Emerald Collier that’s one thing about TS3, I felt like it had more diverse skin tones, and with CC, omg, it was amazing! But I do agree, the People who have darker skin shades get the shorter end of the stick, and I wish they had more skin tones... it’s the beauty community in the sims! Lol...
@@ryaninslee5949 true, true, and TRUE! There are so many times that I've considered going back to TS3 just for those reasons. I've been holding out hope for TS4 though so I'm happy this pack is making some strides
I’m a poc, and i think they did a fantastic job with this pack! I’m living in an island too (in Bali, dont live in oceania though) and i love the fact that this pack is just so diverse!
"I love to give my opinion when nobody's asked for it" 😂😂😂 the shade...at least your opinion is actually worth something and builds up instead of tearing down 😉
I’m sure you probably know now but there are 4 brand new careers. Diver Fisherman Conservationist Lifeguard EA also unlocked the traditional “teen” part time careers for Adults.
ohhhhh my god the part time thing better be in the patch, I've literally wanted that since I bought this game back in 2014 but all the mods for it are so buggy. thank you for mentioning that. I've had my eyes glued to the hypetrain for this release but I somehow missed it.
About the traditional cooking method, it's called a hangi. Maori use it to cook meats, vegetables, basically anything. (And you're right, it is Polynesian.)
@@SingPandaProductions Not really, it's not as resource hogging as The Sims 3 was/is. Alot of The Sims 3 problems, was unfinished roads and stuck Sims.
@@thesimslover82884the coding is different than sims 3. Sims 3 is laggy af unless you have an awesome computer lol imo sims 4 has always run smoother and less choppy. Its not free of issues but I think people are unfairly judging it. Its true though its hard to compete with sims 3 cause it was so good lol
I have a feeling that theyre making a separate game pack for resorts and hotels (that is, if theyre working on it at all). Just a feeling tho. Might not be till next year since theyve already announced the packs for this year, none of the upcoming packs seemed like the type to include hotels and resorts :/
Yeah it’s like sorry you can’t run your own resort but you can pick up trash for a living. I don’t think this pack craps over island paradise in the slightest except if it’s not laggy which I don’t even know if it will be yet. Of course picking up trash in the real world is important and very great but that over making and running your own resort?😬
You should do a limited pack build with Island Living, Jungle Adventure, and Movie Hangout Stuff. They all have a few items with a similar vibe, especially the first two
I totally agree with you about not seeing ALL the aspects of a pack before you play it. I was looking for a video that just broadly talked about all the features and this vid definitely did that! Btw love you and your channel!!
Honestly this expansion seems like it has just barely a little more content than a game pack. I kind of expect an expansion to add new gameplay mechanics that change the overall game experience like the fame system, clubs, seasons ect. I didn't get my hopes up for resorts to return but I wish there was some type of new venue like hotels or motels.The stilt foundation is very nice though. It seems like all the new things are very contained to the island
‘Just in case anyone’s a bit of a...’ ‘speedboats are also back’ Why did that make me laugh so hard?? Like just in case anyone’s a bit of a speedboat??? 😅😅😅
Delighted to hear it is actually playable! Sims 3 Island Paradise was impossible and made the game lag/crash, so I'm hyped for this new expansion pack.
Thank you! People want more stuff but sims 3 was so laggy and everyone complained. In order to drop the lag the devs had to close up the world and NOW people sre pissed too. Cant have it both ways ya know? If you have some imagination sims 4 is great. Island living is fun comes with tons of cas content and is gorgeous!
@@SingPandaProductions yeah except, sims 4 has been laggy nowadays despite the lack of an open world. The problem with sims 3 was the crappy way it was coded, and not the open world itself.
@@corey9137 idk... ppl compare sims 4 and 3 bc they both belong to the sims franchise??? And bc sims 4 was supposed to be better than sims 3 but ended up extremely lagging behind in terms of gameplay???
im so so so happy about the whole environmental aspect of the pack!! im especially excited for the off-the-grid lot trait, i have been DYING for something like this and although i initially wished it would be its own pack, i am more than content with getting it within an expansion :)
Liveta Vaiškūnaitė that is illegal. Those aren’t actual copies. To the very best of my knowledge you can only acquire sims 4 games safely and legally from Origin unfortunately
Oliviine I’ll definitely check out the mod so I can have some fun before the expansion 😂 but yeah, EA seems to be adding some really cool stuff for the mermaids!
Simmers: How many dlc you wanna make and think we want to buy? EA: YESSS Btw Island Living remind me Castaway. Love the theme EA brought to every sims game
honestly the hair meshes are so great! I usually cant stand ea meshes for hair and only use cc for hair but this pack has such a good set of hair meshes!!!
The thing I loved the most about Island Paradise in TS3 was the diving lots, I just loved being a mermaid and spend my days swimming with the little fishes (and sharks) under water, which is why I'm a bit disappointed that this is not a part of this pack. I honestly can't see the point of mermaids if we can't follow them *under* the surface, but maybe that's just me :)
I LOVE your review videos for packs because your actually honest!Some simmers just tell you the positive things although you explained everything including the bad things!I also can't wait for more Island Living videos off of you.Hopefully I'll be getting the pack when it comes out!!🙏🏼🙏🏼😁💗❤💙💚💛🧡💜❣❣❤
The thing about interactive diving and lag; In Sims 3, the whole world/neighbourhood was loaded, including all the packs, all the customization AND on top of that, the diving spaces. Laggy as hell. In Sims 4, only one lot and the neighborhood surrounding it is loaded. They "optimized" it (I use the word loosely because I think they were either lazy or didn't know how to solve the lag problem). So why not just make the diving another loading screen or inlcude it in the lot? If I had to guess, either they were running out of time or opted just not to make it because they wanted to focus on other stuff. I liked the diving in Sims 3 so I'm kinda sad to see it's not there, but the interactive cleaning of the world makes up for it big time.
I love you. You don't fuck around, you get straight to the point, you are precise and detail about what you talk about, you are structured. AND YOU ARE KNOWLEDGABLE! Best gamer woman I've come across so far. xx
What I think would be so cool, if the Sims could huula dance around the fire! It would have been so cute! Or even the Sims could dance with the dolphins ^^
@@liviegrande460 omg I read that wrong! I'm so tired that I initially thought that you wrote, 'And escorts :(' and I was like, *what!?* But a second look made it all clear lol

“cross pack compatibility”.. you hear that journey to batuu? i caved in and bought this pack and this is by far my fav pack i ever bought for sims 4. the island is SO cute
I love your vids. This overview is so different from all the other vids out there at the moment. Thanks. So hyped for this expansion. I like how you are very fair in your overview! Just keep swimming as Dorey says. We all can now lol x
I am putting together an amazon basket for sims stuff and phone accesories! Definitley gonna look for island living now and hopefully add it to my basket. And yes, i know i am nearly a year late to the pack 😯
I would totally love if they did a future ep like this but for a ice/Antarctic kinda world. Things like igloos, snowy world, cozy cabins, snowy mountains, ice skating etc
Mate I’ve got SO many ideas for off the grid things Solar panels, options to update your home to have rainwater collection. A composting toilet - eco friendly sims get a positive moodlet and snobby sims get a negative one for thinking it’s gross. Composting in general. I really like that you can’t turn off the shit on the beach and in the ocean, as this is so true in real life. I’d also love if there was an option to get sims involved in eco friendly protests, both voulenterily and as a career
You’re my fave sim-RUclipsr so obviously I wanted to watch your review hahah, I’m so glad you didn’t spoil too much cos that’s exactly what I didn’t want. I appreciate that ❤️
ive been on the fence about getting the pack buttt, after seeing everything the pack has to offer (i.e. the world and the new building features) im quite excited to purchase and play this pack
Sims 3 also had Hotels. That was a nice piece of gameplay, that came with Island Paradise Expansion. It seems like we might get Hotels only as a separate Game Pack, just like restaurants with Dine Out. Though this Expansion wouldn't hurt to have at least one hotel.
Had hoped to get them in this pack, because you know... and don't want to spend more money on stuff that should have been included and loosing a game pack on that 😢
@@TheGiraffenGirl you have a point. LGR said a lot about this issue. Though there's another side to it: developers try to make a game, that runs without too many issues, and take the time to make a quality content. Vampire pack showed that supernaturals can be complex, and people liked that. I would prefer to have well-thought hotels. My dream is to have a motel where my poor sims can live, just like in the apartment, or stay there for a vacation. It would be cool to own it, make money from it, while also being able to play for those, who move in there. Making that kind of pack would take a lot of effort from developers to include it into existing game.
The island I live on isn't exactly tropical, but it's still hot and an island and those clothes are EXACTLY what I've been needing for my sims! Ugh, they're gonna be walking around in the snow dressed like it's 30c outside. Two weeks is too long to wait for this one!
The fact that you clarify when saying "new careers" as if there are "new Koreas" gives me life Plumbella 😂 On the Island Living note this looks SO good and I'm so happy that you were so thorough with the review
Thanks for putting this up so quickly~ I hope travelling over for the announcement was a good experience for you x. I found your channel a couple days ago and haven't wanted to watch anyone else~ I've been watching your Sarah's Story playlist.. I love your honestly, humour etc. Will hopefully catch one of your streams soon~ x
Love the video! Thank you for not spoiling everything like so many other sims youtubers do. Very informative and just makes me want this EP so much more!!! Gah I'm so excited!!!
I honestly feel like resorts were a way too important feature in the Sims 3 Island Paradise to just completely cut out and not replace with another big feature
I swear you are one of my favorite people with the Sims! You know how to break stuff down for us when you do a review! I already know I need this pack!
if you think about it the thing about trash not being optional is a great thing. Not only does it help you get money, but it is a slap of reality telling you that nothing can be solved by itself and how the enviroment in our real world behaves the same (probably they didnt think about that but it would be great if they did)
All the simmers are posting content about the newest pack at the same time, so who am I going to chose to get my news from first? Plumbella, of course! ✨💕👏👏👏
Idk why I’m here. I’m gonna buy this pack anyway.

The ONLY thing I want to know is if there are mermaid toddlers.
Imagine, chubby toddlers splashing around with their stubby little tails I would DIE
Sorry but apparently only teens and up have tails ☹️ toddles with tails or even kids with tails would’ve been soooo cute!
The Mod community will fix that right up soon
It’s so annoying I’d love toddler/ kids as mermaids
No but they do look so cute playing in the water

i love this pack however i do feel like they should’ve added hotels in this pack like they did in the sims 3
Mate I’ve got SO many ideas for off the grid things
Solar panels, options to update your home to have rainwater collection. A composting toilet - eco friendly sims get a positive moodlet and snobby sims get a negative one for thinking it’s gross. Composting in general.
I really like that you can’t turn off the shit on the beach and in the ocean, as this is so true in real life.
I’d also love if there was an option to get sims involved in eco friendly protests, both voulenterily and as a career
‘Sunbern’ was my favourite part of this video? 🧡
You’re my fave sim-RUclipsr so obviously I wanted to watch your review hahah, I’m so glad you didn’t spoil too much cos that’s exactly what I didn’t want. I appreciate that ❤️
ive been on the fence about getting the pack buttt, after seeing everything the pack has to offer (i.e. the world and the new building features) im quite excited to purchase and play this pack
I’m literally so exited! I- I’m shook. Also did anyone else get really dizzy at the CAS part starting at 6:45 ?
Your review was the one I was waiting for the most 😂
Sims 3 also had Hotels. That was a nice piece of gameplay, that came with Island Paradise Expansion. It seems like we might get Hotels only as a separate Game Pack, just like restaurants with Dine Out. Though this Expansion wouldn't hurt to have at least one hotel.
Vee A. Agreed I miss hotels! I’m hoping they release them with a themepark style pack
Had hoped to get them in this pack, because you know... and don't want to spend more money on stuff that should have been included and loosing a game pack on that 😢
@@TheGiraffenGirl you have a point. LGR said a lot about this issue. Though there's another side to it: developers try to make a game, that runs without too many issues, and take the time to make a quality content. Vampire pack showed that supernaturals can be complex, and people liked that. I would prefer to have well-thought hotels. My dream is to have a motel where my poor sims can live, just like in the apartment, or stay there for a vacation. It would be cool to own it, make money from it, while also being able to play for those, who move in there. Making that kind of pack would take a lot of effort from developers to include it into existing game.
I’m gonna watch this full video even though I already preordered 👁👄👁

Great video 👍! Thanks for not spoiling. I am definitely looking forward to getting this pack! Great review.
The island I live on isn't exactly tropical, but it's still hot and an island and those clothes are EXACTLY what I've been needing for my sims! Ugh, they're gonna be walking around in the snow dressed like it's 30c outside. Two weeks is too long to wait for this one!
The fact that you clarify when saying "new careers" as if there are "new Koreas" gives me life Plumbella 😂
On the Island Living note this looks SO good and I'm so happy that you were so thorough with the review
Ooooh "Koreas"! I didn't know what she meant by "not the country".
Thanks for putting this up so quickly~ I hope travelling over for the announcement was a good experience for you x.
I found your channel a couple days ago and haven't wanted to watch anyone else~ I've been watching your Sarah's Story playlist.. I love your honestly, humour etc. Will hopefully catch one of your streams soon~ x
I wish they had resorts in Island Living
Love the video! Thank you for not spoiling everything like so many other sims youtubers do. Very informative and just makes me want this EP so much more!!! Gah I'm so excited!!!
Should you buy this EP?
Correct Answer: yes, but it would cost $50 so not now.
exactly!!! Waiting till it goes on sale

40 I think
island paradise has always been my favorite sims 3 pack. im beyond excited for island living you dont eVEN K N O W
I honestly feel like resorts were a way too important feature in the Sims 3 Island Paradise to just completely cut out and not replace with another big feature
I’ve been binging your videos, and this spoiler free review is what hooked me to subscribe. Loving your sims videos
Idk why im watching this since i use the cracked version because im broke but-
"The WERLD is beautiful!"
I swear you are one of my favorite people with the Sims! You know how to break stuff down for us when you do a review! I already know I need this pack!

Other than cleaning up the island, it's kind of anoying you can't turn of the Strangerville Mystery. I don't want to do the SVM in EVERY save file.

I think this is the best solver for your problem that I currently know of.
In New Zealand we also cook food in the ground. It's moari culture, the method is called a hungi.
The sims 4 team stepping up their game!! Loved the vid💕
i'm so glad that you published this video because i was debating buying this pack but now i REALLY WANT ToOoOoOoOooOoOoOo
I bet you’re excited for the Realm of Magic pack ♥️
if you think about it the thing about trash not being optional is a great thing. Not only does it help you get money, but it is a slap of reality telling you that nothing can be solved by itself and how the enviroment in our real world behaves the same (probably they didnt think about that but it would be great if they did)
All the simmers are posting content about the newest pack at the same time, so who am I going to chose to get my news from first?
Plumbella, of course! ✨💕👏👏👏
I read a Tumblr post where The Sims Team said they'll add swimming in the ocean in other worlds in the future, probs in an update/patch x
