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 8PMUPDATESince 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.Batuu: 5Brindleton Bay: 2Britechester: 5Del Sol Valley: 6Evergreen Harbor: 9Forgotten Hollow: 7Glimmer Brook: 10Henford on Bagley: 3Magnolia Promenade: 9Mt Komorebi: 4Newcrest: 3Oasis Springs: 4San Myshuno: 2Strangerville: 3Sulani: 3Tartosa: 1Willow Creek: 1

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.

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.

Are there any worlds you never use?

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.

I wouldn't say "never use"
because I will... one day :lol: one day I will! *clenches fist determinedly*

soo I'll just put it this way

Worlds I've used a lot now/ in the past:
Brindleton Bay
Spoiler
in older saves I used delgato lot so much ( minus delgatos) but tbh I need to get back to it cause i haven't been there for a while

still i feel like the amount i used it before puts it in this category rather than other one

Forgotten Hollow
Spoiler
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

Henford-on-Bagley
Spoiler
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

San Myshuno
Spoiler
used it lots in older saves and i did go back with Patina too and yes i plan to go there many many times still

Selvadorada
Spoiler
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

StrangerVille
Spoiler
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

Sulani
Spoiler
played through after release and i visit from time to time i also did build most of it over by now and i have some plans for this save too

Willow Creek
Spoiler
used it too much in the past so I've kind of ignored it for a while but starting rebuild of the world so maybe one day it'll be used again

Windenburg
Spoiler
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
Spoiler
I did university once or twice but ive really only been to U brite part hoping to eventually explore the rest

Del Sol Valley
Spoiler
I visit community lots sometimes but i haven't had sim live there yet i think or maybe i did for very short while in inner circle hmm

Evergreen Harbor
Spoiler
almost completely unexplored but i have grand plans and ive built some lots in preparation

Glimmerbrook
Spoiler
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

Granite Falls
Spoiler
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

Magnolia Promenade
Spoiler
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

Mt. Komorebi
Spoiler
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:

Newcrest
Spoiler
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

Oasis Springs
Spoiler
i used one of the starter homes long long ago and i still remember it fondly but I still need to actually use whole world instead of like lot or 2

Tartosa
Spoiler
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

Worlds I don't have so I cannot use :
• Batuu
Spoiler
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:

It's not that I don't use all worlds It's that I literally can't play with them all so I rotate and choose a few worlds to play in for a long period of time. At some point I used all of them though I do have favorites and lot placement and size means a lot.
I love worlds that have lots clustered closely together. Better for making themes work then spaced lots. Plus I like to group main sims close.

Currently playing in newcrest, and the two destination worlds (with mod to live there)
Setting up tartosa for a tourist destination.
Sulani is my favorite. I come from an island and this place feels like home. Beautiful Beautiful home and nice weather too.
I wanted to love evergreen harbor because it's the closes we got to a trashy world but it seems so empty.
Least used world is Henford because I just don't like country themes

It actually depends on the save. I choose the world that my main sims live in based on the story I want to tell. I’ve had a beach bum living out his carefree fantasy in Sulani. I’ve had a musician who witnessed a mob hit in the Witness Protection Program hiding with the FBI in an underground bunker in Oasis Springs. Right now, I’m playing a sprawling epic fantasy that uses all of my worlds. To be honest, though, I wasn’t using the destination worlds much until I modded them for residential. Now they’re much more a part of the story.

I totally forgot about Batuu! It is the second pack in all generations of The Sims that I never bought. Although funnily enough, someone got it for me as a gift, not knowing I wouldn't want it. So yeah, I have never played in Batuu, cause I never installed the pack.

That is what I did with Magnolia Promenade. I put shops there that I know some sims will have to visit. I think the vet clinic was the first thing I put there.

I felt the same about Tartosa. It is lovely, but small. The lots are very spread out, so any sim's house will be sort of isolated. Sometimes I want that, but for some reason in this world I had a hard time deciding what I would do with it. It doesn't help that everything is wedding focused. Eventually I decided I am going to make a single woman running a B&B. But I haven't started her yet. I think it feels like mostly a destination world for me.

I do too. There are some houses I play less often though, which leads to some worlds being used less often. But even when that happens, I really like that we have all the worlds to utilize so that each household can be in the right environment for their story. I do love that about Sims 4.

I had a hard time with Glimmerbrook too. I think it is pretty, I just don't like how it is set up. And I don't like the driveways in front of the lots. I only use Britechester for students. But I have a very annoying sorority house in that world that I love.
