It is really annoying how people are happy that the world looks pretty. I’m sorry but that is nonsense. That is all this game has going for it. It’s like a vapid pretty shell. The best world that was created recently was for the werewolf pack (they added some world related things. Don’t get me wrong it’s not great but it’s something)and then they went back into the bare minimum effort. San sequoia is such a trash world. I find it ugly and pointless. I don’t care if it was us, Europe or Asia. I care about gameplay and what it has to offer. Looking at something isn’t much in terms of gameplay. There is absolutely no life in it. It’s a shell of a world. There is nothing to do in it. Nothing is interactive (the movie theater would be nice if that neighborhood was more fun). It’s not worth walking around it or visiting. There is nothing exciting about almost all of these Sims 4 worlds. Scroll with your camera. You are done. No gameplay added. I wish they put 10% of the effort from Sims 3 world building. These worlds in Sims 4 feel like a plastic version of the real thing. They are pretty but this is a game. Add something to actually do in them. Here is why I like snowy escape. The pack is ok but the world has some interaction to it. You can interact with the slopes, climbing walls. Hiking is great to actually have a group stay together. It was fun exploring it and it’s still wasn’t a fraction of what sims 3 did. But, it was a start. It doesn’t have to be full open world but stop making these lifeless shells. Look at the content in this pack. They put no effort into it. It’s like they used the entire budget on horses and went here are some horses choke on them. As for the rest take content from previous packs slightly move a hair or shirt length and pretend it’s new. And people just eat it up. You have cc creators coming up with new content all the time. Better more interesting content. Just pay one of them to do content for your pack. You have the budget. It probably would be cheaper. I feel they can just get away with this boring minimum because people’s expectations are very low at this point. Wedding stories doesn’t even work and they didn’t even bother to fix it while simultaneously still selling it at full price. So far I am not impressed with this pack. The buy content leaked and it’s terrible. It lack’s imagination. Hair and clothes are just rehashed content from other packs. The world looks pretty but nothing in the trailer indicated it will be anything but a mock-up. It’s like a sitcom set. So what it’s pretty. And people are so excited. Why? So you can look at it. Its a game. Isn’t the point to play in it? These worlds have no playability. You scaled the open world and butchered content. Add something interactive or surprising or interesting. Something that would make me want to click on things and discover things in the world. You know play a game. Not just look at colors like a mindless bird. They just slap on new lifeless content and rehashed content parading as new in a lifeless world. So far I see the entire effort going into creating horses and focused on animation for that. So far I see another shallow pack. Just another lair that sits on other lairs that has no cross interactivity with other packs and a world that is just there to look pretty. I actually love the idea of American West.and I don’t care if it’s another USA world or Asian inspired or what ever. I want it to be more interesting. But I haven’t seen anything in the trailer that suggests that this world is anything but pretty and lacking in depth. Remember when you could collect things in the world but they never bothered to put those collections into gameplay. Like collect some shells and do nothing with them. It’s like slap this addition that leads to nothing at all. Now they don’t even bother making collections at all. So far not impressed.
What kinds of things would you like to do around the world? In any sims game there was never much to do around the world, everything has always been done on the lots we create.
Sims 3 felt like you were doing more around the world because it was open but you were really using lots.
Unless you mean you want more rabbit holes?
Lately they have given us swim areas walking trails, hideouts (in werewolves) and that nice cliff area, the sort of hidden Greg area where you can fight a cool npc or mess around with him, the underground tunnels, a movie theater. What else would you like to do around future worlds?
