Definitely agree. There are several missed opportunities for interactions that we already have in other packs like the lighthouse and waterfall. It would make sense to include them especially since this is a game pack. Why not include gameplay interactions that already exist? Weird. Great video as always!
A neat little feature I found was in the main beach in Porto Luminoso there’s a rock in the water that’s actually a face! You can see it clearer at night since the area around it glows
I really appreciate Petey's positivity towards this pack ;). I feel like irl ppl would enjoy taking a stroll around the beautiful area, but in sims... not necessarily 😅
"But alas this Tree does nothing Fancy" Lol I love how you casually give the bad news with the good. This pack has my interest but I'm not touching it with a ten-foot pole until they patch the heck out of it. Great stuff Petey, you really bring out the best in these packs! 👍👍
I asked the Gurus why the cursor changes on that tree even though there is no interactions on it... Apparently you get a special moodlet if you propose near it (like in the trailer, I guess?), but I haven't tested it personally.
The world is entirely made for weddings?! I am quite sad there isn't more you can do with it besides scenery, swimming and proposing. They could've atleast made it for honeymoons too!
Actually the world has 6 residential lots, 2 familys that seems to be rivals (or something like that, I haven't check it yet). There's also a rental lot, a wedding venue, and a pub if I remember correctly. Also, you can find a new kind of collection that are message in bottle that seems you can only find in the beach on Porto Luminoso, and those has a little bit of lore referring to Princess Cordelia and some other sims. I personally find that the most exciting part of the game pack
in the trailer, they basically suggest that sims can go on honemoons in tartosa, but the whole thing has to be in your imagination as your options are just normal rental lots that you can already create with the base game only 💩
This pack is so broken it makes me wonder if the Lighthouse, Tree, Cave, or Waterfall do have interactions and are just broken lol, why is there no woohoo spot, in their words 'most romantic world' ?
Well done Petey, you got this one out really quickly! Haven't got the pack yet and people need to know the gameplay is really buggy, yet to be fixed, and it can ruin your ability to have base game weddings. Check other reviewers for more info. Doesn't change the fact that Petey's content is consistently high quality. EA should aspire.
Aww thank you so much Lizzie! :) I really appreciate the super kind comment, and I definitely agree that the new pack needs a massive fix before it's playable! I hope EA take some time to improve it soon.
I love your videos! I actually make the waterfall beach area more fun by putting stuff from my inventory like a campfire, tent, cooler ect. Place them in the free world (not a lot) and the npc sims/townies actually use this stuff on their own free will! in Sulani there are multiple random lone islands that you can completely live off because you can bring stuff from your inventory on drop it on the island like a lost on a desereted island senario. makes for cool gameplay. Would be neat to see someone do a video about it and get creative!
I finally managed to get the Markovics married at City Hall after a few failed attempts. They basically disappear for a few moments then reappear and have their first kiss. There is a bike parked up nearby for sims to take scenic tours on. I've heard a lot about simmers having no luck finding hidden bottles on the beach but I found 16 in my first visit! However, none of the back story between the two families exists in my game as it did in the early access videos. In fact it's as if they have never met each other.
Not world related but I found interesting was the you died at my wedding sentiment, if you hold a wedding and someone passes away, you will get a sentiment about them. An angry one with a silly illustration. It says something like you died at my wedding how dare you make this day about you. It’s pretty funny but it disappears as soon as that dead person turns into a ghost. you would have to be looking at the profile as soon as the moment of death to catch the sentiment.
The world in this pack is so beautiful. I was so excited to host weddings here. I am so disappointed that the pack is so bugged. Luckily I didn’t buy it and waste my money. I am so sad that my sims can’t have the weddings of their dreams.
When U went on about the cake….I nearly spit my coffee. My 13yr old is obsessed with cake. U described her. Cake of any kind. She has no dislike of any flavor cake and when we go to the grocery store, she will put no less than 3 various kinds of cake. People will say “aww must be someone’s birthday” and she looks up from her phone and says “nah, I just like cake. RIP to anyone who needed an impromptu bday cake today” 🤣 I blame her nana. When nana comes to visit (frequently), she stops at the amazing cake shop and gets 2-3 different kind to “try”. She’s been doing it since before my Bella was born. Bells is the only one who mirrors nana’s love for cake lol The forest Gumps of cake.
People just HATE it, don't they? I'm not that upset about it. It's the first larger project they've released from quarantine, it was going to be rocky. I suppose if I was really worked up for the gameplay aspect, I'd be very disappointed. I'm deeply invested in the houses I'm already playing, and this is just another place for them to go on vacation. I always want that.
EA released it broken and didn't include a "get money back if quality is bad guarantee" like other packs, thats a big A-hole move. That's not on quarantine. They haven't even addressed the issues yet. It can even break your base game, at least weddings
I'm looking forward to learning more about the new collection. Keep visiting the new world to look for lumps in the sand, so I can search for a message in a bottle, but haven't had any luck yet.
I got bored watching the world. Don't get me wrong, I wasn't bored with your narration or video. I was boring thinking what the hell am I gonna do with an empty world? Especially when most of the time sims don't really do what you what them to do. lol.
Protip : Don't buy the newest DLC in same month as its released. Buy and install it several weeks later when they give the new patch(es) to this game. I learned from bad experience installing Eco Living & other BROKEN DLCs.
Very nice job of showing us the beauty of it all Petey, I actually want to get it now... 😁 and yes! the water there is a very pretty colour! I love it! Thanks!
Wait with buying, it's a buggy mess, EA released it broken and didn't include a "get money back if quality is bad guarantee" like other packs. They haven't even addressed the issues yet. It can even break your base game, at least weddings
@@jessicalovescookies1289 Thanks Jessica, yeah I know it's real buggy, but I got it anyway, cuz the world is so beautiful, and some of the dresses and build items are nice too, it was only $29 in Australia, so it was not as dear as packs usually are.
If you look at team composition for this pack, then you'll notice that this pack is meant to be pretty, not functional. Hence all the bugs and no interaction around tartosa.
Love it!!! I am watching everything om my tv al your serries when i playing the sims.! Over and over again gives me insperation to play! Greetings from Marden33 haha now you know who comment in the gallerrie lol Keep up the good work!!😂😂
Just got back into sims and I’ve been binge watching Videos explains packs I got!! Love your style of video you just gained a new subscriber 👍 thank you for the helpful info (& encouragement I will be buying a 200 Simoleon cake for a Friday night 😂)
Wait with buying, it's a buggy mess, EA released it broken and didn't include a "get money back if quality is bad guarantee" like other packs. They haven't even addressed the issues yet. It can even break your base game, at least weddings
I love the idea of this pack but there are just to many unfixed issues with this pack, and EA hasn’t said anything about them, so I’m probably not gonna buy.
I definitely think that's a good move. If I didn't need the pack to make content I wouldn't buy it, and I actually have it uninstalled at the moment because it breaks weddings.
thank you for letting me live vicariously through your video! Since yeah, I want it ... but I'll be waiting for *at the very least* it's been fixed, and hopefully (if I can wait that long
I definitely think waiting for it to be fixed (and on sale too) is a good move! It's disappointing that it's been released in the state that it's in. And thank you for the kind comment Marie :)
I’d love some ideas on how to spice up these rather empty worlds. Like what can you customize in terms of adding or changing the public lots so there’s a little more functionality. It’s a shame there’s no choice to customize the public areas if they aren’t specifically on a lot.
This entire world is beautiful, but a missed opportunity. One of the most glaring issues with this one, is that it´s just so freakishly empty. Anyone who has ever been to a town in France of Italy knows it´s busy af with tourists. This world needs to be more busy
I saw that we could get some interactions by asking about the secret of grapevine to the locals. I'd really want to have some secret stories about these grapevines... Sadly there is not! Or I don't know yet!
is it bad that i am contemplating buying this just for the world, even though i know the pack is totally broken? i rarely do traditional family game play, more into young adults playing out their dream life type scenarios... so i need a lot of beautiful scenery that is selfie worthy. don't really care about the wedding gameplay aspect. but i would only purchase on sale anyway, and that goes for all the packs, including the ones that aren't broken.
Thank you for this review the world is certainly beautiful, but it’s a shame EA didn’t put more effort into it there are too many false buildings they could easily have got one of the fans to build those houses that’s very disappointing but as I said it is beautiful, but I have to say you sound like a robot which really puts me off there’s no inflection in your voice. I found it hard to listen to till the end.

The world takes FOREVER to walk around and there's literally nothing to do. There are no harvestable plants, no fishing spots, nothing to interact with. Just excessive walking from one place to another. Yes it's gorgeous, but so sooo boring unless your one goal is taking aesthetic pictures. Also a terrible world for rags to riches runs. I still bought it because I'm a sucker for the Mediterranean look but none of the window swatches match either 😣 Oh well, I guess you can swim at the one beach..
There's swimming, but they're along the walkway instead of at the beach and most of the residential lots are a fair distance from them. Decent weather for farming though.
Looks cute but boring... everything in this world is a combination of everything we've seen before, it really begs the question, do you want to fork out £30 for some Italian townies?

You can’t woohoo in the light house of a wedding themed world?
EA, you had one job!
It does sound like a missed opportunity.
Definitely agree. There are several missed opportunities for interactions that we already have in other packs like the lighthouse and waterfall. It would make sense to include them especially since this is a game pack. Why not include gameplay interactions that already exist? Weird. Great video as always!
I completely agree! For such a romantic world I was expecting a unique and secret woohoo spot!
A neat little feature I found was in the main beach in Porto Luminoso there’s a rock in the water that’s actually a face! You can see it clearer at night since the area around it glows
Ooh that does sound cool, thank you for sharing shelby!
That’s so cool! My sims are honeymooning in Tartosa right now, we will have to do some night swimming!
I really appreciate Petey's positivity towards this pack ;). I feel like irl ppl would enjoy taking a stroll around the beautiful area, but in sims... not necessarily 😅
Awe shucks thank you so much for the kind words Danielle :D!
"But alas this Tree does nothing Fancy" Lol I love how you casually give the bad news with the good. This pack has my interest but I'm not touching it with a ten-foot pole until they patch the heck out of it. Great stuff Petey, you really bring out the best in these packs! 👍👍
Yep, me too! Honestly, I had the same reaction to Snowy Escape when it first came out. Why does EA keep doing this to the Sims?
Thanks for the super kind comment Nozong :) It made me smile! Definitely agree, I wouldn't touch this pack until it's fixed.
I asked the Gurus why the cursor changes on that tree even though there is no interactions on it...
Apparently you get a special moodlet if you propose near it (like in the trailer, I guess?), but I haven't tested it personally.
The world is entirely made for weddings?! I am quite sad there isn't more you can do with it besides scenery, swimming and proposing. They could've atleast made it for honeymoons too!
I said the exact same thing. We could always make a rental lot for them to stay at after the wedding, though.
@@Discordia5 now that is inspiring!
Something like a luxury hotel/spa with fine dining or a buffet 😋 🤔 😍
Actually the world has 6 residential lots, 2 familys that seems to be rivals (or something like that, I haven't check it yet). There's also a rental lot, a wedding venue, and a pub if I remember correctly.
Also, you can find a new kind of collection that are message in bottle that seems you can only find in the beach on Porto Luminoso, and those has a little bit of lore referring to Princess Cordelia and some other sims. I personally find that the most exciting part of the game pack
in the trailer, they basically suggest that sims can go on honemoons in tartosa, but the whole thing has to be in your imagination as your options are just normal rental lots that you can already create with the base game only 💩
@@Discordia5 pretty sure there is a pre-made one!
This pack is so broken it makes me wonder if the Lighthouse, Tree, Cave, or Waterfall do have interactions and are just broken lol, why is there no woohoo spot, in their words 'most romantic world' ?
They put hot tubs in the the club. So they technically do have a whoo hoo spot. not saying they couldn’t have added more, but they do have a spot.
@@janniegurl05 okay, I meant like a special location only found in Tartosa. Like how the waterfall works in Sulani
Well done Petey, you got this one out really quickly!

I finally managed to get the Markovics married at City Hall after a few failed attempts. They basically disappear for a few moments then reappear and have their first kiss.
There is a bike parked up nearby for sims to take scenic tours on.
I've heard a lot about simmers having no luck finding hidden bottles on the beach but I found 16 in my first visit!

The forest Gumps of cake.
This world looks so beautiful! And 9 lots! I can't wait to get it!
It's not that great. The world visualy is beautiful however only in certain area's majority if the worl you cannot interact with so it's super boring
Don’t get the pack. As of now the gameplay of the weddings is really bugged.
I am confident that builders would love these waterfalls.
The world is gorgeous. It’s just a shame that wedding events themselves are so broken. I hope they can fix it soon
Thanks for the tour 💕 No denying it is a beautiful world but it is really going to stretch the imagination to make use of a lot of the areas.

Wasn't Cottage Living released last year... after quarantine ....
That one may have been in development prior to quarantine.

I found 2 when my sims were there on vacation. It seems like it’s hit or miss with people either finding them or not.
I may have had a bug because the beach was filled with 10 of these sand lumps in 3 locations across the beach
I got bored watching the world. Don't get me wrong, I wasn't bored with your narration or video. I was boring thinking what the hell am I gonna do with an empty world? Especially when most of the time sims don't really do what you what them to do. lol.

non-functioning lighthouse is a shame
Petey describe better than the sims itself
I'm kinda dissapointed that we can't learn the recipes for the food that came with this pack
world is beautiful but i could not get the actual wedding to work at all 😭 the sims just would not exchange vows
I've had the same struggles... It's such a broken pack I really hope the sims team fixes it.
This entire world is beautiful, but a missed opportunity. One of the most glaring issues with this one, is that it´s just so freakishly empty. Anyone who has ever been to a town in France of Italy knows it´s busy af with tourists. This world needs to be more busy

I had no idea there were even shops
Would it be possible to place spawners for gems or seeds or meteors in Tortosa? Just to make the walk more fruitful
i think tartosa is near sulani
Really nice world but sad the gameplay just fell over. :(
so how do you get this if weding stories is broken?
Aww... I wish they added more gameplay objects interactions into this world. Sigh...
Sad...

Is it fixed or still broken?
'Cause it's Friday
'Cause it's Monday
'Cause it's a charcoal-burnin' Sunday
'Cause we ain't gonna get to one day
That's why we cake
i wish you could literally go inside the shops, ea is lazy
Even the rabbit hole weddings are broken? Glad I didn't buy this.
Looks cute but boring... everything in this world is a combination of everything we've seen before, it really begs the question, do you want to fork out £30 for some Italian townies?
EA are so fucking lazy
The shops only sell produce for me. 🥲 I have to figure out what mod is breaking them.
