3rd Rock, but I'll give it a look. And yeah, that was basically the idea. The Sims have always been an exaggerated representation of daily human activity, why not take that to its logical conclusion and have actual aliens trying to replicate humanity? It's something I've thought a lot about and I actually have a character design that could work as a base for the aliens. (Less gleebleglorb grey aliens and more of a fleshed out alien race that accidentally picked up human tv and internet broadcasts through a wormhole.)

@@SobiTheRobot If you make that game I would defently play it.

@@jaweiss34 Not half! In many ways I wish that The Sims 4 had never existed and that The Sims 3 had just been continued to be expanded upon.

that is true, but island paradise barely functioned if you owned other packs. there was so much stuff to do that it became extremely laggy after a little bit of gameplay

Yeah :// I was really excited for this because Island Paradise was so nonfunctional on my computer but I’m really let down with the features offered.

Vanna Mae Yeah. I was seeing parallels between this and game of thrones season 8 reviews.

Every review is honest?!

@@tomtalk24 I know this is 2 years old but sweetie...no

I feel you. But I'm hoping the reason this expansion was so lackluster is because they are working on another expansion at the same time. I'm hoping university in fall?

Probably not, Realm of Magic is coming this fall

Sulani is a real place?

I wanted so bad a hidden temple or a tomb where the elementals live; and we have to explore the cave and resolve something to be able to do so; also, I really wanted a secret mermaid grotto, or a place where they hang out, and the only way to reach it is max level scuba diving or being a mermaid! They could do so much with this pack but they just did nothing!

@@alexdelaloire8739 Like Atlantis?

@@alexdelaloire8739 Well the same people that worked on Rollercoaster Tycoon also created Planet Coaster. After the last Rollercoaster Tycoon flopped they changed the name and created Planet Coaster.

@@sweetpjeb23 yeah what I meant is either Maxis and EA do something and improve the sims or another company would take the lead!! two situations here: cities skyline situation or planet coaster situation! If the sims got improved even if it's just the pack contents and gameplays, they'll keep the monopole a little bit (so planet coaster situation) but if they stay like this they'll loose lots of customers (like with cities skylines)!

my dream would come true

i kinda disaagre with the planet coaster being better, because i still think roller coaster tycoon 3 had more cool stuff like water parks etc.... but yeah.... sims need another game to compete tho.

Fun fact, someone accessed the Sims 4 website and saw the list of Game Packs and Expansion Packs. Suffice to say Island Living was in both of them. It's not a glitch, as the Game Pack label and design were in the cover. Meaning this used to be a game pack in the first place.

@@LymphNode125 I'm not suprised at all. I'm so tired of EA, I was so excited for this to come out but it's nothing more than a 40$ game pack. Sad :(

I was playing off grid and it was so frustrating that stuff had to get disgusting because "cleaning requires plumbing" 😒 Edit: just got to the part in the video where he says the same thing 😂

Yeah they really should've balanced the lot trait better and reintroduced the eco-friendly trait from TS3. If they'd done that + given mermaids an actual skill to master it would definitely be worth $40.

they'll be introducing a stuff/game pack for that lol bookmark me

@@ravenaroteros for sure, i thought it was weird the off the grid lot trait was added in the patch. But also, I find it odd that the exp pack didn't add any new object for the off the grid trait, since it was marked as a feature for the pack. It's gonna be My First Pet Stuff all over again, things that should be in the expansion, but were taken off to milk more money. It just makes the expansion feel incomplete and definitely not worth the full price.

@@ravenaroteros i sincerely hope so. i was so excited for off the grid until i found out it's basically impossible to function because there are no alternatives to anything

TheRealSmiley In my opinion I love the sims 4 version better plus it actually works so you gotta try out both to really know

I wish i can play Sims 3 properly on my PC without insane lags and crashes. I used to play it fine before, but my new equipment and new OS updates doesn't seem to like Sims 3 now.

TheRealSmiley I can’t play sims 3 because I have a mac and it doesn’t run on mac properly. It gives and error message. If I could I would though!!!

ruan ya me too. Shame about the glitching.

Yea the world was amazing and sulani is too but I wish you could go underwater especially with sims 4 graphics

Agreed.

I created an insane amount of resorts and I still go back to Sims 3. Imo Sims 3 is still the best of all of them even based on the base game alone.

It definitely feels like a game pack, if they’d have added more content like being able to manage your own hotel/resort, underwater lots that you can explore for the diving skill and more in depth mermaids etc I’d say sure, but really you’re just paying $40 for the world of Sulani and not much else. It’s a nice pack don’t get me wrong but I feel like there should be more on offer for it to be an expansion pack.

@@jim.b0b 100% agree, I would even settle for just more depth for the mermaids and underwater lots (even if that means a loading screen) I'm not as pressed for resorts as other people but yeah. It's definitely lacking

Agreed, it's like "cool!" at first, but then you start playing and you realize there's not much happening to add to the gameplay.

I agree entirely. It's a beautiful map with the best CaS and Build/Buy Items but outside of aesthetics there's just something missing when actually playing.

@@Kairex true...i really hoped they would make mermaids like they did vampires with those special abilites (even if it was only few of them)

Apparently there’s a new indie life simulator that’s going to be coming out on Steam sometime soon. I think it’s called Paralives. Who knows, maybe it’ll give EA a run for their money

Paralives:)

Kurt Cobain Its totally ok. You worked hard for those 40 bucks and you feel like you wasted it. But don’t be so hard on yourself and don’t feel guilty! Yeah the ep sucked but ya know what you got some new things in your game that you can enjoy now like build/buy items. You fell for a hype, nothing wrong with that (:

Don't waste hours shortening your life over meaningless shit like this. Buy all the TS3 EPs and SPs when they go on Steam sale (which has all of this holiday week). Join the growing number of Simmers who've deleted Origin off their systems for good. Launch and play your TS3 game without intrusive spyware in peace from Steam. Makes for a FAR more stable game experience. aka no CTDs etc etc

@@simsdiver5201 I still wouldn't go back to The Sims 3. It's more quality gameplay, but the actual game is just too buggy and laggy.

@@ExtraordinaryFate It wouldn't be if you installed Twallans (NRaas) mods. At least the top 4 aka Story Progression (superior to EAs in every way), Overwatch, Error Trap and Master Controller. All of which takes less than 5 mins to do. 100% of EAs buggy glitched mess from the vanilla game went away when I installed these 4 mods (and ultimately all of Twallan's mod suite). Also not sure what sort of hardware you're using. I have a top end system. But simmers with medium end systems never had game breaking issues running the base game plus all EPs/SPs. Especially with Nraas mods installed.

The only pack I paid full price for is StrangerVille - it was the only pack that was so unique that I was ok paying full price for it. I was disappointed in how piss poor they created the residential and community lots, but the world is pretty, the secret lab is cool, the weather is funky, and infected sims are hilarious. It is great there are 11 lots, though I wish there were more fishing lots. But I don't regret buying it, like I do with Parenthood, which isn't fun, just makes my generations unnecessarily tedious. Generations in sims 3 was better. I miss the prom

Joy Lou ye but they’d be half assed like always in sims 4

exactly! I think resorts was a really under appreciated piece of island living! it was really the only thing i repeatedly went back to

To be fair Wicked Whims isn’t allowed to be directly monetized due to legal reasons. But yeah I knew that I wasn’t dropping $40 on this once it was announced. Definitely picking it up 50% off at target.

if they ever even make a University pack lol. we've been asking for YEARS for that and this is the bs they give us. >:(

I actually don't believe that University will ever come. Normally, it would be the move to release the base expansions first (Seasons, Pets, University, ...) and than fill the game with fun, but not necessary content, like Island Living and Stranger Ville and since they've moved to the fun-content, I actually don't believe that University will ever come around. Especially since they are releasing the Macig-pack next.

University would take long to make. I mean what do you need it for.

Don’t make me cry like this... please.. that’s all im holding on for..

Actually the Sims 2 team was the most productive of them all.

@@lovelypuff9 Actually, sims 1

An Actual Adult actually sims 0

At one point, The Sims 3 had three studios working together at the same time. The Sims Studio, the original studio itself; Maxis Salt Lake, who developed Showtime, Supernatural, University Life, and Into the Future; and another team dedicated to producing TS3 Store Content. Three teams working together at the same time, while it is good for pumping out content, like I really doubt any future TS game can pass the amount of stuff that was produced for TS3, it also probably caused some coordination issues between teams which lead to the issues that TS3 has. For TS4, I think it is a complete joke nowadays compared to the other older entries but I don't really blame the current developers for it.

It's hard to blame the team of developers when they're only doing what corporate tells them to. I'm sure they'd do more if corporate would allow it.

really no new skills? That pretty much sucks. There should be a rule that all EPs require at a bare minimum certain things that GPs don't have, with skills being one of them

I think 4 is more fun but that’s just my opinion they are both great games

Something really went wrong in early development, and now it doesn't feel like any level of expansion pack could make this feel like a complete game. Even without all expansions, S3 & S2 gameplay just lasts so much longer without becoming boring and feels like a complete experience.

I don't think they're rushing shit. I think they know they don't have to put any effort into the game, so they don't, and people still buy it. Then they purposefully leave stuff out from the base game and add-ons just to be able to make more money by selling features that should already be available, later in a diff pack.

facts

players should taking this expansion packs selling more seriously... I mean $40 for recycled concept in every sims game, BUT with subpar or passionless contents. I think EA will make another Sims game simply because the players are easily-manipulated goldmine, not because they want to expand creativity to the franchise. You can always complain about your dissapoinment, but this expansions practice is too precious to let go for EA and you will always fall for it.

Not to mention honest. I don't trust Game Changers. Sorry, you guys.

yeah idk which to get

city living was the pack with the least objects and gameplay actually. with get famous having the biggest variety of build and buy. cats and dogs was an equal EP. seasons focused more on gameplay than cas and build n buy.

Nah, this franchise has a lot of fans who will buy any slop that's put out, simply so they have a complete collection.

Nah, I always buy the packs on sale, ok for city living I really could have paid full price as it is kinda having lots more features than I expected...but the rest of it I waited for promotions (except vampires)

I didn’t buy it on discount ;^; mostly because I was really excited for oceans and pretty islands, plus I have a thing with buying games in stores and they’re never really on sale in a physical store...

My mom bought it for me, and we both facepalmed when we realized what came in the pack for $40🤠

@Some idiot Will do ♥ The more disappointing these packs get I think I might just stop buying sim games altogether. I stopped myself from buying all the packs before this one, but ocean swimming was too tempting. Last game I bought was the seasons expansion (And I didn't get any of the game packs except vampires, or get together and city living expansions) I really am enjoying Island Living, but the longer I play the more I realize there isn't a whole lot going on here lol Lots of rabbit holes which... Meh would be okay if this was sims 3, but to have no secret worlds and really limited options? Err... nahnah. Don't even have volleyball, houseboats or kneeboarding, or resorts, and my sim can't die in the volcano??? why even bother making it so sims can go up there. The world itself is pretty big, especially the ocean, but the lack of things to do in said ocean that don't involve lounging and rabbit holes is kinda sad. I think the main problem with the Sims Dev team besides their publisher >_>, is that that they sometimes overlook things. A lot worse and more noticeable than the other sims games. I get EA rushes them, but the fact they seem to take so much longer than Sims 3 ever did is a little perturbing. Maybe smaller dev team from half the devs that worked on Sims 3 getting fired? In which case EA is the real criminal here.

Souji Monaru the things people complain about will go to the sims 5 if they make it any time soon. The things people hate(rabbit holes, loading screens, ) those are the main 2 cause they annoy people so much. They added these to allow people with weaker pcs to play. I like some of this stuff cause it makes the game run smoother for me but I understand that people who would already run it fine get mad. Until there is a new age of computers are software they shouldn’t release the sims 5. I want the sims 5 to be a completely open world(like connecting towns and open oceans) like playing in a big world like Breath of the wild. This would require a new software and new computers to be able to run it.

It looks like the sims 5 is already on the works, and now that they made the sims 4 entirely for "weak computers" I hope they make the sims 5 entirely for decent computers.

Souji Monaru yep. The sims 4 was doomed from the start .

@@desired2396 There are computers that can run that. You just have to buy the parts. Even my pre-built PC ran Sims 3 just fine with all expansions and stuff packs. It's time the players invested into a better gaming computer.

I spent too much money on sims 4...i think they definitely can improve it before just moving on

EA served again and you will deal

ellure Let’s just talk about how most people who like EA and their shitty packs are BUILDERS who hardly ever go into gameplay. The Sims team mostly caters to builders, and there is hardly a good patch for gameplay.

It says a lot though when we see someone like Deligracy express her disappointment with this expansion pack. She was honest instead of keeping quiet so she can keep getting games for free and going to events, lol.

*sims 4 stans,,, honestly i am never gonna budge from sims 3. i love the mods, open world, and possibility to be creative. ten years of playing and i'm still not bored

Every1 except me...I've been telling all my fellow sims friends/players 2 w8 4 a sale on this pack

I dunno... Resorts are very big places, so with such small lots...

And little did you know how right you were 💀💀💀

spot on lol

definitely seems like EA rushed the team creating this pack to release it in time for the end of kids school year

Yeah, either the team is lazy and doesn't take criticism or EA is pressuring the team to work faster.

@@alexdelaloire8739 My money is on EA rushing the team, as the sims team do seem passionate about making content.

@@smallworldhaker7781 That definitely seems like the case, Island Living was announced like what two weeks before it was set to release? Seems like EA was telling the sims team "Quick, get something out!" and having them cut a lot of content out of the pack.

I remember when get together was originally announced, they ended up pushing back the release date by a few weeks. And that pack actually feels very fleshed out compared to the other ones

Mermaids are wayyy better than sims 3 tho

@@matthewd3175 not really...in the sims 3 if the mermaids were evil they could get sharks to attack people

I was so angry when I played scuba diving only to find out what it was....sims 3 scuba diving was fucking cool

@@matthewd3175 maybe u like it cus of the animation and graphics, like look it is more fun to explore the underwater world and being a mermaid that is actually underwater

Same I didn’t look at this before buying this and I kinda regret doing it now...

Spend your own money

I agree with these prices.

That's the most I'm willing to pay for them. Wait for sales or check out key resale shops instead.

I agree the prices are perfect

they will never do that since people already showed they are willing to pay higher prices

I only buy if there's a sale. And I mean a 50% off sale, not just 20% off.

AnnMei Li at least they’re consistent 🥴

@@jaweiss34 🤣

Maybe it's Graham Nardone or Ryan.

Same!

You lean twice the price of a game pack?

Same
