Lucky Palms vs StrangerVille (World Comparison)

Even if you're just comparing the quality of the premade lots, it's an apple to kittens comparison, because, the lots in StrangerVille were specifically designed to go with the story. And it doesn't even matter, because I can easily find amazing builds on the Gallery in the blink of an eye.

As far as the number of faces in the objects, the Sims team is purposely keeping them lower to cut down on lag.
