    Didn't try this. The expansions are becoming more and more meaningless from now on. And they are still so expansive. It's amazing that a sims game can add up to maybe several hundreds bucks at last. That's ridiculous...

    I'm not sure about this. It does give a lot of new content in the game, however it's really pricey so I'm not sure what to think about it. Also if your computer isn't the best, it's gonna slow it down real bad and it's gonna freeze every 30 seconds.

    While all this isn't revolutionary Sims gameplay, at least a few new under-and-above-the-sea and on-the-beach gaming elements provide more than the standard expansion Sims pack offering.

    I don't think anyone will feel The Sims 3 is an incomplete game without Island Paradise. Sure, it's fun, but $30 is a lot to spend for filler content for a game that's four years old and already has an announced sequel.

    Maxis has filled this tenth expansion with a lot of content, but The Sims 3 starts to feel a bit overboard.
