LGR - The Sims 3 Island Paradise Review 

I love how only this expansion had more content than the entire sims 4 series and its expansions.

This is a "lacking expansion" for sims 3, this would be like THE BIGGEST PACK EVER for sims 4 :']

I already own all of these packs but I watch these reviews because they are funny as hell

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 :/

It kicks the crap outta Island Living... feeling cheated

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

"take me down to paradise city when the grass is green and girls are passible." LMAO

Shame that I can't play 10 minutes of this world without 7 of those minutes being the frozen game world.

Anyone else watching this in 2019 right after island living got announced?

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

Re watching this makes me remember how much cooler sims 3 is than sims 4. If only i could get over those out-dated graphics.

"You wonder if this is Bejing's atmosphere on vacation" I'm dying😂😂😂

This expansion pack is absolutely gorgeous. My favorite expansion pack by far. It's insanely stunning and immersive. Cannot recommend it more.

Such a shame that this is the most broken expansion and was never fixed

forever missing the days they cared a little

Kraken? Actual underwater places to dive in? Hidden islands? Sims 4 could never.

You have a golden voice.

sims 3 might be buggy, laggy and crash a lot, but it still offers so much more content in each dlc than sims 4 and I gotta apreciate that

Is that a boat in your pocket or are you just happy to see me?

Concept: Sims team created Sims 4 and all following additions to lower our expectations so when Sims 5 comes out we don't complain.

Only after a few hours after announment of Island Living it showed in my notifications 😂

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?

Watching this after your Sims 4 review for the latest expansion pack and, man...might have to go back to the sims 3.

I don’t care what anybody else says, the sims 3 will ALWAYS be better then the sims 4. Ts4 will never live up to be better

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

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.

i binge watch these reviews uncomfortably often. something about them is so soothing.

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.

The Sims 3: A pretty great fully inclusive Island pack The Sims 4: What if we remade Island Paradise but worse?

Wow they have so many unnecessary whoohooing spots, lol.

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

This expansion might have crashed a lot but it does have way more to do and feels more like a expansion than the sims 4 island living

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

It's wierd seeing this after sims 4 Island living is out.. Lol why didn't they let us go under water. Idiots

"It was lacking" *laughs in sims 4*

Beijings atmosphere taking a vacation omfg

6:33 Beijing's atmosphere, lmao

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...

This is on sale for $10 at Origin. Just grabbed it :)

Anyone watching this video after dissapointed of TS4 Island Living? Yeah. :')

anyone else just come back and rewatch all of LGR's review vidoes?? God i miss the age of The Sims 3 T_T

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

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 can’t wait for him to review sims 4 island living but I wish that there was house bouts and hotels in the sims 4

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.

The Guns N Roses reference kills me even to this day

8:18 “There’s really not a whole lot here.” What???!!

*I will never get tired of watching these*

God I love the dry humour in this

the only thing i don't like about this expansion pack is that at times it it lags and freezes up some here and there

Anyone watching this after island living was announced🤐

I went back here since Island Living is coming, but oh man! Island Paradise has much to offer!

I really liked Island Paradise since the map is just stunning. Run Nraas mods to get rid of the bugs!

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.

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)

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.

If this expansion worked like it was suppose to this would honestly be the best expansion pack

nOt to flex but island paradise runs extremely smooth for me even tho my laptop is not meant for gaming at all B)

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.

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.

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

tbh the best thing about being a mermaid (especially an evil one) is that you can actually get sharks to attack people :P

*Sims 4 has left the chat*

I miss sims 3 :/ It had unicorns

Your voice definitely make these videos 10x better

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!

im playing ts4 and i think im going back to ts3

I didn’t know there was a kraken in that game. 🤦🏾‍♀️ I’m learning so much from these videos.

*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*

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

So it's basically Open for Business and Bon Voyage in one expansion?

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

Hahaha "for people who say jaaa and yemaaan"

cant wait to see the difference between this and island living

You have the greatest channel on youtube. So entertaining. Keep on keeping on you amazing human being!

Absolutely! Look for it a day or two after the pack releases.

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.

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.

I am so happy I found your reviews! They are super helpful and funny as hell! Thanks!

Sims 4 could never!

Whoa whoa whoa. I just found your channel and damn I live in st.lucia ! :D

I got recommended island living... refreshed and get recommended a superior pack

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.

Don’t mind me just revisiting my childhood:) GOD I WANNA GO BACK SO BADDDDD!

Anyone watching this now that the sims 4 island living expansion has been released?!

Anyone watching this in lockdown?

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.

Indeed I did! I lived in Castries, up on The Morne there. Though I also spent some time in Vieux Fort and other areas, of course. Am actually a citizen of the country as my mother was born there, and man do I miss it.

my pc from 2010 couldn't handle the sims 3, but now my new computer runs this EP good now :')

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.

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!!

This is my favorite expansion pack by far. You can be a mermaid, own a houseboat, run a resort, go scuba diving, and so much more. Nothing can beat Island Paradise... Hands down.

im rewatching this just for fun cause its so much better than sims 4

Sims 4 tropical pack may have been leaked. Came back here immediatly to reminisce when sims actually added content with each expansion.

I like island paradise that’s the first pack I’m keeping

Me watching this while playing Island Living: 👁👄👁

Do you want a life at university? Get University Life. Do you want to live on an island that's also a paradise? Get Island Paradise. Really is up to your preferences, as they're both awesome.

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.

this has so much content than they're advertising for sims 4 sadly
