If next pack is romance, are you ok with no new world?

Don't see the point in missing out on a new world, when extra gameplay should be added to an expansion pack in the first place

If it's a game pack I don't see a reason not to have great gameplay AND a new world. Vampires has both, also RoM is good with both features.
If it's an expansion pack there is no excuse for not having a new world. Expansion packs are expensive, new world should be included in every expansion pack. I'm looking at you, Seasons.
If it's a stuff pack, then it doesn't need a new world.

Edit. I maybe should've chosen the second option. A new world is important, but so is gameplay and we shouldn't have to choose between them when both can be included.

There are so few lots total that I'd feel cheated without a new world. I'd want to use the pack in my current save, not just new ones and most of my properties are already filled with sims I love and wouldn't want to get rid of for the sake of a new pack.

Already had a romance pack and it was poor in quality. If there were another, it really better be a step up in quality and EA aren't known for top quality with their DLC's on TS4, their recent expacs showed how little effort goes into it when it contains very little lots and households and no real attention to detail. It's like they gave up trying to be new and innovative in their design.

If the likes of Paralives was around right now and they have some really good stuff, this would get EA to actually put the effort into TS4, that's the difference between what they are doing now and what would happen if there was competition. So far all we got is the way EA wants to do it, but that doesn't mean it is going to knock the socks off your feet and frankly i don't expect such things to happen any point this century.

Frankly, if EA aren't going to really put some effort into their packs, they should stick to DLC's with game worlds in them, no matter how limiting they are, at the very least it will be used which is at minimum better than nothing, more than i can say for certain packs that will never get used.

I don't think we should give up features in advance when the Sims 4 EPs are already very light on features. Sims 3 World Adventures came with a ton of stuff (photography, nectar-making and martial arts skills plus 3 new worlds and a ton of other stuff). The Sims 4 team can just do better with EPs.

This. Even if they did focus on features the next pack or patch would break most of them. The only part of the game that doesn't break is the phone harassment. If the devs would, 'ring' "I hear you became friends with ..." fix the bu 'ring' "I hear the best t-shirts..." Aaah!

I dunno, depends what they are planning for the pack, if it's an EP, then it should have a new world. If it's a GP, then I'm not sure I would care about a romantic themed world if it only has 4 lots.

I feel like a romance pack has to come with a romantic looking world where our sims can go and...be romantic? With lots of nice restaurants, parks, nice views, etc.

For me a Romance pack would need a world. I think they can flesh out that theme in an EP while still adding a world. For a family/legacy theme however, I would be ok with getting no world in return for extensive gameplay.

They could add lot traits and some nice looking lots. I can see them adding a new world if they implement the pack as a sort of romantic getaway adventure like a vacation world, otherwise it's just romance, it can and does take place anywhere. They could add some new venue type but I don't think they would add restaurants as those have their own pack. There are plenty of nice looking lots in other worlds we have. I would like a stand that sells flowers and one that sells chocolate and teddy bears, photo booths, picnics, matchmaker, new romantic interactions, attraction system, etc.

No I don't want them to be thinking about world when they should be thinking about improving our sims,romance interactions, couple activities, relationships and adding tons of new animations in every world

and also if they add world id like it to be something we dont have in game in any form so like for example say they did venice or something now would i like the condola rides for my sims yes it be cute but how much of less romantic venice would never be touched upon in the pack cause they didnt think of that

how much cool architectural additions would be missed to add wedding stuff which yes i would absolutely also need

just like when in snowy they thought about snow activities and forgot people need indoor activities as well and japanese culture has some fun things for that too but none of that got added
