Though their abilities are surface level (the Vampires pack, in comparison, has light RPG mechanics that allow you to learn new magical skills), the aesthetics alone are worth the price of admission since each mermaid looks awesome when swimming around and befriending dolphins. Players can really see the impact their sims make on the island with cleaner beaches, greener trees, and even more flowers.Ĭreating a mermaid is a lot of fun, since you can achieve some beautiful designs for your mythical creature. Connecting with the culture and tending to the island is rewarding.

“Child of the Islands” and “Child of the Ocean” both introduce some original new ways to interact within the island of Sulani. Along with mermaids, this pack has plenty of new gameplay, especially when it comes to new features and traits in create-a-sim. Sorry if I’m a bit rambly! It’s been a long day for me.This recent release has already proven to be a solid entry. specialized? Less broad? Each one definitely adds gameplay, but unless you actually use the big things being advertised, you’re honestly better off just downloading some CC clothing and furniture. I’d say that kinda rings true in most of the expansions and game packs. HOWEVER, the vampires and witches are way more fleshed out than you could’ve dreamed of. So, you paid 40$ for an expansion in 3, and (so far) 40$ for 2 games packs for only part of the content. Sims 4 has 2 separate game packs just for vampires and witches. For example, Sims 3 Supernatural came with ghosts and witches and fairies and blah blah the list goes on. The content has been broken up compared to past expansions. The list goes on.ĭo game packs and expansions offer a new dimension to the game? Yes and no. Tiny living offers some cute, modern things along with the Murphy bed and tiny home lots. Vintage glamor has some cool 1920’s style things with the added bonus of a butler. Stuff packs have 1 big shiny new object, along with a certain aesthetic.
