Don’t get me wrong, I’m loving pretty much all of the new features in the expansion. But I was really excited to have a new town to play and build in, and then when I actually got to see it in game, only 6 residential lots?!?!? And three of them are already taken?!?!? It’s a total bummer. I was so hoping to have an ocean facing lot to build a beach house on. I was hoping to have some cool, developed space to expand into. It’s such a disappointingly tiny town though, and there are exactly zero lots along the beach. I’m kinda floored that it’s such a cool concept for the town and could have had some really versatile looking lots, and it’s just sort of empty instead. Anyone else kinda bummed out about the size?

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/DslpeabVsAAdjsA.jpg:largeAt first, I was. The only available lot in the best part of town is roughly double the size of what I prefer to build on. Tonight, I built a Mid-Century style home that's a raised ranch style. I built it on the 20x20 lot on the island in Windenburg, but I'm thinking about replacing Ward Park with it. In my game, no one uses the park and it's going to waste.

That is why I am waiting patiently to pay the price it really deserves. I am interested in it but not at full price as the neighborhood is small with an lot of artwork that really does nothing for me and should have been an GP.

Think the majority of people have been, since it is an interesting concept and unique town especially having another city. At best just wanted maybe two more lots at best. I honestly wasn't expecting any overly large world considering Get to work had like 4 retail lots for a world being the smallest one to date. Another city related lot and definitely was wanting sims to live in another one that wasn't a suburban area.The pack itself is still amazing and haven't thought much on the world with so much to do.

Try eating in a restaurant with your families on rotation, or go to a club or do anything when a celeb move to your town so you can move another starlet to studio town. When they show up - in restaurants - eating for your other sims - forget it. Partying for your other sims or work outs at the gym - forget it. Your sims will starve. Your sims just gawk. Worse decision they ever made was not having enough lots for plenty of stars in the new world. You shut off their fame and you have wasted all that time getting them famous - so what is the point?It was a great concept - then they fouled it with no housing for them in LA.

Same.My mind works differently than EAs.They said some worlds will be big and some will be small.Well this one is a city with beachfront possibilities.This is the one that should have been big. I am making it work though.I sacrificed two lots in Starlight Boulevard and made them mid-range residential. We need lots that fall in between the starter lots of Mirage park and the Luxury homes in Pinnacles. Although I don't think Mirage park is really for starter homes. The lots are too big. The surrounding fake housing look like starter homes.I deleted the Museum and replaced it with a CyberCafe with a movie set copy inside.Studio BPB has been moved to the Pinnacles area and replaced with a Dance club with a nice VIP room on the top floor.I can live with it, but I believe EA miss a golden opportunity for a truly awesome world in TS4.

The more I read about this EP, and the complaints, the less impressed I am. That's sad, because I really liked some GPs in this game. The EPs don't seem to cut the mustard for me in this game. Even half off, I can't see anything here that would make me buy it. It's the opposite, it's one of those EPs I put on a do not buy list when looking around at games on my wish lists, and remind everyone, no don't get me this for Christmas.

This happened a few times these past three years where family went ahead gifted me GTW and GT etc. but then I did get some gameplay out of those, until they bugged out, but this one is going on the don't get this list. I'm not joking, I really wouldn't want it, nor it's bugs and or it's gameplay.

I still say it’s worth getting for the actor career and fame aspects alone. I haven’t had any issues with features. I’m still enjoying playing an actress on her rise to fame myself.

Just don’t go into it expecting to have a nice big town to move into and build/design in like I did. That’s where my disappointment came from. I was excepting a town at least close to the size of Willow Creek. Del Sol has a grand total of 11 lots. The only town smaller than that is Midnight Hollow (I don’t count magnolia promenade because it was designed for business lots in specific, not residential, though you can make those lots residential if you choose.) How on earth does a town so entrenched in a Hollywood style career have the second smallest town in game?

The features are great. The new career is great. I just wish they would have paid the same attention to make sure the new town was as great as the other features.
