Looks like a lot of new worlds are being planned

I’m not sure I want to pay for more worlds. Not just because of space, but because I’m perfectly satisfied with the space I already have.
Also it seems a little off to add a bunch of new worlds and act like they’re going to be as big as Willow Creek etc and then they turn out to have four lots.
The only new world I have that I was completely satisfied with was San Myshuno. I don’t want to pay money for space they’re creating just for the sake of it.

But more than half the Simming population aren't satisfied.

Documentation? Oops. Forgot I was in the speculation forum.

All you have to do is look at this forum, gamechanger blogs and videos and other sites, to know Simmers are very unhappy with a new world with only six livable lots. And I would guess just by how upset they are (speculate) that means they do want more and more lots for all the worlds or this wouldn't matter so much.

I'm actually excited to see what new worlds they come up with because apparently SimGuruGrant (was him?) said that one of his favorites is one that is in the works. As much as I love Windenburg and love how big it is, I don't mind seeing Del Sol Valley looking like that because it's an average size that works very well. Sure, the map makes it look like Oasis Springs size but once you go into the neighborhoods you can see that there's a lot of space to walk around, not to mention the Acting lot which I think is so cool.

They better start filling that empty space right away then, because the lack of new worlds to fill such white, open, screen space bothers me like no tomorrow! :grimace:

Worlds with few lots for us to actually play on it looks like. When they cut out lots it cuts out half our gameplay as we need lots to be creative after all seeing we can't edit a single world - all we get is lots and now they are being cut back drastically. When they said they were extending making the Sims 4 - well it made me happy - but had I known this would entail removing even more of our creativity gameplay - I can tell you I wouldn't have been thrilled at all. Bad enough for the first time ever we were already so limited in creativity as it was with no way to work anywhere but on lots - How could this idea to cut them even further be expected not to further disappoint the creative players. It makes giving us a terrain tool that we have waited so long for almost an insult when they take away from the lots we even get to work on.

I just don't get this train of thought...

Sometimes I find myself thinking this is more like - The Sims the movie and less like the Sims - the game.

Well, at least we can now act it out through Get Famous...

I wholeheartedly agree with you. Many of us actually want to play the game, not watch it be dictated to us by people who don’t even know what the majority of fans find fun about a sims game. It’s not fun at all being constantly teased with all the backdrops, set dressing and wasted space you can’t even interact with every time you load up the game.

Why is it that simmers had more freedom 14 years ago placing lots wherever they wanted in TS2? Now all of a sudden we can’t be trusted to place any lots because someone somewhere complained that their Compaq laptop from 1995 can’t run Sims 4 on Ultra settings?? Boo...?

What’s the point of making the game accessible to lower end machines if you have to cripple and excise every ounce of fun and creativity in the process? Even those of us with potato laptops are well aware of how limited the game is. We don’t need ultra settings to figure that out.

Because Will Wright would actually play what he and his developers would build then change it or improve it, he was just as much a player as he was a producer and a developer. Others in the 'office' didn't understand why he played out anything he created but that's why The Sims and The Sims 2 base are so loved. He wasn't part of the EPs for TS2, but he was still overseeing what happened.
