Jonathan Elliott I mean... good for it? Not really a huge thing for an entire fucking game + all of its expansions to have more than a single expansion pack
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 :/
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
One of the households in Isla Paradiso is bugged. Getting rid of them fixes the lot. Can't remember which household it was off the top of my head though.
oh i ran into 1 that has bugs the medina family house had a weird bug with kitchen floor, the Medina family is where this guy is divorced from his wife and he has custody of little girl and they live in a house that has a pool underneath it
You literally cannot compare the Island Living gameplay to Island Paradise.. the differance between what we got compared to what we get in sims 4 is staggering
While I agree, I have to say that at least Island Living is not even half as buggy as Island Paradise, it's sad that this expansion pack is great but almost impossible to play. I love Isla Paradiso, tho. I'm only sad it's not working as it should.
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 Mine worked fine after this
I combined this with the Supernatural expansion and made a ghost sim that died while diving and I'm trying to max his diving skill. Anybody find that ironic?
I finally made the switch and it reignited my love of the sims. I hadn’t played the game in months. Switched to 3 and now it’s what I look forward to after class
there's a couple of things sims 4 did better than sims 3(duh they should have done everything better instead of just a couple) but sims 3 did so many thing better than sims 4, the only problem with it was that the game was badly optimized and that was only because it was a massive game.
Just imagine if they would've upped the gameplay requirements. Would be the perfect game. Sims 4 has it's good sides WITH mods, but sims 3 wins overall with all the gameplay we get for our money
Oh I love your Reviews, you have such a nice voice and your Humor is very cool . I love listen to your voice cause it make a nice atnosphere. I love it. thank you really much
Jasmin Davis his sense of humor is my favorite. The delivery is the best. He sets up the joke and you kinda figure it out or it's just such a chill dad joke you didn't see coming you cant help but smile at least a little but
I come back here occasionally for the nostalgia, to read all the comments talking shit about The Sims 4 and to take part in talking shit about The Sims 4 which is infinitely more fun than The Sims 4.
That’s it, tonight I’m pouring myself a bottle of wine and playing S3. It’s been too long. I’m going to discover all those islands again and building a real estate empire. S4 is just not doing it for me.
IF YOU WANT YOUR GAME TO RUN BETTER WITH THIS EXPANSION, DOWNLOAD NRAAS OVERWATCH IF YOU HAVENT ALREADY! IT DOESNT AFFECT GAMEPLAY BUT IT RUNS SMOOTHER
I don't do mods, but these may work: Delete the Scott family, and then do testingcheatsenabled true, then do resetsim *. If this does not work, then you can try DiscoverAllUnchartedIslands
I love this expansion pack, but it hated my computer.. I have a nice gaming computer and it was a pain in the ass to play, the lag was similar to living in that Late Night City. Pretty annoying
Hi, there is a fixed for this. but i also think that adding RAM. will fixed the game or reduce some lag. but I could be wrong. at least LGR is playing it without much lag. I also notice pets expansion will cause lag in this map. but the latest updates allows you to temporary disable any expansions you don't wanna used. and it seems that it's working for my crappy pc.
Agreed. The Sims 3 had technical issues, some aesteic issues, and not all simmers could play it but look at the new ideas here. The Sims 4 has cool ideas but I can't help but feel frustrated with it.
***** we are like abominations of sims hehe I was dreading downloading this pack as my game is super leggy... Not anymore! 😀 0 crashes, 0 Lagg etc. It's amazing!
Okaaaay I went back and watched this review again after getting bored with TS4 island living and realised I've never tried building or running a resort in sims 3 b4 lol...
Vacations packs: The Sims 1 Vacation The Sims 2 Bon Voyage The Sims 3 World Adventures The Sims 3 Island Paradise The Sims 4 Outdoor Retreat The Sims 4 Jungle Adventure The Sims 4 Journey to Batuu The Sims 4 Snowy Escape
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
I remember being so excited to play with this pack. Little did I know it was going to be the thing that made Sims 3 unplayable. I’ve reinstalled all my Sims 3 games on my new laptop.. all but Island Paradise. No way am I risking it just to live on the ocean.
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.
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 made a pirate crew and I had the following people. A Secret agent named Jackson m'k boil. A Artist by the name of Jessie flabiel. The time traveler for the future pack thing. the Lama from university and death.... The crew did not last long we ran out of cash and food and all starved. well death lived.
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.
Watching this after watching the more recent Island Living review and it is appalling how much more content this has in comparison. All this expansion really needed was more time in the oven to iron out bugs and lag causes. Luckily modders have done just that. TS3 was truly the peak.
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.
Mines quite different, i got used to the lag and mini freezes that i don't even notice it anymore, thats one way of "fixing" this problem that never got solved.
hey you, I'm thinking of buying a laptop. I want this pack and the others to run smoothly unlike my current desktop. Can you give me the model of your laptop? that would help alot!
*sees people complaining about the lag, does research on how to fix the lag, buys it while being aware of it and finds out u can get it less laggier by evicting the scott & the houseboat households and also has the nrass overwatcher mod*
Pure brilliance is what would happen. But yeah, I meant to mention this could have a very cool Dead Island/Isle of the Dead thing going on with it without too much hassle. And it would be glorious. There are zombies in the game already, after all :D
This is helpful~ My sister just gave me her copy of Island Paradise, and I tried playing it last night, as I adore Sims, but I got confused early, with the boat houses, finding mermaids and everything. So this is very helpful! Thanks!
Why does the Sims 4 Island Living feel so empty compared to this? The only thing I was excited about from that pack was going to the beach and open swimming, both features that should've been in the base game and shipped to every other Sims 4 world.
If your island paradiso world lags a lot but other worlds dont. Well you are in luck my friend, the world is broken, a quick google for a fixed island paradiso for you to get should fix that for you.
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.
All the information you seek is listed on the page of the games sold. But in case you missed it: no, they're for PC, and no, they're digital downloads for the Origin service. As for getting more stock, I don't control that so I don't know. All I am is an affiliate of the store, I have nothing to do with running it. The differences between the versions were explained in this video at 07:22 (it's just a bit more content)
Rewatching these old reviews reminds me there's a whole bunch of content from Sims 3 I never even touched on before moving to Sims 4. I had this pack but never tried scuba diving.
The codes from my store are sent via email and activate online, so there is no disc of any kind required. In the case of The Sims 3 games, the code is activated through Origin, so you'll need that installed to play. This is described on the store pages for each game.
The only way I can work in Base Game Isla Paradiso is basically use all the NRASS Mods, turn off routing for cars and boats, delete basically everyone except my four main families I make in CAS, unlock all the mystery islands with cheats (bummer!), Unlock and delete all the locked lots, get rid of all but one houseboat, and teleport every where. 😅 Edit: It is worth it to me to do all this set up on top of all the regular set ups I do with NRASS.
An easy to fix to make this EP run way better is to download a fixed version of the world, fixed all my issues with it runs perfectly! I can't promise the same results but it's worth a try
A new thing added to sims 3 is you can buy additional lots, so if you want your sims to vacation there buy the island/lot. I am getting this expansion for Christmas so I am very excited!!
Logan Brown I found it funny too and the surfer dude accent. I'm not Jamaican but I've been there I was at ocho rio and the Cayman Islands on a cruise ship and they were both verrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrry beautiful
is the underwater feature available to other worlds too like sunset valley or just isla paradiso? If so then mermaids is not accessible to other worlds except isla paradiso.
I love how only this expansion had more content than the entire sims 4 series and its expansions.
soooo true
The Sims 4 actually does have more content, I mean at least at this time 3 months after your comment.
Jonathan Elliott I mean... good for it? Not really a huge thing for an entire fucking game + all of its expansions to have more than a single expansion pack

it lags here and there off and on but it is a nice game besides the fact of it lagging

oh i ran into 1 that has bugs the medina family house had a weird bug with kitchen floor, the Medina family is where this guy is divorced from his wife and he has custody of little girl and they live in a house that has a pool underneath it
I figured out which household was buggy becaude of the Nraas mod (i think thats what its called.) its the one that catches errors in the game.
This is a "lacking expansion" for sims 3, this would be like THE BIGGEST PACK EVER for sims 4 :']
Voldemort I really hope sims 5 will be better
Truer words haven't been spoken....
Its just lacking in performance imo i like the content

It kicks the crap outta Island Living... feeling cheated
Sims 4 worlds are SO TINY.

@@EmilyBlackEmu i play in a non gaming computer and can still play it...
Island living is a joke. It is more like a stuff pack. Not even a game pack !
Anyone else watching this in 2019 right after island living got announced?
i was watching this
I'm checking this channel every day to see if I just missed the notification for his review :(
Me!!! haha.
No. I am, however, watching it in 2019 after playing Island Living.
the content in this is AMAZING!
Shame that I can't play 10 minutes of this world without 7 of those minutes being the frozen game world.
+Jake McIntyre same. :/
+Miguel Furlan de Avila Delet all the House boad Families, acept for one or two, you defenetly need. Than the game should be okey :)
i had that problem with seasons just play it with other stuff packs or re-download the game
This actually helps a great deal.
Vanilla Ice get master controller, overwatch, and error trap mods, the might help with the lag
"You wonder if this is Bejing's atmosphere on vacation" I'm dying😂😂😂
Same! XD
So is everyone in Bejing, dang polution..
Maarten van Poelgeest that killed me
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
Mine worked fine after this
Thanks!
You’re a life saver
Wow ! Thanks !!!
I’d I add a new house with no custom content to those families you listed , will it get glitchy again?

At this point I wouldn't be surprised.

You people scared me when you said the map lagged and froze a lot but for me... Not at all glad I got it (I have no mods) all expansions
Anyone watching this after island living was announced🤐
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.
Watching this after watching the more recent Island Living review and it is appalling how much more content this has in comparison. All this expansion really needed was more time in the oven to iron out bugs and lag causes. Luckily modders have done just that. TS3 was truly the peak.
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.
nOt to flex but island paradise runs extremely smooth for me even tho my laptop is not meant for gaming at all B)
"not to flex" if you say that you are trying to flex
Mines quite different, i got used to the lag and mini freezes that i don't even notice it anymore, thats one way of "fixing" this problem that never got solved.
hey you, I'm thinking of buying a laptop. I want this pack and the others to run smoothly unlike my current desktop. Can you give me the model of your laptop? that would help alot!
@@refiaatmaca3008 just search the web you may get better options :)
tbh the best thing about being a mermaid (especially an evil one) is that you can actually get sharks to attack people :P
So it's basically Open for Business and Bon Voyage in one expansion?
If this expansion worked like it was suppose to this would honestly be the best expansion pack
*sees people complaining about the lag, does research on how to fix the lag, buys it while being aware of it and finds out u can get it less laggier by evicting the scott & the houseboat households and also has the nrass overwatcher mod*
im playing ts4 and i think im going back to ts3
Mikael Larsson I been going playing ts3 as well. Sometimes I even want to play sims2 ultimate edition.
I did because my computer doesn't support the sims 4 but I like the sims 3 better
+LynzSimmer Your gonna have problems.
jesseoblog Your already have problems. :P Sims 4 is still buggy and lacks gameplay. Ea CEO don't care about the fans.
+james64468 I know but it runs perfect on low systems so sims 3 would not run well.
Pure brilliance is what would happen.
But yeah, I meant to mention this could have a very cool Dead Island/Isle of the Dead thing going on with it without too much hassle. And it would be glorious. There are zombies in the game already, after all :D
I didn’t know there was a kraken in that game. 🤦🏾♀️ I’m learning so much from these videos.
Absolutely! Look for it a day or two after the pack releases.
This is helpful~ My sister just gave me her copy of Island Paradise, and I tried playing it last night, as I adore Sims, but I got confused early, with the boat houses, finding mermaids and everything. So this is very helpful! Thanks!
Why does the Sims 4 Island Living feel so empty compared to this? The only thing I was excited about from that pack was going to the beach and open swimming, both features that should've been in the base game and shipped to every other Sims 4 world.
Your voice definitely make these videos 10x better
If your island paradiso world lags a lot but other worlds dont. Well you are in luck my friend, the world is broken, a quick google for a fixed island paradiso for you to get should fix that for you.
Hahaha "for people who say jaaa and yemaaan"
😂😂😂😂😂
@@camrieya wait a minute flying car oasis landing the future car can floating in water
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.
Whoa whoa whoa. I just found your channel and damn I live in st.lucia ! :D
Excellent!
Lazy Game Reviews Why did you live on the island?
Don’t mind me just revisiting my childhood:)
GOD I WANNA GO BACK SO BADDDDD!
*Sims 4 has left the chat*
As they should
I miss sims 3 :/
It had unicorns
All the information you seek is listed on the page of the games sold. But in case you missed it: no, they're for PC, and no, they're digital downloads for the Origin service.
As for getting more stock, I don't control that so I don't know. All I am is an affiliate of the store, I have nothing to do with running it. The differences between the versions were explained in this video at 07:22 (it's just a bit more content)
Rewatching these old reviews reminds me there's a whole bunch of content from Sims 3 I never even touched on before moving to Sims 4. I had this pack but never tried scuba diving.
The codes from my store are sent via email and activate online, so there is no disc of any kind required. In the case of The Sims 3 games, the code is activated through Origin, so you'll need that installed to play. This is described on the store pages for each game.
my pc from 2010 couldn't handle the sims 3, but now my new computer runs this EP good now :')
cant wait to see the difference between this and island living
Yeah, those lacking features in the Sims 4 are gonna be lit. Can't wait.
I got recommended island living... refreshed and get recommended a superior pack
The only way I can work in Base Game Isla Paradiso is basically use all the NRASS Mods, turn off routing for cars and boats, delete basically everyone except my four main families I make in CAS, unlock all the mystery islands with cheats (bummer!), Unlock and delete all the locked lots, get rid of all but one houseboat, and teleport every where. 😅
Edit: It is worth it to me to do all this set up on top of all the regular set ups I do with NRASS.
I like island paradise that’s the first pack I’m keeping
An easy to fix to make this EP run way better is to download a fixed version of the world, fixed all my issues with it runs perfectly! I can't promise the same results but it's worth a try
You have the greatest channel on youtube. So entertaining. Keep on keeping on you amazing human being!
A new thing added to sims 3 is you can buy additional lots, so if you want your sims to vacation there buy the island/lot. I am getting this expansion for Christmas so I am very excited!!
Did anyone get that "I'm On a Boat" reference? ( 1:56 to 2:01 )
yep
Awww the Sims 3 when expansions were actually expansion and the sims were awesome
As opposed to the half-arsed 'Island Living' ... poor sims 4
lmaoo that yeh mon part was funny, since im Jamaican myself
Logan Brown I found it funny too and the surfer dude accent. I'm not Jamaican but I've been there I was at ocho rio and the Cayman Islands on a cruise ship and they were both verrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrry beautiful
Anyone watching this now that the sims 4 island living expansion has been released?!
I am so happy I found your reviews! They are super helpful and funny as hell! Thanks!
Wow this one has much more cool stuff than Sims 4 Island living including a fricken Kraken!
Love hearing him mock something that I find amazing compared to the sims 4 today... just shows how our standards for the sims have lowered.
@LGR Waiting for your Island Living review.
Sims 4 tropical pack may have been leaked. Came back here immediatly to reminisce when sims actually added content with each expansion.
I prefer this to Island Living solely for the fact diving is not a rabbit hole. The upside is IL improved on mermaids.
is the underwater feature available to other worlds too like sunset valley or just isla paradiso? If so then mermaids is not accessible to other worlds except isla paradiso.
You can edit the other worlds to include underwater areas.

oh sounds like create a lag thanks though!
+Darweza Radjab Create a Lag?
XD
Yeah true it does create a lag
