Idea: New Worlds + Cultures (Japan example)
As I have seen some people suggesting an Asian themed world I started to think about how that could look like. I looked into Japan specifially and collected some ideas. I am by no means an expert rega...

I see what you mean. But you can always choose which worlds you go to. I'd want it to be a home world still, so I can actually play with a Japanese family in a Japanese town. Same would go for a Skandinavian world (nice suggestion!), an African one etc. It could let you play sims in completely new areas and various cultures. I have nothing against American worlds, but I think it would be nice to have something fresh and different too. Of course it would be strange to have it seem like your sims can basically walk from their American-ish Willow Creek to a Japanese inspired place - I agree with you here - but as it is, we can choose which worlds to visit with our sims when and how and like you mentioned, we can always pretend they go on "vacation". More diverse worlds to play and tell stories in, plus their respective cultures, would to me be an exciting and interesting new component for The Sims. :smile:
Yeah, that's why I suggested letting us choose our residential worlds kind of...a la carte. (Actually, the word that I was looking for is modular.)That way, each player could choose which hoods they want to have as "local" and which they would prefer as destinations -- rather than have EA do it.
Right now, we can choose not to utilize certain worlds. However the residents of those worlds regularly visit anyway, as if they're locals.
If the game world were more modular, eventually, anyone from any country would be able to customize a world to play in that is as familiar or unfamiliar to them as they would like it to be. The game could become truly international.
I know that in addition to an America-based save, I would also choose Central American and another that was more Scandinavian in influence.
Yeah, I know the chance of this level of customization is probably zero. It would require that EA create many more worlds, of various cultures, and/or a CAW so that the community could do it. Still, sometimes, it's nice to dream of what this game could be. :)
I know what you mean. I was sad to know that Selvadorada wouldnt have a living neighborhood... Since World Adventure i see people complaining about that... As simmers we want to be able to customize our game as much as we can!
