I just saw the poll of what are favorite worlds are, and it made me curious why the ones used the least are used less often. It could be the size, the environment, the aesthetic, or something else.
Share your thoughts. What world do you never use, or use the least and why? I would have made this a poll, but we can only have 10 poll answers, so there are too many worlds. :/
As for me: I personally never use Sulani except for vacations, and it is a popular world, which is why I thought this was interesting. For me, I am just not a beach person in real life, so I am not drawn to Sulani.
I also use to never use the desert worlds, cause I don't like deserts. I actually have never played in a desert world in any past Sims games. But recently I started building in those worlds, and found some story lines that helped bring them to life for me, so I have a few households in them now. I haven't moved anyone into Tartosa yet, but I think I am planning a woman running a bed and breakfast to be there eventually.
EDIT: MAY 10th 8PM
UPDATE
Since this couldn't function as a proper poll, I went through a tallied as best I could so we could get a basic overview. Because people had commentary, I had to make some judgment calls. I skipped vacation worlds, since many people would use them if they were livable. If anyone said they only used a regular world for vacations, and barely, I counted it. Regarding Magnolia Promenade: If people said they used it for retail then I didn't count it as unplayed, unless they specified they had put retail there, but didn't use it.
I have never played in Newcrest or Magnolia Promenade. I'm not a huge fan of Oasis Springs either. Newcrest and Magnolia Promenade haven't been high up my list because they came as blank worlds and over time I forgot about them. I wasn't a builder when they came out and I didn't want the hassle of having to fill all those lots. Now that I'm into building the only reason I haven't done Newcrest is because it's still in that out of sight, out mind space in my head. I really do need to go to work on it. MP isn't on my radar because I have never really gotten into playing business owner storylines. And I can never get it into my head that I can place restaurants and shops there and let NPC's run them. Out of sight, out of mind again.
Oasis Springs has always struck me as being really dull. It's probably the drab desert color scheme. That view of it predates me catching the building bug so I never did anything with it. I have grown fond of other worlds so I have no attachment or attraction to it. That's why I've never gone back and spruced it up.
I love Tartosa and have a story with a romance novelist set there. But as I get set to bring other characters into the story aside from my novelist and the Maxis premades, I'm running head on into the realization that it is a very small world. I can't add many characters to my story and have them live there. Not unless I bin the premades or move them into the 'not in the world' category to free up a couple of lots. It is a gorgeous world but it has a claustrophobic feeling.
Im primarily a builder so I will happily build in every world!The only worlds I dont use are the holiday ones...and if they would only let you build there I would def use them too! I only I dont see myself ever using is Batuu. I loved alot of the CAS and BB in that pack but the world and gameplay just didnt do it for me.
I don't tend to play in Del Sol Valley, I don't really like that world. I don't 'play' in Magnolia Promenade as such but that is where some retail stores are so my sims do visit there once in a while.
I have one family in Glimmerbrook but don't use it other than for them, it's so small. I haven't used Forgotten Hollow much either - I like the creepy vibe there but it's just too small. It would have been great if it was bigger and I could have had my werewolves and vampires sharing the spookiness but there's not much space to add in some werewolves.
Mt. Komorebi, to be honest I forget I even have snowy escape. The next least would be Brindleton Bay. While I visit there I never live there, it's too cold. I find the world to be very nice really but I loathe winter irl so I never think to have sims live there. I have put more effort into it than Komorebi. I think I've only intentionally gone there 3 times.
I almost never use Evergreen Harbor. The only time I had any played sims living there was back when I first got that EP and was doing a couple of test saves. I'll probably eventually find story reasons to use the town; I already do on rare (very short term) occasions. But for now it's my least used one. Well, of residential worlds, that is. My very least used one is Granite Falls.
Magnolia Promenade - I have a few shops there but I rarely visit them... I should do something with this world.
Forgotten Hollow - I only lived in it when I played with vampires, I'm not sure what to do with it now... I have a lot there which my sims visit during Halloween.
Glimmerbrook - I'm not sure what to do in it except visit the magic realm.
Britechester - I only visit it when I'm playing as a student, I tried to play a family in the town but I was not sure what to do with them.
Every dang save is forgotten hollow save old new does not matter ever since forgotten hollow arrived its been the hot spot for my sims and vlad always has spot in my cold heart
I played it very intensely for few months after release and ive interacted with most of the sims in this save built some things and explored all neighborhoods I will eventually go back for round 2 though I think
if my sims take vacation its usually selvadorada ive had sim in this save travel there too ( my legacy starters got married there in past) and ive explored most of it
did strangerville mystery once and then i started building strangetown there and yes I might be finally revisiting it soon tm and I think im gonna use it very much yes
this is kinda idk which is more true me not using or me using because the island has been used to death so many times for so many saves but actually rest of the world is like huh i haven't really been here that much have I maybe ill get to it in this save
Worlds I haven't done much with so far: Britechester
yeah idk the roads drive me crazy when building here so in the end it got bulldozed and i only had sim living there like once or twice actually i think very shortly tho maybe once i get it built all over again I'll start getting use out of it
suffers from being vacation only and me liking selvadorada better for that as granite falls just kinda looks like my irl backyard :sweat_smile: maybe i will build something there eventually too
actually its mostly built but i keep changing my mind with how i want the lots there and my sims don't often do retail so yeah its kinda used but also not
I've used it some but i definitely haven't explored much of it yet being preoccupied with other things + with winter sports i really just still suffer from the childhood trauma of forced skiing on pe classes so i am kinda unable to like them :lol:
i have bob and eliza there and i think i had house for my legacy sim there once but eh i just don't vibe with newcrest really so only now trying to build more things there
edited thebe house a bit and bulldozed many things experienced couple days of completely broken everything and gloomy storms all day with my simself so i never really went back and i don't think i will for a while tbh I'm still kinda avoiding it cause i can just feel the bugs and glitches and lag creeping on me
just don't know much of star wars so i didn't buy the pack at least yet i mean idk i just feel i should know more about the movies to really come up with things to do with the pack :sweat_smile: so maybe if i watch them movies one day and happen to like them :lol:
I don't know what to do with Forgotten Hollow. In my mind the whole gravestones aesthetic is something fans of vampire fiction would like, but not the vampires themselves. My older vampires enjoy the comforts of the modern world with a touch of their birth cultures (Imperial Rome and Selvadorada), and the freshly created ones identify more closely with their birth cultures than with their species.
I tried making the world into a theme park, and maybe will give it to my gaming club for the ocasional LARP, but other than that I just cannot fit it.
Being a big fan of playing mermaid/merfolk sim families, I tend to use worlds that have bodies of water to swim in, so worlds without water tend to get a bit neglected unless I play with other occults like vampires, fairies, etc.
I do usually try to add pools in the house yards for areas or parts of the worlds that don’t have nearby water sources, but I usually prefer being near the water areas, for the most part, if I have mermaids/merfolk within a family.
I think one of the worlds I haven’t used at all yet was Evergreen Harbor.
Edited to add:
Oh! And I also barely touch the City Living place. While I love the aesthetics, the foods, the festivals, and overall surroundings, I just don’t like apartments.
