For this specific world, I'm fine with the amount of lots. Normally, I like worlds with more lots. I really liked how Evergreen Harbor added different types like apartments and rowhouses that the player could customize. For this pack, I think the way that they did it is great. I also liked the GC lots in Snowy Escape so I will probably like these.
I won't be adding a gym to this village but I can see that someone else might. Random villages and small towns sometimes have random businesses. As someone else said, the lot sizes will matter for this one for having workable farms and open space like you find in countrysides.
Del Sol Valley was too small for the type of pack that it was, it seemed to be narrowly focused on rags to riches for one player - start in the starter neighborhood and end up in the famous one. If you wanted to add more complexity or just play an LA neighborhood, there wasn't a lot. They also should have added an LA beachy neighborhood.
For this one, if the outdoor world is pretty detailed, I'll probably be happy. I'll need to see the actual map and set up. I do think it is a good point to make that some of us like to have empty lots so we don't have to tear anything down to build or add downloads. I used to like adding the bonus lots that came with some of the packs or I would customize. For example, I now have an actual functioning hotel in Sulani that I built on my own in an empty lot.
