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?

Batuu - I don't have
Del Sol Valley - I have a lot of ideas but I have no clue how to manage that small space and weird lots so I don't use this map.
Forgotten Hollow and Glimmerbrook - are extremally small and boring worlds. My sims have no reason to travel there.

I try to use the rest of worlds but some neighbourhoods are useless or dedicated just for living.

Windenburg has some weaknesses but is still the best world in my opinion such as San Myshuno and Sulani. There is so much to do, so much to visit and these worlds are interesting. Sulani could have been be bigger because I miss a commertial area but ok.

I'm surprised to find myself mentioning Tartosa here! I really wanted that world, but after initially playing and working with it, I pretty much abandoned it. Sulani has better beaches and thematically it doesn't have enough going on to keep my interest. It's just kind of a weird utopian park that people can live around.

only case I would probably never use a world is when playing specific save files. for example in a medieval save i wouldnt play in san myshuno and other too modern places where I cant delete/replace the objects/backgrounds.
I also heard of people doing save files where they only play specific worlds because the way s4 handles walkbys is just too immersion breaking.. I personally cant play without mods that fix this issue and I mostly prefer my playtime put into the same save file. I really, really hate the fact that there is no official fix for this, gone mad so many times.

I tend to only use worlds where it doesn't snow. I hate winter, it ruins gameplay. Just like I hate winter in real life, it destroys the joy of being outside.

(Seriously, I am REALLY happy Tartosa added another world without snow! :smiley: )

I love playing most of the Seasons except Summer. It's so way too hot, so I don't put my beloved sims through it. I use the Weather Machine constantly to either turn back to Spring or forward to Autumn.

So the exact opposite for me :smiley:
I LOVE summer, and prefer Sulani or Strangerville where it is almost constant heatwaves.

I've never used Newcrest BUT that will change due to my plans to build it up as New Veronaville (gotta have some place for all the VV sims to live!).

I also keep forgetting the vacation worlds exist and I only brought Batuu for the BB/CAS content so I'll never go there.
