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

I'm totally fine with no new world. I'd be overjoyed if a new pack focused on my creations instead of adding new ones.

I really want more gameplay that fleshes out my Sims on the homelot (or in any world) instead of a new world where you can do one or two new events. I find myself rarely visiting other places as it is.

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

Doesnt matter whether the pack includes world or not since the latest few worlds starting from del sol valley is small and contain too many fake houses. but i take gameplay over world any day

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.
