Worlds in previous games were separated, that's why they could be big, as they were standalone.
I already have no idea where any of my sims are invited, too many lots I don't recognize the names of.
I'm not attacking people wanting bigger worlds, you should always ask your money worth, and tbh I could have used one more community lot in Strangerville but I'm struggling to understand: what are you gonna need space for, your 10th gym ? Your 20th bar ?
Do you only play one world in a new save and never visit anywhere else ?
The small worlds wouldn't be too bad if so many lots (especially the nice, big ones) didn't tend to be already occupied by pre-made families or empty pre-made houses that are too expensive for your sim to afford with their starting funds. The free real-estate cheat has always been frustrating for me to figure out when I'm supposed to plug it in, and I've never been able to get it to work when just starting a save. I also prefer larger lots, because I like to build up to big houses. When I open up a new world and see that the big lots are mostly occupied by starter-unfriendly homes and pre-made sims, it's really frustrating. Newcrest is alright...but we need more blank worlds like that with different environments (desert, urban, tropical, etc.). For me, it's about the freedom to place my sims wherever the heck I want at the beginning of a save. For others, it's about housing multiple branches from their family lineages, or just being able to go into a save exclusively meant for building and not having to evict all the pre-made sims and demolish all the pre-built buildings just to have the spots they want to make the builds they want. That's why people are bothered by how tiny the worlds have been, not because of a reluctance to travel or the desire for 10 gyms or 20 bars.
Well, Maxis is likely to give one more in remaining years, unless extends the development even more, than luckily two. Since there's nothing that shows BG will be receiving more, and we be lying thinking they will be generous to give FIVE.
