EA Should seriously edit Del sol valley
The world is really tiny. I cant get over that. It's so disappointing honestly. The world's are getting smaller and smaller and it's not okay. I'm not paying more just to get less. I was so exited abo...

The uneditable houses/buildings you see in the pictures are just artwork, according to other posts I've read. It's not virtual space that could be used.
That's what they're saying, anyway. I remember how we eventually got to place lots ourselves in previous Sims games, so I can't help wondering if EA can't change this later, as they have before. :)
I doubt it - as the actual design of the game is not like past games. All three past games used actual maps - this game does not. In order to try and give you a map it is of the 2 d drawn version - as how the devs visualize it - but if you tab out while in your game and rise above your actual play area instead of seeing a map like you would in past games - you see little plots of land more or less floating around - backdrop walls and roads that look like ribbons - with really nothing connected to anything. It is just empty space between neighborhoods and nothing solid in between on which to even place any kind of lot.
It is why I am fairly certain you will never have the ability to place a lot or to have a CAW tool without having worlds built on actual maps. I cannot even see how they would ever add a road system to this to even have real cars -it does not compute in my head anyway. Also it makes no sense to me why in a design like this there would be a performance issue in having more lots for our sims as they could technically have all the floating lots they could make technically or at least more of them without affecting performance as nothing is truly connected or solid when you zoom out.
One other note - I will admit I know relatively nothing about this kind of design - so I can only deduct from what I know of map systems and the previous Sims games. It may be possibilities that more might be done - and I am just not knowledgeable enough on this design - I can only speak with certainty on what I do know and compare the probability of what I can actually see - but no I don't know everything and I certainly don't know much about even what I am seeing in this design. I just know one thing - what went on for past games is obviously not a Sims 4 option. It is just made too different than previous Sims play areas and maps.
