Lucky Palms vs StrangerVille (World Comparison)

I'm afraid I don't understand what you're trying to compare.....

I understand it's an EP vs a GP, and the EP you paid extra for the casino. The EP is set more in the Southwest, while the GP is set more in a place like Arizona/Utah.

The point is to compare the value and quality of each world.

PS: If someone has more pictures of StrangerVille lots, I'll be happy to post them. I just couldn't find better pictures. I'm not trying to be unfair, I think the facts speak for themselves.

Is this another Sims 3 vs. Sims 4 comparision?

Lucky Palms isn't an EP. It's a Store World. It costs +$4.5 than StrangerVille but I think it gives more and better content for its price. The Lucky Simoleon Casino cost an additional $11 and adds 3 new gameplay items, a venue and 8 objects. Both can be bought with SimPoints (which means you don't have to pay money since you can earn SimPoints by watching ads and you're gifted SimPoints when you register some EPs) and are on sale pretty often.

I mean... I don't think it's a fair comparison to take a previous version of The Sims that had different capabilities in terms of processing when it comes to worlds, and put it against a game pack for a different iteration of The Sims that is available on a wider variety of computers.

I loved TS3, don't get me wrong. But TS4 in my opinion is more beautiful, fun, interesting, and available for more users (that last point is not an opinion, that's a fact). To me, the value of a world/pack is not based on how many lots it comes with. Personally, the amount of content matters. That could include A world, CAS additions, build/buy editions, gameplay features, special items, etc.

Why you would compare a game that has large open worlds to a game that does NOT really doesn't make sense to me. It might be better to compare desert worlds within TS4 - Oasis Springs vs. Strangerville, perhaps? But one is from base game and one is a more developed DLC.

I just really don't think this is a comparison that needs to be made.

Lucky Palms and StrangerVille are very, very different from each other. Comparing them is just silly.

Lol but aren’t you limited to about 5 ads a day and to even reach the points needed for that world would take atleast a couple of months ? and you’re not gifted with simpoints when you register an EP, the only EP that did that was World Adventures

It's a world comparison. A lot of people are saying they think StrangerVille is a good deal just for the world. I'm trying to show the decline of quality of worlds from TS3 to TS4.

I got 1000 free SimPoints for every EP I registered. Oficially I think only the base game and World Adventures were supposed to give you free SimPoints, but a lot of people who registered their games recently got 1000 for each pack. It didn't happen just to me.
