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?

Sidenote, I've made some really fun builds in Magnolia Promenade that were regular living houses, not shops. I like the tram running by in the background, it feels like home.

I had a hard time with Del Sol Valley as well. I find a third of the map to be a nightmare. But there is a lot that works beautifully for making a back alley kind of slum area.

I have some Shops with apartments above them in Magnolia Promenade. So I can use them as retail, or residential, or both with mods.

I use the worlds differently in my various saves, but I pretty much use all the ones I have. Granite Falls the least often, but sometimes my sims vacation there.

I rarely go to Glimmberbrook. I do have one sim living there who I like, and I'll eventually get back to her in my rotation. I have a few ideas for other households, but I just don't love the world. It doesn't seem to fit aesthetically with either the CAS or the B/B, or the theme in general; it's like they plopped down all of these big Art Deco manors (but clunkier), in the middle of Granite Falls. I don't know, it just doesn't really work for me. Plus, it's so small that it's just a few households and the bar (which I might eventually change to a retail lot), so there's basically no reason for my sims who don't live there to ever visit.

I realized recently that there is a lot of worlds I never use. Or just rarely use. I tend to stick to the same worlds.

Never use:
Del soy Valley-Unless I’m playing celebrities I try to mess with them as little as possible.
Evergreen Harbor-Of all the worlds this seems like the most missed opportunity. I just feel like there is nothing to do here.
Forgotten Hollow-Prefer not to play with the occults
Glimmerbrook-ditto
Strangerville-Ditto/rarely solve the mystery
Newcrest-Tends to be exclusively housing for NPCs

Rarely use:
Brindleton bay
Henford-on-Bagley-seems distant from where my Sims live.
Selvadorada-Honestly I just don’t like how NPCs from the world take over after your visit.
Granite Falls-Sometimes I forget it’s there.

I don’t like worlds that don’t have snow. I still visit them and sometimes live there, but I mainly aim for worlds with snow. I love seeing the seasons change.

I enjoy all my worlds, but Evergreen Harbor is the one with "temporarily stored households" that are not actually played. Got some played households in there too, but I guess that might be the world I play less.

I play in all the worlds because my sims like to roam. I don't have any households in Magnolia Promenade as it's only shops and restaurants, and in Mt. Komorebi which I have used mostly as vacation destination.

The upper part of Del Sol valley is amazing. All the lower lots are ugly and boring (Say what you will about Oasis Springs, but a suburb consisting only of mid century modern houses (my favorite architectural style) is awesome). Downtown "LA" is just... ugly.
Also all the pre-built public lots needs renos to be useful.

Evergreen Harbor. I don't particularly like the look and the layout of the world and there's nothing to do there that my sims can't do everywhere else. I have three families living there that I almost never play with, one of which used to live in Willow Creek until they maxed their skills and careers and I ran out of things to do with them. In a way, you could say I'm using Evergeen Harbor as a retirement home for sims I'm no longer playing with, but don't want to kill off or delete either.

Also, Granite Falls. I would use it if it was residential, but as a vacation destination, I don't see a point in it. The first sim I ever sent there was a nature lover who I assumed would enjoy camping in the forest, but she was tense the entire time because her fun was low and there was nothing to do in the wilderness to get it up. (This was before the introduction of likes and dislikes made it possible to let sims have fun fishing or picking flowers.) I've also given up on herbalism a long time ago, the potion recipes you unlock are hardly worth the effort (and boredom) of travelling to Granite Falls over and over to collect the required insects.

Then of course, the worlds from packs I don't own yet, Batuu and Tartosa. I am planning on getting My Wedding Stories eventually, though, and using the world.

I don't use Magnolia Promenade, but I'd like to and recently I want to add venues and maybe a house. Get my sims in clubs to visit more. I'm thinking a cafe, a bar, community garden and maybe a house. But a wedding venue, spa, bed n breakfast, and restaurant may be nice there too.....

I need to go through my worlds and organize. When I play I will know where all the libraries are, and or the cafes. I forget at times what all I have.
