Do you customise worlds before playing?
For me whenever I start a new save or world, the first thing I do before I start playing is always to put my own townies into the world, place useful lots like clubs, junkyards, occult lots, etc in, r...

Anyway, I used to massively edit worlds, and I still do to a degree. If I was going to do one of those "one father, many many children" games. I would add an additional school on top of some of ep lots as well as putting in additional smaller lots in places. In Riverviews case, I mostly moved any residential from that central island to the mainland either side of the river, and I would usually move/delete the "haunted" lot that overlooks the central island from the south.
Barnacle Bay is another favorite of mine to edit majorly. Most of the time, I have a sim plop down next to the park there after sticking a 35 x 25 lot in that space. Sometimes, I would shuffle families and lots around, other times not.
Most of the worlds I would create a "master" template save to edit as needed, then go from there.
