    I have a strange feeling based on the description that we wont get swimming, I feel like it would have been mentioned along with hotels if we were getting them features. If we don't get them it will be hilarious to have a piping hot tropical island and not be able to cool off with a dip in the pool :lol:

    That's assuming the description is the official one

    "lifestyle surrounded by beaches" leaves me feeling concerned. No mention of water anywhere.

    Glad you guys got a leak you can possibly believe. But the EP name seems to suggest there is something special about living on an island. Wonder what that would be?

    How is is going to be any different than living in any other world in TS4?

    That seems to be the point of the name (if that is even the real name of it).

    If that isn't the real name then no point in me speculating what that means, lol.

    Hey, Maxis, how is it different? or better? or more exciting? Volcano? Bad tropical storms? Why is it named that and what does it mean to gameplay to call it Island Living? What happens there that can't happen anywhere else?

    Do any of you agree with me by calling it Island Living (if that's the real name) it suggests it's different type of living than anywhere else?

    I was hoping for university, because it could totally change careers as we see them, but I am excited for a tropical/island related pack, (I think we can assume by now it is most definitely a tropical pack). I just hope that we have hotels/resorts, and bring in more entrepreneurship opportunities. I would like a world that you can live in, but doubles up as a vacation world. New Skills such as: Surfing, along with additions to previous skills to incorporate: Hula Dancing, Beach Sports, Tropic cocktails. A boardwalk would be amazing too! I just hope it is big, and brings something new, because as an expansion pack I have higher standards.

    I hope they give us an option to take a vacation there though! as well as living there!

    Perhaps we get "hotel" as a new lot type and can take vacations in every world.

    I would LOVE this! And I hope our sims can own/run the hotels, too, in addition to other families visiting them as tourists.

    I’m going to wait and see what is revealed at EA Play before I’m disappointed in what a game lacks based off of a two sentence, unconfirmed description.

    There's a sale on Sims 3 and 4 DLC right now until the 20th: https://www.reddit.com/r/thesims/comments/bxjqj9/there_is_a_sale_on_sims_4_and_on_sims_3_ending/

    Just enough time before the next pack drops on the 21st? 🤔

    It seems like some people are eager to hate things before they are even revealed and released to the public . Yikes! :D

    @catloverplayer The Game Changers living close to EA's main studio have seen the expansion during it's development, you can count on that. They play the EP to see if they encounter bugs, they offer input based on what their viewers want to see in future packs, and they are sworn to secrecy about everything they have seen. LOL Tomorrow might be the first time some of the Game Changers actually experience the EP, but I'm pretty sure they have known about it for months. Part of the reason for being a Game Changer is to give EA and the teams feedback on new packs and what they believe their viewers want, and they can't do that unless they know what is coming next.

    They're so careful with the description, nothing says about ocean swimming or water sports and games.

    The only thing is, if there's no ocean swimming, then why bother making it an expansion pack? Just a new tropical themed world in and of itself is not enough to make something an expansion pack rather than a game pack.

    Even with ocean swimming I find it very incomplete.

    How so? Do you know something we don't? :)

    of course not. I'm replying to the usual speculation about beach activities and swimming that me and you and everyone read everyday in the forums. Meaning, beach activities and ocean swimming seems too incomplete to me for an EP.

    well yes, but that's the thing, if all there is, is a tropical themed residential world, then I doubt it'd be an expansion pack. So I'm guessing there has to be something more to it than just, above and beyond the ocean swimming.

    I’d hope we get Ocean Swimming.
    I hope we get some cliff lots.
    And the weather is different. More heatwaves. More needs for Aircon.
    I also hope we have a ton of water activities.

    That’s probably my most major concerns interms of living on the island.

    Agree 100%. I can't believe in the idea of a tropical world with tropical activities to be everything in a EP...
