Preferences for Neighbourhood Layouts?
Hi all. I wanted to ask what people's preferences are for the way neighbourhoods are created in the worlds. Do you have favourite neighbourhoods in the game? What do you like about them? Somet...

The worlds are just too small. I like separate areas - like one area for businesses with a lot more than 4 lots and several areas for residences with a variety of type of places to live with at least as many empty lots as they have pre-done lots. If they have 6 families in a world - then we also need 6 lots with empty residence already built and another 6 lots totally empty to put our own designs in.
I still won't use San Myshuno for many reasons out side of a place to go to festivals and to make friends. I object to many things - but number one is the fact we cannot even build a single apartment building ourselves - never mind the fact there is no residential homes or duplexes period and what about shopping and other types of city type entertainment? San Myshuno represents city living - when in fact it is like a street corner or a couple blocks of a city - not a city at all. It's like welcome to the city block party - not welcome to the city. I mean who every heard of an entire city smaller than all the small towns we already have in the game. Fake backdrops is nothing but a deception and the only reason they can even call it a city.
Cities need stores, lots of parks, restaurants, movie theaters, clubs, museums, galleries, offices - big business, but cities also hold every variety of living style one can find - not just a few brownstones.
I saw people posting on facebook a while back asking what city was San Myshuno even based on. I said probably none as really what about that place looks like a real city - the painted 2 d back drop where your sims cannot even go? It's like a great big lie and then they insist it is a city world. What world exactly - Barbie Land?
I know it is a game - but jeez don't call things something they are not. They just need lots less fakery and a lot more useableness in these worlds. Real places our sims can go and live. My sims can't go into fake buildings. I mean, rabbitholes in the last game were bad enough (and got constant complaints) - but by golly at least my sim could go into the things and get options. Exactly, What is the point of pictures of fake buildings anyway but to waste space we could actually use in this game for if nothing else but to place lots, to build our own buildings then.. The fake needs to go away - period. It's a game, not a picture book.
Something to consider anyway - seeing most of us are not 12 - regardless of what age they were hoping to attract. Incidently even the 12 year old also complain about this - so technically it has no point.
