I love how only this expansion had more content than the entire sims 4 series and its expansions.
soooo true
The Sims 4 actually does have more content, I mean at least at this time 3 months after your comment.
Jonathan Elliott I mean... good for it? Not really a huge thing for an entire fucking game + all of its expansions to have more than a single expansion pack
nifan True quality wise but not quantity.
I don't know about quality-wise. The food stalls are useless to me as a builder. Where should I place them without me using a mod or me paying to man those stalls? Majority of the items in The Sims 4 are decor objects. Most items have little to no interaction or are only fun for the first few minutes. I honestly, don't think The Sims 4 items don't have quality, especially if you compare it to The Sims 2 (and 3) items.
This is a "lacking expansion" for sims 3, this would be like THE BIGGEST PACK EVER for sims 4 :']
Voldemort I really hope sims 5 will be better
Truer words haven't been spoken....
Its just lacking in performance imo i like the content
Leaks have come out that this is the next expansion for the Sims 4
Wow, who knew Voldemort was a Sims fan 😂
It kicks the crap outta Island Living... feeling cheated
Sims 4 worlds are SO TINY.
Ikr.All you can do really is swim in the ocean and be a mermaid.I don’t use it or barley any of the clothes unless it’s that lacy kinda bikini
At least island living works >:/
Lofty F but island paradise introduced so much that you can do even in other worlds
@@jstal3670 If the sims 4 was just the sims 3 but better graphics, it would be trash, I'm ok with island living because they explored different areas.
I already own all of these packs but I watch these reviews because they are funny as hell
+cephas It all really depends on your computer. Mine lags a little a bit
it lags here and there off and on but it is a nice game besides the fact of it lagging
One of the households in Isla Paradiso is bugged. Getting rid of them fixes the lot. Can't remember which household it was off the top of my head though.
oh i ran into 1 that has bugs the medina family house had a weird bug with kitchen floor, the Medina family is where this guy is divorced from his wife and he has custody of little girl and they live in a house that has a pool underneath it
I figured out which household was buggy becaude of the Nraas mod (i think thats what its called.) its the one that catches errors in the game.
You literally cannot compare the Island Living gameplay to Island Paradise.. the differance between what we got compared to what we get in sims 4 is staggering
Sims 3 with remastered textures and group talk options would outsell sims 4 instantly.
While I agree, I have to say that at least Island Living is not even half as buggy as Island Paradise, it's sad that this expansion pack is great but almost impossible to play. I love Isla Paradiso, tho. I'm only sad it's not working as it should.
Tokusa it works perfectly fine for me, if you delete the Scott family from the world it runs well
@@EmilyBlackEmu i play in a non gaming computer and can still play it...
Island living is a joke. It is more like a stuff pack. Not even a game pack !
this was by far the most fun sims 3 ep in my opinon. So much fun stuff to do, not to mention that I'm still shocked they gave us the scuba diving aspect with sharks and mermaids. It really makes me realize how crazy, diverse and endlessly fun the sims 3 was. I could play it for hours without getting bored. I play the sims 4 for an hour and I get bored. Such a downgrade :/
Agreed BUT it was SO glitchy. It became unplayable quickly for me due to glitches, which was too bad because i LOVED this expansion
the reason why the Sims 3 was glitchy is because they wouldn't up the system requirements, so they had a decision to make with the Sims 4. Either up the system requirements or scrap half the game. You can see what they chose. it's such a disappointment because the technology today could really handle an open world Sims game, but EA really gave us the finger.
I still play the sims 3 because the sims 4 was full of loading screens as far as i remember without the map view like in TS3
@@mirandataylor6385 Yet, sims 4 did up the game requirements. And we're still getting less gameplay. How fun.
I finally made the switch to sims 3. I have every single expansion and pack for 4, yet I get bored in an hour. I thought 3 would be the same and I was just reminiscing on the nostalgia. Once I got past the graphics, I realized how insanely better it is than 4. It may not be as pretty but I can play it for hours and hours
Anyone else watching this in 2019 right after island living got announced?
i was watching this
I'm checking this channel every day to see if I just missed the notification for his review :(
Me!!! haha.
No. I am, however, watching it in 2019 after playing Island Living.
the content in this is AMAZING!
Shame that I can't play 10 minutes of this world without 7 of those minutes being the frozen game world.
+Jake McIntyre same. :/
+Miguel Furlan de Avila Delet all the House boad Families, acept for one or two, you defenetly need. Than the game should be okey :)
i had that problem with seasons just play it with other stuff packs or re-download the game
This actually helps a great deal.
Vanilla Ice get master controller, overwatch, and error trap mods, the might help with the lag
"take me down to paradise city when the grass is green and girls are passible." LMAO
lol i know right!
Tajana Ruźa Pegrum Ikr. I love the reference to the song
The freezing happens because of all the badly built houses and households in the town, they have routing issues and sims that live there get stuck and it freezes your game.
All you have to do is go to edit town and delete the houses of the following households;
Icatcha, Scott, Los Amigos, Medina. If it still lags, delete the following as well,: The romantic, the Prince.
You can move the sims who lived there somewhere else or just delete them if you don’t care, but make sure their houses/households are deleted
Mine worked fine after this
Thanks!
You’re a life saver
Wow ! Thanks !!!
I’d I add a new house with no custom content to those families you listed , will it get glitchy again?
@@biancafranco4857 how was it?
Such a shame that this is the most broken expansion and was never fixed
ikr
And it's features looks sooo promising
Is it still broken ? :/
I have this, and it's never crashed.. ...
Ony Agnesatia Damn- I'm jealous. Your computer must be pretty great if it can handle this expansion pack
"You wonder if this is Bejing's atmosphere on vacation" I'm dying😂😂😂
Same! XD
So is everyone in Bejing, dang polution..
Maarten van Poelgeest that killed me
forever missing the days they cared a little
EA has left the server :3
probably because it was still 'Maxis'
I loved seeing their logo you just knew that studio cared
*cough* Star wars *cough*
Is that a boat in your pocket or are you just happy to see me?
*****
League?
You have a golden voice.
Brock Butler I want a nature documentary voiced by this guy
Key2Karaoke
You're not the only one lmao
I want Mein Kempf voiced my this guy
i hate it
Kraken? Actual underwater places to dive in? Hidden islands? Sims 4 could never.
Re watching this makes me remember how much cooler sims 3 is than sims 4. If only i could get over those out-dated graphics.
Aren't you ment to be killing muggels?
funny that you think the sims 4 has non out dated graphics
Princess Zelda it’s has the best graphics out of all of the sims games...
@@user-bj3wu5cq4p in a way, but its no where near anything impressive for its time
Exactly
This expansion pack is absolutely gorgeous. My favorite expansion pack by far. It's insanely stunning and immersive. Cannot recommend it more.
I have sims 3 supernatural, do u think I should get this one to then? Is it worth it? :)
Caitlin Hall YES YES YES!! It's so beautiful.
OK :D
Cool :D
+Caitlin Hall i know your comment is old, but I just want to say that my 2 favourites EP are supernatural and island paradise
Only after a few hours after announment of Island Living it showed in my notifications 😂
sims 3 might be buggy, laggy and crash a lot, but it still offers so much more content in each dlc than sims 4 and I gotta apreciate that
Just imagine if they would've upped the gameplay requirements. Would be the perfect game. Sims 4 has it's good sides WITH mods, but sims 3 wins overall with all the gameplay we get for our money
Honestly, my sims 4 crashes and is way more laggy than sims 3 :/
I have zero technical problems with Sims 3. I really don't get these comments :/
Concept: Sims team created Sims 4 and all following additions to lower our expectations so when Sims 5 comes out we don't complain.
At this point I wouldn't be surprised.
Sounds like an abuse tactic.
How low it can get?..
Oh I love your Reviews, you have such a nice voice and your Humor is very cool . I love listen to your voice cause it make a nice atnosphere. I love it. thank you really much
I'm glad you're enjoying!
Yaaas!!!!
+Irvoni Cofield that's into the future
Jasmin Davis his sense of humor is my favorite. The delivery is the best. He sets up the joke and you kinda figure it out or it's just such a chill dad joke you didn't see coming you cant help but smile at least a little but
I combined this with the Supernatural expansion and made a ghost sim that died while diving and I'm trying to max his diving skill. Anybody find that ironic?
Watching this after your Sims 4 review for the latest expansion pack and, man...might have to go back to the sims 3.
For real.
Me too... :D
I finally made the switch and it reignited my love of the sims. I hadn’t played the game in months. Switched to 3 and now it’s what I look forward to after class
there's a couple of things sims 4 did better than sims 3(duh they should have done everything better instead of just a couple)
but sims 3 did so many thing better than sims 4, the only problem with it was that the game was badly optimized and that was only because it was a massive game.
@@xXkatiegoesRaWrXx omg same
i binge watch these reviews uncomfortably often. something about them is so soothing.
Same!
I come back here occasionally for the nostalgia, to read all the comments talking shit about The Sims 4 and to take part in talking shit about The Sims 4 which is infinitely more fun than The Sims 4.
That’s it, tonight I’m pouring myself a bottle of wine and playing S3. It’s been too long. I’m going to discover all those islands again and building a real estate empire. S4 is just not doing it for me.
so, how was it? lol
The Sims 3: A pretty great fully inclusive Island pack
The Sims 4: What if we remade Island Paradise but worse?
I read that as "fully functioning" at first and I was gonna ask how, haha
6:33 Beijing's atmosphere, lmao
Beijings atmosphere taking a vacation omfg
I love this expansion pack, but it hated my computer..
I have a nice gaming computer and it was a pain in the ass to play, the lag was similar to living in that Late Night City.
Pretty annoying
late night isnt laggy for me well i feel bad
My computer cost about 2000€. It's a laptop and it's obviously not made for gaming. It runs Isla Paradiso and Bridgeport fine.
+Rosa I'm not sure how you ended up paying that much for a non-gaming laptop, but it's probably an older and better optimized card.
+Rosa Kytölä that's probably why it's a 2000€
Hi, there is a fixed for this. but i also think that adding RAM. will fixed the game or reduce some lag. but I could be wrong. at least LGR is playing it without much lag. I also notice pets expansion will cause lag in this map. but the latest updates allows you to temporary disable any expansions you don't wanna used. and it seems that it's working for my crappy pc.
Wow they have so many unnecessary whoohooing spots, lol.
+Dan Slash theres actually an aspiration that says to woohoo in 5 different spots
I've got -69/5 so far.
+Pandi Chan lol
No. Anywhere you can woohoo is the best place to woohoo. We should woohoo on the ground
Who needs to woohoo in a bed anyways?
This expansion might have crashed a lot but it does have way more to do and feels more like a expansion than the sims 4 island living
Agreed. The Sims 3 had technical issues, some aesteic issues, and not all simmers could play it but look at the new ideas here. The Sims 4 has cool ideas but I can't help but feel frustrated with it.
I don’t care what anybody else says, the sims 3 will ALWAYS be better then the sims 4. Ts4 will never live up to be better
This is on sale for $10 at Origin. Just grabbed it :)
+Friedrich von Krauss I have the laggiest pc for sims 3, Downloaded this ep and now it's Lagg free hehe. idek why but it's AWSOME :)
***** we are like abominations of sims hehe I was dreading downloading this pack as my game is super leggy... Not anymore! 😀 0 crashes, 0 Lagg etc. It's amazing!
Okaaaay I went back and watched this review again after getting bored with TS4 island living and realised I've never tried building or running a resort in sims 3 b4 lol...
Island living is nothing compared to this. I haven't got this lack yet but I going to as it fairly cheap now.
Anyone watching this video after dissapointed of TS4 Island Living? Yeah. :')
Yeah 😭
Yeah.. lgr is the only sims reviewer that's honest. All the really popular ones are saying how much better island living is. Bunch of brown nosers
@@marybeyup19 they get freebies from EA, that's why.
anyone else just come back and rewatch all of LGR's review vidoes?? God i miss the age of The Sims 3 T_T
It's wierd seeing this after sims 4 Island living is out.. Lol why didn't they let us go under water. Idiots
I can’t wait for him to review sims 4 island living but I wish that there was house bouts and hotels in the sims 4
yup, I wonder when there'll be a pack called "resorts", also don't forget "resort stuff"
8:18 “There’s really not a whole lot here.” What???!!
Anyone watching this after island living was announced🤐
I remember being so excited to play with this pack. Little did I know it was going to be the thing that made Sims 3 unplayable. I’ve reinstalled all my Sims 3 games on my new laptop.. all but Island Paradise. No way am I risking it just to live on the ocean.
The Guns N Roses reference kills me even to this day
yes
Riri IKR
IF YOU WANT YOUR GAME TO RUN BETTER WITH THIS EXPANSION, DOWNLOAD NRAAS OVERWATCH IF YOU HAVENT ALREADY! IT DOESNT AFFECT GAMEPLAY BUT IT RUNS SMOOTHER
Also, get the fixed world on Mod the Sims!
I don't do mods, but these may work:
Delete the Scott family, and then do testingcheatsenabled true, then do resetsim *. If this does not work, then you can try DiscoverAllUnchartedIslands
God I love the dry humour in this
Loving the irony of "dry" humor, considering the theme of this expansion pack ;)
Heh
the only thing i don't like about this expansion pack is that at times it it lags and freezes up some here and there
*I will never get tired of watching these*
Pure brilliance is what would happen.
But yeah, I meant to mention this could have a very cool Dead Island/Isle of the Dead thing going on with it without too much hassle. And it would be glorious. There are zombies in the game already, after all :D
If this expansion worked like it was suppose to this would honestly be the best expansion pack
Yeah, I really wanted island living for TS4 until I was reminded by watching this that Island Paradise has MUCH more to offer! The only things I wish it had are CAS mermaid creation and maybe dolphins, but that's it. Don't get me wrong, I do love TS4, but its packs just don't fill me with the same degree of sheer excitement and bliss I experienced when a new TS3 pack was announced.
Some idiot Well, there's a lot I enjoy in TS4. There are things that streamline the game process, like the search bar which can be handy. Also, it does tend to run better on my PC. I'm also, I guess, a minority in that I like the visual asthetic. There are also some things we have in TS4 that I have fun with, like the improved vampires, the get to work pack, etc.
Still, with all there is to love, the packs just don't seem as expansive as TS3. Maybe it's more I've gotten older and interests have shifted, I don't quite know. Still, I got on TS3 for the first time in AGES last night and it was wonderful!
I think you can create a mermaid in cas in the ts3
dani sofia hmmm... I think you can only edit mermaids in CAS once your sim becomes one. It would have been nice if they'd added them fully to CAS like most other supernaturals like ghosts, genies, etc who aren't even from the supernatural pack.
I'm quite late but I am reading that many people have or had problems with this expansion & it's performance.
You have to delete the Scott family, since it causes many bugs. The nraas traffic mods also helps when you disable all the ubers / boat ubers which aren't actually used. Also disabling one or all ice cream trucks / food trucks helps alot :) & of course turning on vsync in your nvidia settings for sims 3 helps in general
Or have a lease a medium range gaming PC or laptop
I really liked Island Paradise since the map is just stunning. Run Nraas mods to get rid of the bugs!
Where and how to get Nrass? Do you know a video title I can search please
tbh the best thing about being a mermaid (especially an evil one) is that you can actually get sharks to attack people :P
I went back here since Island Living is coming, but oh man! Island Paradise has much to offer!
Watching this after watching the more recent Island Living review and it is appalling how much more content this has in comparison. All this expansion really needed was more time in the oven to iron out bugs and lag causes. Luckily modders have done just that. TS3 was truly the peak.
Indeed I did! I lived in Castries, up on The Morne there. Though I also spent some time in Vieux Fort and other areas, of course. Am actually a citizen of the country as my mother was born there, and man do I miss it.
"It was lacking"
*laughs in sims 4*
I am so glad we all agree on that
I made a pirate crew and I had the following people. A Secret agent named Jackson m'k boil. A Artist by the name of Jessie flabiel. The time traveler for the future pack thing. the Lama from university and death.... The crew did not last long we ran out of cash and food and all starved. well death lived.
xD well of course Death lived he cant die, lol that would be the best crew ever
Dave Norton THAT WINS A EMMY FOR BEST STORYLINE
The codes from my store are sent via email and activate online, so there is no disc of any kind required. In the case of The Sims 3 games, the code is activated through Origin, so you'll need that installed to play. This is described on the store pages for each game.
Your voice definitely make these videos 10x better
Absolutely! Look for it a day or two after the pack releases.
You people scared me when you said the map lagged and froze a lot but for me... Not at all glad I got it (I have no mods) all expansions
I didn’t know there was a kraken in that game. 🤦🏾♀️ I’m learning so much from these videos.
So it's basically Open for Business and Bon Voyage in one expansion?
If you have a problem with getting Isla Paradiso to work for you, there's a fix I found. It worked for me, but it may not for you. It's worth a shot though.
Got to the world editor after you start a new game on Isla Paradiso, then:
-Remove Ictacha family and lot
-Remove Scott family and lot
-Remove Medina family and lot
-Remove Los Amigos family and lot
-Remove The Prince family and lot
-Remove The Romantic family and lot
-Remove Hobart's Hideaway lot
I would not recommend putting these families back into the world, though you can. Only the Ictacha worked for me when I put them in a different lot. I'm not sure what exactly the problem is with these lots and families, but they're broken.
All the information you seek is listed on the page of the games sold. But in case you missed it: no, they're for PC, and no, they're digital downloads for the Origin service.
As for getting more stock, I don't control that so I don't know. All I am is an affiliate of the store, I have nothing to do with running it. The differences between the versions were explained in this video at 07:22 (it's just a bit more content)
Vacations packs:
The Sims 1 Vacation
The Sims 2 Bon Voyage

Anyone watching this now that the sims 4 island living expansion has been released?!
im playing ts4 and i think im going back to ts3
Mikael Larsson I been going playing ts3 as well. Sometimes I even want to play sims2 ultimate edition.
I did because my computer doesn't support the sims 4 but I like the sims 3 better
+LynzSimmer Your gonna have problems.
jesseoblog Your already have problems. :P Sims 4 is still buggy and lacks gameplay. Ea CEO don't care about the fans.
+james64468 I know but it runs perfect on low systems so sims 3 would not run well.
Hahaha "for people who say jaaa and yemaaan"
😂😂😂😂😂
@@camrieya wait a minute flying car oasis landing the future car can floating in water
nOt to flex but island paradise runs extremely smooth for me even tho my laptop is not meant for gaming at all B)
"not to flex" if you say that you are trying to flex
Mines quite different, i got used to the lag and mini freezes that i don't even notice it anymore, thats one way of "fixing" this problem that never got solved.
hey you, I'm thinking of buying a laptop. I want this pack and the others to run smoothly unlike my current desktop. Can you give me the model of your laptop? that would help alot!
@@refiaatmaca3008 just search the web you may get better options :)
Whoa whoa whoa. I just found your channel and damn I live in st.lucia ! :D
Excellent!
Lazy Game Reviews Why did you live on the island?
cant wait to see the difference between this and island living
Yeah, those lacking features in the Sims 4 are gonna be lit. Can't wait.
Certainly, glad you're finding it useful, and thanks for the support!
I am so happy I found your reviews! They are super helpful and funny as hell! Thanks!
Do you want a life at university? Get University Life. Do you want to live on an island that's also a paradise? Get Island Paradise.
Really is up to your preferences, as they're both awesome.
Don’t mind me just revisiting my childhood:)
GOD I WANNA GO BACK SO BADDDDD!
*sees people complaining about the lag, does research on how to fix the lag, buys it while being aware of it and finds out u can get it less laggier by evicting the scott & the houseboat households and also has the nrass overwatcher mod*
@LGR Waiting for your Island Living review.
lmaoo that yeh mon part was funny, since im Jamaican myself
Logan Brown I found it funny too and the surfer dude accent. I'm not Jamaican but I've been there I was at ocho rio and the Cayman Islands on a cruise ship and they were both verrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrry beautiful
Sims 4 tropical pack may have been leaked. Came back here immediatly to reminisce when sims actually added content with each expansion.
I just found your videos and omg, your Sims 3 reviews are hilarious and actually helpful, but mostly funny, love them xD
This is helpful~ My sister just gave me her copy of Island Paradise, and I tried playing it last night, as I adore Sims, but I got confused early, with the boat houses, finding mermaids and everything. So this is very helpful! Thanks!
*Sims 4 has left the chat*
As they should
my pc from 2010 couldn't handle the sims 3, but now my new computer runs this EP good now :')
Rewatching these old reviews reminds me there's a whole bunch of content from Sims 3 I never even touched on before moving to Sims 4. I had this pack but never tried scuba diving.
I miss sims 3 :/
It had unicorns
You have the greatest channel on youtube. So entertaining. Keep on keeping on you amazing human being!
I don't know how much of this "Island Paradise is laggy" is personal experience and how much is gathered from general opinion. Island Paradise, even though it has routing issues, runs great if you have Nraas Overwatch & ErrorTrap installed. I used to play it all the time on my old laptop (it was bought in 2010 at a rather cheap price at that time so no great performance there) along with LN, Seasons, Pets, WA and Gen. I even had script-modifying-mods that altered the behavior of everyone, not only my household; and lots of CC. Still could have open school in the world, all kinds of businesses & store content and play for multiple generations. All you need to do is to keep a close watch on your game folders, clean them up once in a while and enjoy the gameplay. Moreover, a version with those issues fixed can be found at MTS, although I never used it.
I got recommended island living... refreshed and get recommended a superior pack
Mermaids? I'm sold!
Wow this one has much more cool stuff than Sims 4 Island living including a fricken Kraken!
I like island paradise that’s the first pack I’m keeping
I don't use Windows at all, it's a recording of an original IBM 5150 PC's monochrome monitor. Used a chroma key effect to remove the black.
A new thing added to sims 3 is you can buy additional lots, so if you want your sims to vacation there buy the island/lot. I am getting this expansion for Christmas so I am very excited!!
anyone else got this recommended after island living announcement?
Why does the Sims 4 Island Living feel so empty compared to this? The only thing I was excited about from that pack was going to the beach and open swimming, both features that should've been in the base game and shipped to every other Sims 4 world.
I love your reviews, doesnt make me fall asleep, ty :)
Aw, I wish that they had kept the sea monster and deep sea diving for the Sims 4 edition.
