Nordhaven World Discussion

The world looks like a mixture of Sweden and Germany.

The world was a little uneventful to me. Besides the name of the world and 2 of the neighborhoods, I wasn't sure what makes it unique or Sweden-esque?

As a Swede I'm not getting any Swedish vibes at all. But then I'm not all too impressed and had wished they'd left a world out of it. It's small (again) - it has very few lots (again) - it has a lot of useless set dressing to make it feel bigger (again)... 

I get that there are so many worlds right now and it's probably a matter of size, but then stop doing worlds and just give us more gameplay. 

I’m swedish too (hej!) and think the world is a mix of all the scandinavian countries. Hope it has at least a little bit of our beautiful nature and not just big city areas.

I hope this world has a 64x64 lot. They don't seem to add that anymore. 

I’m actually happy with two neighborhoods. I prefer two neighborhoods with six lots esch than three neighborhoods with four lots. And 12 lots seems to be the average for worlds going forward. It lets me make a mix of residential and community lots.

I love love Nordic but I really want romantic/dramatic French/Italy in my game.. done right with true gameplay that represents these cultures.. Lets focus on the familia with food, wine country, family trees, agriculture and tradition along with an update to bakeries, cafes and restaurants. 😘

edit: I want swimmable, fishable and houseboats in the French or Italian EP.

The world looks nice. For a short time I thought we would get a Dutch world. As a native Dutch speaker from Belgium, less than 15 min by car from the nearest Dutch city , I would have loved a Dutch world. But the names make it very clear this is Scandinavian. But as with other European inspired sims worlds, it feels familiar enough for me and my sims to feel at home. I have been to Stockholm and it was a beautiful city. 

The big question is will it feel alive when you play in it with enough npc's? Will there be enough collectibles like rocks and plants? Will there be interactable objects? Ravenwood was great in that regard. I hope this world can be as well.

If Nordhaven has 12 lots I am OK with the size. 5 or 6 lots in a neighborhood is what I prefer over just 3 or 4. I hope we can get a good variation in lot sizes. 

Hm, I have to disagree. The previous world Ravenwood has two 64x64 lots and one 50x50 lot.

My first thoughts of the world were that it looked quite boring and plain. I don't really mind it being small though. I am utterly in love with Ciudad as well as Ravenwood and think this pales in comparison. However my sims seem to love basic worlds. I disliked San Sequoia, but it proved to be a good home world! So I'm gonna reserve my final verdict until I've had the pack for some time.
