What I discovered about worlds

@Rflong7 wow, what a list. thanks I will copy that. Can you tell me is there a object that sims have to pay to get in, or am I thinking of Sims 2, Like can I build and own a shop like a game room, but you have to pay to get in. Not sure, It might just be in sims 2

RFlong7 ok thanks, I have been looking for that a long time. I think I had it a long time ago, I want own a store to make a play lot with games and things inside and out

Monte Vista is an example of a world with too many of the same kinds of community lots relative to the size of the population. There are something like 3 or 4 pools, for example. With the first household I ever played there, after the oldest daughter became a young adult, she needed to play her guitar for tips. But I had her spend half the day, on a Sunday, at the central plaza in the town, then sent her to the pizza place for the rest of the day. Not a single sim stopped to watch her all day long, and only one other sim ever set foot on either lot while she was there. It wasn't any better any other time she tried it either, no matter where she went. I moved the household to Twinbrook, and when she played for tips there on the first day, she had a good audience and made a lot of money.

The nice thing about putting all the lots in a world, as @Rflong7 does, is that if you don't need all of them, you can remove them or set them to no visitors allowed, but if you need a specific lot, you don't have to worry about trying to find a place for it, only to find that there aren't any lots of the right size, unless you bulldoze something else that you may also need. That is my biggest reason for not playing in certain worlds, even though I like them - they just don't have any place for some community lot I need for that save, that is too large to place just anywhere.

This is such great discussion and I've learned a lot! :)

I was wondering why I wasn't getting very many sims in my favorite community lots and it's because there are lots of lots in Hidden Springs that I don't play and yeah...

Will be deleting some and set some to No Visitors Allowed. :star:

This sounds like the reason why I love empty worlds where I have to build my own lots up and set it up myself.Logan isn't going to have too many lots of one type for the population except for if it got built and there weren't quite enough sims for it yey though the population was getting close to needing it.I've had empty lots in Deery Meadows and Storybrook and it's happend in Evermore Falls though those cases are just simply because the towns haven't gotten big populations yet and it would take time to get to that big population of having more than 50 sims as the couples who settle there would have to start families and the kids would grow up and be raising families before that happened.

I'm currently setting up the empty version of Cake Island for future episodes of my McFluff videos. I got a bit stressed when I couldn't find an empty 64x64 community lot for my Big Show venue. Then i decided it didn't really matter as I rarely go there anyway and my singers and magicians and acrobats can perform at the other 4 venues. The things i finally do remove now are all the equestrian lots.

Same thing happens in bridgeport. There are soo many similar lots that they all end up being empty. My sim also played guitar but in the park in Bridgeport and he probably saw 2/3 sims the whole day.

Hidden Springs is my favorite EA world, because it's so beautiful. But the biggest issue there with getting sims on community lots is that it also has the smallest population of any EA world. When I placed three more families in the town, all of which had children, some of them teens, it made a huge difference. My guitarist in the music career no longer had any problem gathering an audience and getting tips.

Yes, I'm currently playing a homeless couple there. The wife is an acrobat and is performing for tips to bring in money. When she's ready to go, I look for a lot that already has someone hanging out, and send her there. Bridgeport Acres is a total waste of time. She gets bigger audiences at Marina Field, usually at least three sims, sometimes up to five by the time she's too fatigued to perform any longer. It's a good thing her husband is finding plenty of items in dumpsters to sell at the consignment store, because if they depended on her income from tips, they would starve in short order.

Rflong, I'd be happy if all I could play are your worlds ! I love what you do.
