Anyone else think that Oasis Springs and Newcrest are pretty beautiful and underrated? I live in both worlds currently and they are just so nice to look at and have hidden gems.
Also I think that Sulani is a beautiful world and one of my top, but a bit overrated. I prefer Brindleton Bay and Windenberg. Beaches of Sulani are beautiful but the mountains of Windenberg are breathtaking. And BB has beautiful view to the sea and beaches.
Underrated: Oasis Springs and, to a lesser degree, StrangerVille. I've often heard people say they don't like the desert worlds in the game because they all look the same. But that couldn't be farther from the truth, not even the neighbourhoods in Oasis Springs look the same, let alone StrangerVille which feels like a entirely different place altogether.
Overrated: San Myshuno, but that's a very personal opinion of mine. I do see the appeal, it stands out from the other worlds in so many ways (the unique big city look, the apartments high above the ground, the sheer size with 30+ lots), but I've just never been a fan of big cities in real life and prefer more remote locations in my game as well. Del Sol Valley is yet another city world I dislike for the same reasons, though I wouldn't say that one is overrated because almost everybody else hates it, too... :D
I really like having sims live in Magnolia Promenade. The fishing spot is pretty, there's a nice playground, with seasons there's a cute little food stand area and a big skating rink in the park. And it all looks really pretty in winter. I think it gets overlooked a lot.
I want to love Windenberg, but I bought Seasons before I got Get Together so basically it's always dark and gloomy clouds, rain and thunderstorms, or freezing cold. And the dog walking path in the vicinity of the Munch house will utterly exhaust your sims. I don't think I'm ever going to enjoy it as much as people who bought that EP when it came out.
Sylvan Glade is underrated, by devs! it could be bigger & livable, i'd love it. would be interesting if we get a fairies, unicorns, werewolves & dragons kind of pack that comes with an expanded & livable Sylvan Glade. it could have an idyllic aspect where fairies & unicorns would convive and then the dark woods where werewolves hide alongside dragons.

I turned off rain and thunderstorms when I got seasons - the umbrellas drove me up the wall
strangerville is underrated - its gorgeous
not exactly overrated but id rather say least favourite is san myshuno - not a big city fan
I would agree that Oasis Springs is underrated, particularly this far along into The Sims 4's development cycle. It's definitely in my top three, as it looks a lot like home. Bedrock Strait is probably my favorite neighborhood in the world, and I spent a lot of time building lots of all sorts on Pebble Burrow.
Oasis Springs aside, I'd go with the following selections for overrated/underrated.
Overrated: Windenburg. This world is a top pick for a lot of people, but I think it's kind of average. I don't think that the architecture is all that interesting, and a lot of the lots are just used for hosting parties that I almost never attend, or at least I didn't back before the invites were broken.
Underrated: Brindleton Bay. I think that a lot of people sleep on this world, but I love the coastal New England aesthetic. Sure, there's a lot of precipitation year round -- I had a record of 19 straight days with rain one summer and just finished winter with 17 straight days of snow -- but my vampires love it.

people trash it cause it only got 5 lots and only activities is fishing and chess
but there is vlad statue in the center looking absolutely gorgeous and the roads are in shape of coffin and the vibes are so good so iconic
like if you, like me are type of person who has once walked roads of peaceful dark village illuminated only by some street lights you will know its a whole vibe one can not live without
also granite falls is super useful if only i could choose what theme i want there cause i can do whatever i want
other than that though my opinions are quite in line with popular opinion i think
windenburg, brindleton, sulani,selvadorada all good vibes to exist in
I don't really like newcrest cause of the odd shell building mix that makes it feel very american no matter what I build
willow creek ive gotten bored of
oasis and strangerville fun sometimes but im just not desert gal and i like colder climates most of the time
del sol can't make up my mind cause its again one of worlds that i find hard to build in cause america vibe but i like parts of it
mt.k also some part very fond of but other part bit eh about
harbor dont have yet so idk
glimmerbrook conflicted about cause the portal always making sound being there and driveways being weird irritate me
magnolia mostly meh but i built some lots there that i really like so its useful i guess
university world..as said makes me feel like im playing university so i don't tend to live there at other times
San Myshuno i like especially spice district but i feel like some parts like arts place feels little dead to stay at
They did Forgotten Hollow dirty. I would have even been happy with it being as big as Del Sol Valley or StrangerVille. There's no neighborhood's, no districts, nothing.
If you want it to look like an actual town, you have to sacrifice at least 2 of the 5 lots for commercial space (in my opinion). I had a diner and a nightclub but that only left 3 lots for families. It's frustrating trying to be creative in Forgotten Hollow, and it's my favorite world.
I'll say the same for Glimmerbook. It's so frustrating building there trying to make what little you have work.
At everyone's praises at Magnolia Promenade, I actually took a look at the lots. I downloaded some renovations for the furniture and clothing store, keep Paddywack as is (because nothing in the Gallery fit it's ecletic vibe and I liked that) and downloaded a bowling alley meant for the free slot. It was either that or search for a restaurant but when I saw the bowling alley I was like "ooooo! Need more of those!"
