Yes, I want empty worlds. I also want to be able to create worlds from blank templates, placing any lots I want as long as they fit on the map.
I also also want the maps to actually look like the world. When you go from the world maps to the individual lots, there's often very little similarity between the two. Oasis Springs is a real bugbear for me because, for a world that looks like it's mostly desert, when you actually get down to the lots in build/buy mode, it's mostly grassy lots.
My absolute ideal would be all of the above--blank templates, place your own lots, accurate world maps--with terrain placement like in The Sim 2, so that you can place trees, rocks, other stuff even outside of lots if you want, up to and including buildings that are purely decorative shells. Or you can take the time to go in and make every single house and building in the world so that there's not a single building that can't be visited and/or purchased.
Plus, as long as I'm wishing, I'd also like to be able to set things like how sunny a lot is--is it almost always sunny, always sunny, perpetually overcast, incredibly rainy, foggy in the mornings, foggy all the time, shrouded in eternal night--and how long and how severe the seasons are. I have a friend from San Diego who laments that she lives in a place that has no seasons, just perpetual summer. Which I'd be up for since I don't seem to be able to find anywhere to live where the only season is autumn. There are jokes about how summer in England is a holiday that lasts one weekend. Or maybe this world has a monsoon season where every spring or summer is almost constant rain.
I would love if I could make my own worlds in the sims 4 like I could in the sims 2. I never had the sims 3, so I can’t compare those, but I loved how I could make it exactly how I wanted it and that I was able to place lots nearly everywhere.
So the basics exactly like in the sims 2.
Perfect would be that there is a button to add a new world so there aren’t a lot of empty world in the menu. And while making a new one, it would be great to decide about a lot of the small things that make it into the game play.
Also great would be a road tool and a neighbourhood tool.
It’s a lot of wishing, but sometimes that just needs an output and I think here it is the most constructive.
