Best expansion pack based on it's world?

I was really torn in choosing between several worlds, but decided on Sulani.

Being a mermaid/merfolk fan, I like places with water for the merfolk to swim in, plus I was born on an island, so Sulani is my favorite. ?

Windenberg and Henford are also great as well and each world has their own charm.

Windenberg, San Myshuno and HoB are all my favs! I just picked one of them. But if all of these were one giant world I would probably never play anywhere else.

Also, I actually love Granite Falls, and I wish they'd just update it to let it be a livable world. In a game were we can travel world to world anyway, it just doesn't make sense to have some be unlivable.

It is hard to pick though cause these are the ones I'd love to be in irl. I find them the most aesthetically pleasing. But I use other worlds to fit a certain play style or story line. And I love that they are there for that.. I use Del Sol Valley, and Evergreen Harbor for some grungier slum kind of neighborhoods. Not all of my sims get to live the dream..

@Chaotic_Moira

There's a mod for that :)

@ModerateOsprey Thanks, I actually found that just a bit ago. I downloaded it, but I haven't checked it out yet. It is on my to do list. I have been pondering who I want to live there and what there story is.

I feel the exact same way about Selvadorada. I would love love LOVE to be able to permanently live in that world.

Henford on Bagley is just pure magic to me. I just adore the aesthetic and I absolutely thinks it has my heart the most. Cottage Living truly was a win to me in almost every way and the world is a huge part of why.

I just started playing Sims 4 two years ago, and I wasn't getting into it. I was thinking of just going back to Sims 3, and then Cottage Living came out. That is what made me stick with it.

@Beardedgeek @mightysprite I really loved Tartosa when I first got the pack but now that I've got my main save based there I'm really beginning to see how limited it is as the world your sim calls home. It's starting to feel cramped and a bit boring. It would be great if I was playing my sim the way I used to, a homebody that basically did a handful of things everyday and not much more. She went to work came home took care of her needs, hung out with her wife, and painted. This save I want all the sims involved to be active, get out of the house and go places and do things, and in Tartosa there just isn't much to do if you want your sim to be out running around and be really active. And you don't have a lot of space to add things to do if you want to populate the world beyond your sim and the premades. I'm not sure by the time the story reaches it's finale that it will still be there.

Don't get me wrong, it really is a gorgeous world, and I love it, but it's more of a world for sims who are content to hang out at home. And with it being set in the Med it's hard to make sending my sims to other worlds fit my headcanon for how the Sims larger world is laid out. My sims aren't rich jet setters, they're young artists, writers, and chefs.

@DaniRose2143 for "Running around doing stuff"... From your description it sounds like Tartosa is very much like Del Sun Valley, beautiful but with only marginally more lots than Forgotten Hollow despite being large on paper?

@Beardedgeek It's better than Del Sol Valley for residential lots, four empty, plus a rental that you can flip for your use. But it's worse because there's only the wedding chapel and a lounge for community lots. I have several households to add for my story so I had to evict the two premade households to make room. Plus my storyline is going to need one or two of those lots for community lots.

It's a great world for sims who are content with being homebodies or for storytelling that doesn't require a lot of space for a big cast of characters. The limitation with treating it like it's isolated and a long way from the rest of the worlds is really a problem of my own making. It depends on your interpretation of sims geography and your view on how easy it is to travel between worlds.

In mine Tartosa and Sulani are separated from the rest by oceans. So is Windenberg but there is so much to do there and it's so big that isn't a problem. Tartosa is great for some types of storytelling, all wrong for others. It's a bad fit for the storylines I have going now, but it was a great fit for the original. My story took turns I didn't foresee when I started so it's outgrown the world it was supposed to be contained in.
