Island Paradise or World Adventures?

[Krosis]

I have all the other game expansions but I'm not sure if I should get World Adventures or Island Paradise. Which one is better?

Both of them are super cool, although Island Paradise has some flaws. A lot of people have issues with the world (freezing every few seconds, crashing, etc...) including myself. Sometimes it's an easy fix by just installing a mod to fix it. World Adventures gives you A LOT to do. 3 different new worlds to go to, you get a bunch of missions and things like that. Lots of new content! Island Paradise also comes with new things but not nearly as much. I'd say Adventures is definitely worth your money. Depending on which you like to spend your time on more; doing missions and finding treasures, or swimming with mermaids and discovering islands. I love them both!

Since I'm not wanting to do an extremely long winded paragraph, here's a pros con list for getting either one.

IP:
Pros:
One new life state, mermaid. Entirely new world. New skill: Diving. Jetskis/motorboats. Lifeguard profession. Can build resorts. Can buy a houseboat. Uncharted islands with treasures & etc.

Cons:
Isla paradiso lags even on the best of pcs, which can be fixed via mods. Kraken can steal your boat/houseboat.

WA
Pros: 3 new worlds to travel. 3 new skills: Photography, Nectar(wine) making and martial arts. Several New moodlets.
The sims equivalent of dungeons. New content for previously existing skills.

Cons:
Certain annoying errands are required to enter the dungeons. Typical long loading times.
Visa points. They're annoying as heck. It requires you to do things in each new world before you can go to the worlds for longer periods of time. The visa point system is flawed.

Thanks for the replies. I've heard that sometimes World Adventures makes the family tree unaccessable. Has that happened to either of you?

I think the Traveler mod from the Nraas site is supposed to help with that? Someone can correct me if I'm wrong though.

Okay, thanks. I think I'm going to get World Adventures :)

You'll enjoy it. And here's the guide that I wrote for it a few years ago (shameless self-promotion)
