Rukaya - Just wanted to warn you and anyone else interested in trying that new Sunset Valley - I would wait - I just spent hours checking it out and kept getting annoyed more than anything - The best part of the whole world is the video - hopefully this is just because it is just in Beta stage - but - well let's put it this way - it showed a lot of promise - but I can tell you one thing it is far from being even what I consider Beta.
First of all it has all the original SSV RH's - if I was modernizing as it indicates I would have changed out a lot of those old SSV RH's. Then all the user made houses - which there is a fair number of - many looked lovely - outside. They are all empty inside. True to their world there is something from every ep - and I mean right out of the ep and plopped into this world. Some are great - some could have done with better placement and change up of the lots - maybe better placement - I am not exactly sure what exactly - but something about many of them just felt wrong or poorly done without much thought other than getting them in there. Just like they did plop in even IP stuff, but the HB's do not sit on the docks quite right. I actually added one house boat and it was not even in the water but on the beach as it hook to the provided dock that way.
I think they started off well and with lots of thought and probably just got tired or wanted to get it out there. Plus all the houses that did have furniture came right out of the bin - exactly like they are in the bin. I find most of the bin houses waste a lot of space - not all of them mind you, but many of them. Actually the store world houses are made much better - but there are no store items at all in this world - and as big as it is there is not really much room to add even some of the new Venues.
Right now the only way I can see I could play this world would be to remove everything in it. As I do like the additions, but they could have added more useful size lots - and should have practices a little more with IP before they started putting in lots. Especially all the water/beach empty lots they left.
Lastly - even though I can't really say if I had lag or not seeing the final came when I had finished looking at everything in edit town and went to try the game - it froze the minute I clicked the return to game. So I never actually got a sim playable into the game.
But the game felt sluggish and you would not suspect a EA world with mainly EA content would be sluggish. I have played user created with all user created houses and even populated that did not feel sluggish like this.
I finally uninstalled it and gave up for now and see what others come up with as I don't want to officially post over there - translations would not be easy. Also it does not help that every thing in the game is in German. Quite frankly my German stinks.
But do what you want of course - if it frustrated me - I see it frustrating you worse. I also couldn't possibly test this for them - even if the language barrier didn't exist - as being in all German it is too hard to keep notes. I am just hoping they are planning on doing a lot more work in here.
