My sims need a vacation, so I've been considering getting the Island Adventures pack or Snowy escape? Which do you other players think is worth the bucks?

Island living has trash clean up
I enjoy both packs, I vacation in Sulani more but I love the beach. Both packs have a lot to offer. I don't think there is a wrong answer.
I rarely send my sims to Mt. Komrebi ( Snowy Escape ). Though there are a few sims I have sent ther on vacation, you can hike, ski, and snow board, and there are a few festivals, not as good of ones as city living I donโt think though. There is some good winter CAS in the pack. Iโm disappointed you canโt ski, snowboard and rock climb outside of the world though. There is a also a little Simmie collection in a vending machine, along with a hot and a cold vending machine,
I do think both packs are fun to play though, b/b and cas both have useful things and they mix pretty nice together for the anime beach vacation episode
if choice must be made probably would think where my sims live normally and go opposite destination
say your sim lives in oasis springs mt.komorebi would probably feel more like vacation and if they live in say Forgotten Hollow then beach would certainly be something different

One difference that stands out to me is the Island has more collectables and fishing spots than Snowy Escape, so is more often used for a starter home. An exception to this is the Globetrotter Challenge which starts in Snowy Escape
Another difference is that the festivals in Snowy Escape are better. Sundays are the Festival of youth and add some much needed gameplay for children.
Haha I do that too
But for me, IL, with all it's "faults", or missing opportunities is the one to go from these 2 packs, I use the world and stuff from it all the time.

Island Living on the other hand, I have greatly enjoyed. For one I love to take my families on vacation there, and just have fun on the beach, but I also greatly enjoyed living there. I love the career, and if you work from home it's like an active career, and the communal events feel natural and inclusive, like having a bbq together, the family fun day at the beach and the pot luck night where everyone brings food. I also love that people come over in a new way, bringing left overs after dinner when they do. I also found myself using the lots almost nothing at all, but the natural beaches and communal areas a lot which meant no loading screens unless you leave the neighborhood which suited me well. I could have one sim snorkeling, another one in the house doing something and a third building sand castles on the beach with the toddler.
Thatโs a great idea ๐ก๐๐.
Now consider Island living. You can set up a vacation lot there. The neighborhood amenities are amazing, which makes it a great place to live. You can also hang out at one of the beaches after school or on the weekend for a few hours and have fun in the sand or the water. The winter sports amenities in Snowy Escape involve quite a bit of getting in line, so it's not really worth visiting if you only want to spend a few sim hours. As for careers, the marine biologist career basically involves going scuba diving for a living (really cool if you go into first person mode-I got side swiped by a dolphin). Also you take jobs on a gig app. A good choice for a non-committal sim, or if you like a flexible schedule. If your sim gets a high enough rating on the app, they can be offered really lucrative gigs.
