cool ideas I also want arabic and african worlds too

French and Italy are quite different, don't think that mixing them together in a pack would be helpful. Separately, they would be great, though, as they are large countries and offer lot of inspiration. A city neighbourhood, a countryside and a beach side neighbourhood for each world would be great. This way we could have a bit of everything, from busy city, to relaxed countryside and vacation vibe beach area inspired by the southern regions. Loved the chateau and Vespa bike in TS3, would love to have that back. Would also love a derelict chateau my sims could restore and then run it as a B&B.

I can appreciate your position when the position is that you don't think EA would give either world the justice it is due. I actually agree, I don't think that the Sims 4 Worlds are as fun or as thorough and Sim 3 ones regardless of how many Worlds they put into it. However my purpose is to make these types of suggestion, make them extremely detailed, and see what comes of it. I figure the more we do the footwork the more we might see a good chunk of what we suggest. Truthfully I don't think this iteration of the Sims will ever be as good no matter what they put into it because they just wont get on board with two things, pack integration and refreshing older packs to improve them and fill in their blanks to make them more enjoyable and work with newer content.

yes to all these, i would love to have these in a pack

I really like all of these suggestions, and would just request that, in the same way as current worlds are reminiscent of real places but also not, that these vacation destinations also be Simified versions that are not actually France and Italy by name, but evocative of them. That would mean giving up having exact depictions of real-world landmarks, but I could imagine fictional versions that would be creative and interesting instead. The main reason I say this is because I think it makes sense for The Sims to be its own world, and not to suggest (any more than has already been done) that there is a 'real world' that exists alongside it. I know there are references to various real countries in item and food descriptions, but I've always taken those as more being for the benefit of players to know what something is supposed to reference. It works better, from the universe of the game, if all the places that exist in The Sims world just exist in that world, rather than trying to imagine that there is a SimNation and then a few countries over is real France, etc.As far as other vacation destinations, I'll just echo what others have said and request continents and regions that we haven't seen yet (Middle East, Africa, Australia), as well as perhaps interstellar or time-travel-based destinations that are more fantastical.
