Lol, but really rabbit holes always existed and will exist. Take careers for instance (since they have the behavior of one). When you cannot open it up, it's best to leave a rabbit hole. Of course, If they're mediocore than nothing is gonna come out of it (figurative and not pun intended; uninteresting I meant to say it).

I wouldn't want everything to be rabbithole based obviously, but that's exactly what I'm getting at with the career rabbitholes at least. Going through the monotony of daily working life for every sim every day wouldn't be fun, so rabbitholes in that instance are fine to me. Forces you to use your imagination as to what they are doing. I loved TS2 chance cards just for that reason.

Even with active careers, same thing. It's not something you want for every situation, but it's a nice option to have. But I'd obviously prefer Ambitions-style than GTW.

I think all careers should have some kind of interactive element to them, while also being rabbit holes.

That’s asking for too much, though. I know their limits.

Chance cards? Or maybe an occasional field task (like Police investigations) that takes them to a random lot?



I would say a rough layout is figured out, and then terrain comes first as it's essentially sculpted like TS3. The lot layout and ocean objects are then added, and finally the world gets progressively painted and populated with objects as they're made by the modelling team (and whatever outside studio which they've outsourced to), generally going from largest objects to the smallest ones.

Personally, I don't know how they managed to make the water a mess to create- wasn't the basic engine based off of TS3's?

Yo I got a question. Are the beaches in the other worlds like Brindleton swimmable or just the ones in the new world?

So you think the water is just a surface and has no bottom or sides?

Wouldn't you think islands needs sculpting and water is basically just flat with displacement or just bump probably.



To Be Continued :p

Oh, good, it's not just me. I have to MC Command Centre force them to leave. Using the base game socials does nothing. They sleep in my beds, they eat my food, they take out my trash.... And they WON'T LEAVE!

Only in Sulani.

My first impression is, they can't make all the good Expansion/Game packs at first and then the bad ones, because the enthusiasm and sales would fall off.
Now My sim is gonna go pick up beach trash, because I guess that's fun.

It gets worse.

So not only does this pack suffer from the worst gameplay, it also is amongst the worst for CAS + Build mode items on offer. Big surprise Vampires remains God-Tier both for gameplay AND build mode objects, including better items-to-money-spent ratio than Island Living despite being a Game Pack.

For me it seems like this is easily the worst expansion pack of all time within the Sims franchise, which is impressive, because I thought City Living and Cats and Dogs were bad...

Oh and spoilers: Stuff packs remain a blatant rip-off and aren't ever worth the price.

Wait a minute, Cats & Dogs has A+ build and buy...

Has anyone else experienced sims leaving footprints indoors? Cuz that's been happening a lot now XD

These bugs just get funnier lol

Stilted foundations don’t have roofs, footprints indoor, next you’ll tell me that oceans are just pools.

Controversial opinion, I really liked Get Together, I use the map and club system all the time. I really enjoyed seeing streamers abuse the club system in their videos.

That said, I don't see any reason why I'd ever buy Island Living. I'm not interested in the vacation packs, and mermaids aren't my thing. All the reviews I'm reading say it lacks any real gameplay, and I haven't enjoyed watching streamers play it.
