I don’t think this change would be as simple as some people seem to think, since elements of the gameplay are already tied to the vacation aspect and would have to be remade, like how the parts of the jungle that you can access are designed to change each vacation - that wouldn’t work if the world was simply made residential.
I don’t expect them to change the jungle part, just the individual lots. And maybe add some swimming area like where you can fish by the dock.
The problem is that they would have to change the jungle part- it’s coded around the fact that sims can only visit while on vacation, so accessible areas change each time, gates reset between vacations etc. If sims can live in the world (or visit at any time without booking a rental lot) this mechanic doesn’t work. Allowing sims to live in the world would require a fundamental overhaul of how the jungle actually works. It’s ok in a mod because users can accept the trade-off that another feature will not work as intended, but that’s not ok in a game update.
