Just curious as to how your play styles might differ / relate to my own! I've been trying to play in a high rise apartment, but its always a small, idyllic suburb in Newcrest that takes my vote. ...
Apartments, because it feels more "alive", and i love having the festivals downstair, and beeing able to get food without having to cook. And in real life i love living in the city and hate living in the country side. I also love tiny appartments much more than big houses, even in the sims. Before San Myshuno i would always live in starters and the tiniest houses i could find. Also i'm not a builder so I don't really feel limited by it.
