New world neighbourhoods

I would like the next EPs to have neighbourhoods where all the houses are livable , like in the Foundry Cove neighbourhood of  Willow Creek,  and neighbourhoods like Oasis Springs , Forgotten Hollow and other older packs where the neighbouring houses are actually occupied with your own sims. I really miss the liveliness of real neighbours with no 'shell' buildings.  Have all the other buildings in another neighbourhood, like Bars, Lounges, Libraries and Businesses.  The newer EP neighbourhoods seem so dull and lonely.

  • I doubt something like this will happen until they get the funding to redo the game engine. Currently it's designed to run on potatoe computers and in general old. Also it would be more fuitfull to ask for a create a world tool instead where you can make your own wolds from scratch and place as many lots as your computer can handle...bringing the Sandbox character of the Sims franchise back is the key here...

    The set dressing is as intended. Also with each new world they need to accommodate the new gameplay. There was an interview that zi can't remember how long ago with one of the gurus explaining why the worlds are the size that they are now. It actually has to do with the game engine.

  • The comments here don't undersatnd the request.

    OP isn't asking for "every single house in the neighborhood to be a usable lot". They gave specific examples, guys. Founder's Cove in Willow Creek is a neighborhood where within the playable area every single house is, in fact, a usable lot. 

    OP wants more neighborhoods where all the actually usable areas are right next to each other, and the background lots are in the background, not sprinkled throughout.

    I would like more of these too. I think two neighborhoods in Innisgreen will be like this, though!

    Nope, I understood. Which is why I mentioned the interview. They playable lots they have are limited, so that is why the worlds are the way they are.

  • Some of you are misunderstanding me. I don't want bigger neighbourhoods, I would like all the residentual houses next to each other so that my sims can be neighbours with other playable sims.  Take Ciudad Enamorada for instance, There is the neighbourhood of Vista Hermosa  (Love Struck' EP) that has 5 playble lots. I would like them to be  all residentual next to each other  so they are neighbours rather than have them spread around with a lounge in the middle. This would not make the world any larger in fact the opposite. Put the lounge in the other neighbourhood.  So one neighbourhood is residentual and the other is commercial, just like the base game lots.
