This is a really open question, but basically I was curious to see if anyone has a favourite lot/plot. It’s difficult to play everywhere and I recently discovered my new favourite spot (Fountainview Penthouse in San Myshuno).
I notice for a lot of neighbourhoods, there are a lot of really cool details you miss unless you play there.
My favorite lot has changed over the course of time.
I used to play in Willow Creek on the 50 X 50 lot. This is a reasonable and Sim-friendly replication of a house built by an officer from the Civil war, 19th century, for his bride, that my granduncle and grandaunt used to own. This was always Erik Cantrell's house.

And they moved to the 64 X 64 lot in Windenburg. This is The Flanigan. Built and tweaked this one from a magazine that gave the floorplan. I added the platforms. https://i.imgur.com/gOBy8N7.jpg
I like very large lots because it's far easier for me to maneuver the camera around to really see what my Sims are doing. No, I don't pay much attention to the in-game clock and it never seems to take my Sims very long to get where they're going. (And I tend to be on the impatient side, too.) I also like to play with a full household. I use autonomous and enjoy how my Sims interact, while I concentrate on my would-be Global Superstar. :)
I finally did decide to play in Del Sol Valley. I use the 64 X 64 lot there, too. It's great how it overlooks the city. And perfect for the Teen with high celebrity ambitions.
This is a copy I built of the Sims2 Wright Way House. I placed it in Brindleton Bay, at first but then moved it to Del Sol Valley. https://i.imgur.com/U521cts.jpg
I have since Restarted my Main game save. I use another house I built, far more rustic in design, but it's also on that cliff in Del Sol Valley. Can't find the screenshots at the moment, to share. But, again, it's on the large side.
ETA: Took a new screenshot, yesterday. Here is the house Joseph Cantrell, Sr. inherited from his paternal grand-uncle. Joseph was his namesake.

but i pretty much have favourite spot in every world that I have built about million times over while ignoring all the other lots in the world
but i also am trying to get rid of that habit and realize new favourites everytime I build on lots i thought were totally awful before because they were just badly used
as example i used to really detest spire apartments cause its just so unneededly big but i divided it in half and padumts suddenly its one of my favourites
i used to really hate the empty house in grims quarry but padumts i made new boring suburban with aliens in it and its perfection and it perfectly lines so i could create government spies to spy on them from one of the apartments (which btw i also often sort of hate because first level can't be used but other than that its awesome and the boring appearance just adds to the vibe)
i guess the short answer is just : I like lots that have to be rediscovered because it makes me hyped to continue discovering best purpose for them
initial answer would be: I've built in forgotten hollow about 1000 times more than other worlds but i mean thats just given as its my only spoopy world for spoopy mansions which i love
I have a big soft spot for Forgotten Hollow, too. I love the spoopiness--and the townies, even if the world itself is unforgivably small. I'm hoping that we get another "dark" world like that; I mostly make Sims from dark movies and shows, and it's a bit awkward when you've got the vampire queen living in San Myshuno.
The house that came with Parenthood. I'm big on family play, so it suits my style perfectly, plus the build/buy objects that came with that pack are among my favorites. I usually either put it in Newcrest or Magnolia promenade. Not much yard space, so it helps to have it next to a playground.
I didn't realize Parenthood came with a house. I'll have to check that out!

yeah I'd love gothic city or dark forest/swampy neighborhood...or both... maybe with werewolves... getting carried away I am... hopefully not by werewolf
I have favorite lots in most worlds that I tend to gravitate towards and put all my houses on, my sims usually end up in the same places all the time but with different houses, these are my usual picks:
Bargain Bend in Willow Creek. Mainly because it's the very first lot I built my first house for the game on and so I have a sentimental connection to it.
