Yeah I get what you mean. I'm not a big fan of enforced storytelling, and I also didn't like the constant back and forth between lots. But, I did really love the world! Now that the story is out of the way, I never plan to go back to it (it was fine, but just something to get through before I could just play how I wanted to in the world) but I do really love the world and the build objects that came with it. I wish there was a way to remove all the "Talk about Strangerville" interactions that are cluttering up my menu once the story is told, and a way to bulldoze the secret lab so I could use it as a giant lot of my choosing.
