I think 12 lots is perfect for a rural world. If we got 16 lots, there would still be complainers asking for larger world. It's not likely they will add enough lots to have all kinds of lot categories in the same world. Different categories came with different packs, and not everyone needs (or wants) to place all category options in their world. Many simmers probably don't even have all those options because they lack some packs. I find it natural that not all my worlds do offer an identical set of community lots. Some residents will need to travel to another world to use a gym, or a library, or a retail store. I guess those wishing many lots per world would lower their expectations if we rather get a way to combine several categories on the same lot. It feels weird that say there can't be a restaurant and a bar in the same building. Or a retail store and a bakery. Or that the museum can't have a café.
Even if we play just one lot (and load hood) at the time, I'm pretty sure the game needs to load all sims in the entire game. Adding 24 new lots with a world could mean adding 24x8 = 192 new sims. Even if we add only 1 sim per new lot, there might be tech mechanisms preparing slots and data strings for all 8. Which would force the game to handle lots of additional info.
Any way, I would personally prefer 24 new lots to come with two different worlds, rather than all in one world (unless it was a new city etc). I wish they will give us world kits some day, and then that one world is bigger than the norm. Or that we are given the opportunity to add more lots to existing worlds (or at least future kit worlds).
