What I’m really excited about, is judging from the screenshots we’ve seen of Glimmerbrook (not the hidden world) it looks to be a simple world with water and fauna. Apart from the Portal itself, this world looks like a world builders have been asking for since 2014! There doesn’t seem to be any decor houses and the world seems pretty neutral which means builders have free capacity to build however they want without the decor houses clashing with the other builds. What are your thoughts builders? I think this is pretty much the only Sims 4 world where there aren’t any decor houses floating about except for Windenburg Island and the Residential area of Strangerville. I’m hoping EA will start adding at least one or two neighbourhoods per world where there aren’t so many decor houses heavily influencing what kind of builds work.

I agree. I am excited to see the lots and their surrounding views, but it definitely looks like things are spaced out with distance between the houses. I may go in game to granite falls and use a lot there to build my witch's cottage.

I'm excited as a non occult player to use it for decades challenges. I'm tired of seeing skyscrapers in the background of my 1890s farmhouses. Lol.

i really hope there aint fx houses like it seems in screens if they kept it clear its pretty much perfect world for me to move my sims in

Glimmerbrook is AMAZING for Builders

Totally agree, and I also hope that there will be more neighborhoods like that in the future!

Agree! Really want to know the lot sizes, especially the larger ones.

YES!!! Even if my dear island in Windenburg is broken, there are random sims walking everywhere, it is still one of my favorite places to live. Just because I can make it into anything I want.

I agree. I'm really looking forward to seeing this world up close. I've been wanting a world area that appears more rural.

Forgotten Hollow doesn't have any random background buildings either!

But honestly I don't really pay attention to the buildings in the background when I build; they don't influence my builds at all. It's worse when I'm actually playing there, and trying to do something historical, while the scenery is all wrong.

Yeah, I don't know why the island would have so many random sims walking around. Kinda breaks the immersion when I'm trying to play a literal viking farm there, off the grid and everything. It's like, who are all these timetravelers? Go away.
