New Base Game World - Concept
Hello everyone! In my opinion after the long years, TS4 has improved a lot but the base game doesn't give a justice to these changes. Currently we have a LOT of new venues, CAS and BB options, but th...

I totally agree. Especially in Del Sol Valley it is impossible to play mid-class Sims. What about savefiles. As a console player I can only have 10 savefiles even if I have PS5. It’s ridiculous because I like building my own things and download awesome Gallery creations but I’m limited by savefile restrictions and lack of empty world. What is worse, new worlds are also restricted by an artstyle and it is immersion breaking to build something different than you can see on the neighborhood.
Yeah, what @Sthenastia said about Del Sol Valley. I really love the acting career and the reputation system, but the world Del Sol Valley is... erm.
In my current save, I married of Zoe Patel and Johnny Zest, put her in the acting career, and finally saved up enough to move them into Venessa Jeong's old place, but my other Sim lived across the street and I had to move her to Windenberg to find her a decent place, even though she's also in the acting career.
(That said, I do like the lot sizes on the starter homes. It helps to have a side hustle in the early stages of acting, and a lot of my Sims choose gardening.)
What about the base game I want to add that TS4 has only 47 lots in total and only 21 of them are empty (3 from WIllow Creek, 3 from Oasis Springs and 15 from Newcrest), when TS3 had 92 lots in Sunset Valley (21 empty lots) and 95 in the Riverview (22 empty lots). To be close to TS3 base game potential, TS4 should have additiona 50 lots in the base game at least. The world from The Sims Unleasched seems to be a very good choice with its 41 lots.
I would even be happy with empty versions of the existing worlds we can build up however we want. Just take the existing templates for worlds, delete all of the lots, and rename and add them back to the game. Maybe fix routing issues at the same time, or make other small changes so there are differences from the originals.
Next week we will have a new expansion with a new, really tiny world. Currently I have an issue to fit all the content in existing worlds, but if I bought Werewolves it would be harder. At the moment I don't use some venues and gameplay because of lack of space. That's sad. I have to sacriface some worlds to expand another ones. It would be great if we even received the possibility to duplicate Newcrest. I have no idea where to build borms for students, villas for celebrities, bowling alleys, hunted houses, spas, restaurants ect.
It is funny that after almost a year, the problem is still the same. San Sequoia will be added to the game soon with 12 lots again.
Can we receive the possibility to duplicate Newcrest at least?
I have a serious question to the simmers. What do you do if you no longer have available space in your savefile? I've started to remove townies about which I don't care but still I have a problem to place more community lots.
@Sthenastia How many packs do you own? Certain packs do come with an additional world. I own all packs, so I have a lot of worlds (20 'home' worlds and 3 'destination' worlds). That's not to say that I wouldn't love a new 'Newcrest' type world added to basegame, as I do almost all of my building there, and many of my main Sims live in those homes. I would very much LOVE to have a new world like Newcrest added. 🙌
Personally, how I 'add new real-estate/story options' typically is I begin a new game save, or, for me, most of the time I save my current or desired game as 'Save As' and give it a new name. then I double check in the 'choose game save to open' screen to assure myself that this new game save is there AND that the previous game save is still there with everything intact (I even open the previous game save to confirm this, and I have an over abundance of caution when it comes to these things)... and THEN I enter the new game save I just made and go crazy with removing everything and everyone I can do with out in my new save.... but I also keep certain Sims, even if I evict them to open up real estate (and make sure the setting is not ticked to let the game auto-fill homes). This way I have the options of having whichever Sims I still want in the new world there (and with relationships intact).
