New Expansion Pack: Island Living! Now Confirmed!

Post by Salem »

So, while most of the time I buy my packs directly from Origin when they're on sale, sometimes I like to take a look on a couple third partie sites where I can find them a little cheaper. Today I was doing jut this, just looking at the offerts, and I found this:

I've heard we're gonna have a new pack anounced probably on June 8th, or maybe a little later, so I found this really interesting. Do you think we're gonna really get a beach-island pack? Or maybe this is just a coincidence/guess from the site?

Re: New Expansion Pack: Island Paradise? (Rumour)

Post by 108sims »

I definitely wouldn’t mind having an island vacation destination pack, so I’d be happy if the rumor was true. A friend of mine gets her simming news from a site called Sims Community (?), not sure if that’s the exact title. Anyway, she also mentioned an island pack rumor. It will be interesting to see what kind of pack we really end up with. I personally think it’s too big of a coincidence that they’re supposed to make an announcement about a new pack, and the island pack is showing up on the site you checked. I suppose you never know with EA.

I've never got to play Sims 3, but I've heard a lot of good things about its Island pack, so I'm pretty in board with having one in Sims 4!
It seems like it's fairly likely that it could be true, we'll hace to wait until the official news drops :D

That's the rumor I've been seeing, too. I'm not really one for the destination packs, but I do like seeing what they bring to the table, and even if I don't have them in my game I do like seeing how other simmers utilize them. So I'm looking forward to finding out more about Island Paradise!

Confirmed today! Island Living! The trailer looks cute; so glad they've brought back Jet Skis! The trailer showed sims cleaning up beaches, as well as MERMAIDS!?!?!?!?!

I'm guessing from the "living" part of the title that it won't be a destination pack and will be a map something like Isla Paradiso or Sunlit Tides? With one or two 'main' islands and then some little ones? Or maybe that's just me dreaming, because I will absolutely adore this pack if that's the case.

I just watched the trailer! It does look like it's gonna be a living-town instead of a vacation one! It looks really pretty and I love how they were cleaning the beach!
And also: mermaids!! I've never played with mermaids because I skipped sims 3, but I was expecting for EA to add them for years now!
I also love that new hairstyle the mermaid was sporting! I love how thay have been adding more and more curly hairstyles

I am so excited for the mermaids, and dolphins too! My sims may being living in that world a lot more often. I love that they’re adding more curly hairstyles too. I enjoy having more cc free options for my sims.

It honestly looks so much fun! The new clothes and hair look really cute, as does the furniture shown in the trailer. I don't want to get my hopes up too much because, you know, this is EA, but it's hard! It looks like there's over-water foundation/stilts coming, though it's still unknown if we can control that? I'd have thought so - it was a feature in TS3 that was released with Island Paradise, so getting it with this pack seems reasonable, right?

In one of the CAS clips there was a trait randomiser button, and there's also a 'Realm of Magic' game pack coming later in the year, which I'm equally excited to hear more about.

Just saw a couple gameplay videos this morning, did you noticed we're apparently also getting new eyes?! they look pretty fantasy-like, probably meant for the mermaids, and I love them!

Also yeah there seems to be a randomize button on cas! I hope it also comes in the birthday windows wgen aging up

We are!! I've watched a few new videos; the world looks absolutely gorgeous, and the new build/buy mods items!? Holy mama, this pack looks huge!

It looks like there's gonna be an update to the base game for some of the details (like building over water and swimming in the ocean maybe?) like there was for TS3 when IP released. This pack is truly bringing me everything I've ever wanted, and I might just end up really and truly falling in love with TS4.

I am SO ready for that randomiser button, and I definitely agree with you - I really hope it's there!

I haven't seen any of the gameplay videos yet, but I watched Deligracy's CAS video and was basically swooning, especially over the female hair and clothing options. There were so many things that I'd been wanting in my game! I'm still not super invested in the idea of adding beach life to my game, but for those CAS items... I'm definitely considering getting this at some point.

I have it but have been trying to move my EPIC to one of the 50x50 so I haven't had a chance to play yet. But after breakfast, I have all day.

I'm probably gonna have to wait until it goes on sale to get it xD $40 is kind of a lot of money in my country so unless my sister goes on a sims-shopping spree where she doedn't care again, we're waiting for the 50% off xD

I'm already in love with a lot of the CAS and Build mode ítems though, that new bed is gorgeous! And I love every one of the new hairstyles! I hope you have a lot of fun with it! ;)
