Make-yourself-simulator vs dollhouse simulator
Has anyone noticed the shift in marketing? It seems as if they're catering to a very specific kind of escapism.

Of course they can. It's called personal preference. It's entirely in the perspective of the player and their gameplay needs. It's like arguing which is better... Coke or Pepsi, PC or Mac, McDonald's or Burger King... no one is "right".
I also like the Sims 4 worlds much better than Sims 3's and even Sims 2, which is my favorite iteration. I'd prefer some of them weren't as small, but I definitely like having a large variety of environments to choose from and the freedom to jump easily between them. And aesthetically I like them a whole lot more than the others.
As for functionality, they do fall flat where lots cannot be changed or moved and there is no environmental tool. I want nothing more than to bulldoze all of the playgrounds and cookout sites. So that was a very bad design choice, in my opinion. But even so, I still like Sims 4 worlds better in general.
Functionality is what he's arguing though. He's arguing the worlds function better, not that they're prettier. They are - I agree. But they don't function better by any given metric, even if you call it a "preference".
Edit: also, im not talking about the base worlds. I.e. strangetown vs sunset valley vs oasis springs. I'm talking about worlds as a concept, as a function.
