I like the walking and jogging trail a lot. Would like to see that feature in other worlds.
Hmm…. Tartosa is of more value to me than San Sequoia because it is different from the other worlds. It is the “Italy” of my saves.
For me personally San Sequoia is a an updated Willow Creek except that we already have Willow Creek, the little world with 4 lots that came with GtW and now San Sequoia. They are just so similar to me that it does not get me imaging any new saves. I like the world but it is just too similar to what we already have for my part.

If the new world feels more individual it is easier for me to dream up a new save. If it is Willow creak suburbs 4.0 there is less new material for my imagination to work with.
That said, my actual playtime at the computer is much more limited than the time I spend dreaming up saves and just playing pretend in my mind. While I wait for the train I might fantasize about starting a new save on that upper map in Chestnut Ridge. It would be perfect for an off the grid challenge with some farm animals. I still haven’t had time to play with an household with horses.
A world that I find interesting apparently makes me look past the fact that I have so little time for playing that I haven’t even tried out the main features for the last few packs.
A new setting for stories is just such a draw for me that I buy it, walk around in it with my sims if I happen to have a surprise 20 min free and spend offline downtime playing pretend sims in my mind on those locations in game.
