Agree to this! I always create a detailed backstory for a new world, and doing that before release is a perfect way to build up for a new pack. Details can be adjusted later as needed. A map is essential before getting started, though. Like, the water park might reflect this world's past - the name "Wharf" and the spotted whale, might be used to draw the back carpet of a town built on early maritime trades, but I really need to see how the harbor looks, if there is a river for old industry, or if there are islands right outside that might have been used to protect the original village. By seeing the map I can make up so many story lines, also lead up to sims living today.

I'll find some existing families living elsewhere that actually hails from San Sequoia. I already decided parts of the story, but need to double check a few things... Hoping for a map leak!!!

yeah it would be nice to see the world map and lot sizes
if not to start building then at least to start scheming

I decided to build a bigger house with a first floor nursery and adjoining butler's quarter's but I forgot the music room and the house itself is rather to large with 7 bedrooms on the second floor. Straight up I hate the house and can't find my save with my first ever grandbabies, things aren't' going well in game or RL.

We're 21 Days Away and even less for that with the Gameplay Trailer and Livestream.

I would also like to see the map, but, I never have moved any of my Sims to Copperdale, and so far not inclined to change where they will end up, this go-around. But, it would be nice to see how many lots and of what size, just in case I change my mind.

I expect bugs in the new EP. I expect the standard advice to be to remove all mods. One of the things I did was start my game over from scratch and it is something I plan to do again. Mostly I am taking the time to visit places that I have never visited and I am taking notes of the resources there. I am not building anything grand and using any excess funds to pay for vacations.

For building, I am learning to build 2x2 and 2x3 and 3x3 homes. And the cheap living expenses leaves plenty of money for vacations.

I am trying to garden only with things found and not buy any seeds or plants.

Instead of waiting for more, I am figuring out how to efficiently use less of everything. Instead of rags to riches, I want to figure out how to make rags fun.

I have been so angsty for the pack, too! I just keep reminding myself that for as bored as I am now, that’s how busy I’m going to be once the pack is out, LOL!
