EA, why don't you like Europe so much?

I imagine American suburbia is a lot easier to model than "Old World" urbanism -- and frankly, more appealing for most players who want open lots to build on, rather than a small apartment to decorate.

I mean American suburbia is... easy. It's basically just flat lawns, no features and cloned houses with or without a pool.
Even the definition of "Suburb" differs in other countries. In Sweden most "Suburbs" are actually not single family houses but low level (2-5 floors) apartment buildings, basically small towns by American way of defining things.
(To be clear here I love American mid century housing, hence my love for Oasis Springs).

As for education system I kind of get it; if University was free, American players would complain because it was unrealistic to them.

When it comes to appliances American style vacuum cleaners are just abut a gazillion percent easier to animate. Having to animate an european style vacuum cleaner would be a nightmare. Having to calculate exactly how the vacuum would roll behind you as you work would be hard, indeed.

That said I am bored with American worlds in general. I would love another internationally based world, be it Africa, Europe, China or South America doesn't matter. Just not another American one, please.
