- What we really NEED is something the old console games used to do which was amazing, but it’s to allow lots that aren’t perfectly square.
It’s so painful and unrealistic to see builds packed to the fullest and it be a full square outline.
The console games used to build the worlds the exact same way as the Sims 4 does, it’s possible. "Cynna;c-16704440" wrote:

I don't really see the need for bigger lots. What would be better than that is if they would somehow manage to allow lots to have more than one type. Allowing the player to properly have a home/shop, or a gym/spa etc
Yes. <3
Also, I hope that the developers will consider objects with smaller footprints. Some things in the TS4 are disproportionately large for their intended purpose. If objects had reasonably-sized footprints, it would be possible to have more activities on a lot.
For example, compare the arcade games and pinball machines from the previous games to the size of the one monstrous arcade machine that was released for TS4. I would much prefer to have a variety of smaller objects than one huge object that shows up on practically every lot because there are no other options.
Another example are the dining booths. The corner seats takes up so much space, yet they can only fit two Sims? As large as they are, they could have seated, at least, four! I had hoped to see sectional sofas again. However, I'm scared to think how humongous they'll be. :/
Aside from the above, a 64x64 lot could hold plenty.
The arcade machine is large because it's designed for 4 Sims to play simultaneously, like this RL arcade game:

because it came in Get Together which was focused on groups of Sims doing things together. I could see a University pack possibly including smaller arcade games, such as we had in Sims 3."Movotti;c-16703876" wrote:

I mean why not? A 64x64 lot wouldn't be big enough if we got an amusement park pack. The rides alone would take up a lot of space.
I can easily imagine a Luna Park size carnival in 64x64. Ring it with a roller coaster, then there's plenty of room in the middle.

On Twitter. Grant said it.
I dont think its possible, it may push the game engine beyond its limit
If it was a free patch then then the min system requirements will change and alot of people will have stability issues (Sims 3 all over again) - There is a limited number of sims the game allows on a lot at one time. I can’t remember the exact number. I think it’s 20 or less. Anything bigger than 64x64 would make the amusement park feel like it’s going out of business.
- Sigzy_29New SpectatorI don't really see how that's a feature, certainly not a gameplay one. But they still need to give us a new world for any new lots (sizes).
- I don't mind the 64x64 lots, atleast for living on. I can fit every activity on it. Maybe for venues though that would be nice like malls
- I would be happy if we just got more 64x64 lots.

I doubt we'll get bigger lots and I can imagine they would instead add a whole world (normal world or vacation world) for amusement parks with proper backgrounds.
