    Sulani is my absolute favorite world and I still haven't done half of these. 😄 After your video on the Sulani festivals I started going to them more often and it's really improved my gameplay. It's a very wholesome and cozy world, especially if you spend a lot of time in it and get to know the townies.

      I have Island living since it came out but didn't know like half the things. All the packs have soooo much depth that is hidden. I usually watch LPs when a pack comes out but they don't go deep in the gameplay and it's a shame. These packs are better then we think so people should stop complaining and go deeper

    My idea was to use the crashed plane from strangerville and I kind of made the entire map into a "lost" (tv series). Where a group of ppl crash landed on the island and now have to survive and eventually cohabitation. That kind of idea where every lot is off the grid and its more of a "sims castaways" feel. I've had a lot of fun with the story lines and "tribes".. i mean families that have come to power over generations since the crash.

    I like using the gig work feature! Especially for sims who have a part time job or are primarily care takers. If you live on the island and do certain ones like catching frogs you actually don't have to "leave" your lot so you can still control other sims or return to check on babies in between actions.

    Living like a Sulani Local literally killed my Sim. He had the Child of the Islands trait so I was trying to honor the culture and attend festivals and the like. This was great until he got this random playful moodlet from it that wouldn't go away. I tried everything. I bought reward store potions and all that and eventually, the playful moodlet was back. It lasted for three days. and he was constantly getting hysterical. Even calming down in the mirror didn't help. Eventually, he became hysterical when he aged his child into a toddler and just died right in front of her.

      I'm, almost certain that if you're playing another household and you visit and buy from a retail store then the object will appear in either the sim's or the household inventory.

      @@PeteyPlaysIt I'll have to give it go....another creator did a store review and that was one of the big things they found wrong with sims 4 retail compared to sims 2 retail. I have a Sim in my legacy that is destined to be the owner of a Halloween theme shop so I'll test it then.

    The aspirations need to be more fleshed out so that you’re shown more of these things by playing. Island living seems such a terrible pack otherwise.

    I never fully get to incorporate packs into my game because my Sims always work. 😭

    It's like Rockstar!!!!!!!!!! If you want to play Sims4 offline you have to log in somewhere online first and just keep it open!!!!! It's a dumbass system, but once you can't log in once you don't have access anymore!
