      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 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

    • @mirandataylor6385
      @mirandataylor6385 5 ปีที่แล้ว +61

      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 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

    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

    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.

    • @MagicalAuroraDream
      @MagicalAuroraDream 5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      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!

      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

    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.

    I love Pets (especially if you want horses) and Ambitions is really nice for non-Rabbit-hole jobs. Island Paradise is great for that tropical feel. Seasons and University are also very nice (and Uni adds additional trait slots.) Personally I love Supernatural, but it's least on the realism scale. Showtime pairs nicely with Late Night, IMHO, and the professions are unique. Btw, most of these can be bought with the Base game in the various Plus packages. Note: Origin has sales often, if you wait.

    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'm late to the party.....I have had the EP for years, but never knew about all it can do. Thanks, now I can feel like I have a new game.
