What questions do you have about the new EP?
These are my questions:
1. How big is the world (How many lots)? Any 64x64 lots? Around 14 lots. No 64x64 lots, but there are 50x50 lots.
2. Is the ability to own multiple proprieties returning (e.g. have a regular house in another world and a vacation home in Sulani)? No.
3. Can sims swim in the ocean only in Sulani or in other worlds as well? Only in Sulani, but they are working on that for other worlds too.
4. Does the tanning system work only in Sulani or in other worlds as well? How does it interact with Seasons (I assume it wouldn't work in fall or winter in most worlds)? It works in other worlds too, but only if you have Island Living. Sims cannot sunbathe if it's cloudy.
5. Can sims build sandcastles in other worlds as well? Does it work like The Sims 3 where you can build sandcastles even if you paint the terrain with a sand texture? Only in Sulani.
6. Can floaters be used in a pool as well or just in the ocean? Yes.
7. Are diving boards, pool slides, pool bars or pool waterfalls returning? No.
8. Is the glass floor a new tool or floor texture or is it an object like the Get Together dance floors? It's a placeable object.
9. Are the ladders only for going in and out of the water or can they be used anywhere like in The Sims 3? Only for getting in and out of the water.
10. Is there a deserted island? Can sims be castaways? From the EA Play reviews, it doesn't seem like it. But there's an Off the Grid lot trait.
11. Are tanlines different depending on which clothes sims are wearing? Yes, it changes depending on what sims are wearing.
12. Is there indoor tanning as well (such as tanning beds or tanning booths)? No.
13. Will trash spawn on the island only if your sim is in the Conservationist career or will it always spawn? If it always spawns, is there a cheat to disable that? It spawns even if sims are not in the Conservationist career.
14. How is the weather in Sulani if Seasons is installed? I assume it's hot even in winter and it doesn't snow, but how often does it rain and how often do thunderstorms happen? It's tropical with hot summers and mild winters. Tropical storms can happen.
15. Are we getting coconuts and more seafood options in this pack? There are coconuts and new fish.
16. Are there hammocks? No.

Same, minus the second bit lol
My only real questions that have not been answered is the size of the world and how the suntanning feature work.
New traits?
New aspirations?
I wonder if it's going to be like strangerville and basically feel like a separate game. I'm kind of ok with that (with TS4 I feel like it would almost have to) but I don't know if I want tons of that in the future. I want worlds to feel immersive with each other.
Is that ladder part of the deck, like a pool ladder is part of a pool, or can we use it instead of stairs?
2. Are they adding sharks... ruining what should be a relaxed vibe (or... fireballs that ruin your home, or kill you... tropes)
3. What, exactly, is the ceremony thing (hopefully not sacrifice)
4. Is this going to be another (TS3) island [computer] lag issue
5. How many lots, and what sizes? (did I mention that already?
(She/her)
I think a part time job is still a larger commitment. You work just a few hours, but regularly.
Odd jobs I would expect to be my sim asking an islander if he can help out with something, getting assigned a specific task and when he is done with it he collects his pay and that was it.
OH OK I get it. This is so nice. Its very cool for a Sim that wants to enjoy life but I also hope that teens can apply.
