Make Destination Worlds Fully Livable

I really wish The Sims 4 would let us live permanently in Destination Worlds.

Worlds like Granite Falls and Selvadorada already have so much potential as residential worlds. It feels like a shame that they're primarily restricted to vacations when they could easily function as normal worlds where Sims can actually live.

For example:

Granite Falls could work as a small rural/mountain community, with Sims living in cabins and homes surrounded by the forest.

Selvadorada could function as a tropical/jungle community where Sims can settle down, own homes, and become part of the local area.

Sims could still vacation in these worlds even after they become residential worlds. Making them livable wouldn't have to remove their vacation functionality.

The one exception I'd make is Batuu. Unlike Granite Falls and Selvadorada, Batuu doesn't appear to have any actual residential lots, so I understand why it would remain a dedicated vacation/destination world.

For the other Destination Worlds, though, I'd love to see them gain the same residential functionality as the regular worlds.

It would open up so many storytelling possibilities. Maybe my Sim wants to move to Granite Falls and become a forest ranger, or another Sim wants to permanently settle in Selvadorada and explore the jungle in their spare time. Those kinds of stories are much harder to create when the world is treated exclusively as a vacation destination.

Even if EA doesn't want to completely overhaul the system, an option such as "Allow Sims to Live Here" or "Convert to Residential World" would be fantastic.

We've already got these beautiful worlds with their own environments, architecture, and identities. I'd love to have the choice to actually live in them instead of only visiting them.
