Returning Worlds (TS4/TS5)

I'd like that too, but I fear they'd be too small to be able to replicate the worlds they'd be based on. Either way I'm here for more worlds in general!

They could easily recreate Neighborhood 1 from the Sims 1 which later became Pleasantview.

Oh, and... look at these:

There is probably more out there, but... Look how cute they would be in Sims 4. I mean, you can clearly see that some of them are not 100% the same as the originals, but i would be okay with that. It looks so amazing! I just wish that they gave more attention for us, older simmers... I mea... There is a brazilian youtuber phrase that descibres what i feel: "I am a FAN, i want SERVICE!". hahahaha

@Karon Seeing those maps almost makes it tangible - I want to travel there with my Sims now :D

I saw in another thread a person saying that these TS1 / 2/3 worlds / neighborhoods would not work in 4 because they were not just an image that separated into multiple areas. However, I do not see why devs can not divide them into sections like the worlds of TS4. Pleasantview, for example, has a central area, an old area and a modern area.
That Monte Vista also can be divided into 4 parts. The devs are not dumb, right?!

YAAAS. We need that Sunlit Tides really badly in Sims 4.

I definitely don't think that the developers are dumb. They just have priorities that are different than the players and sometimes, hard to fathom. In any case, the creators of those maps actually designed them with sections and loading screens in mind. It's really easy to follow where the divisions should occur. I really don't see why these worlds can't be made. The issue is whether or not the developers care to do them.

Sorry, i wasnt trying to offend the devs. Actually, i know that the person that said that it was impossible to recreate those worlds in Sims 4 is still active in this community. I was just referencing the fact that the SimGurus are developers that studied to be great in what they do, they can work around problems such these.
And, yes, the problem IS whether or not the developers care to do them. Some of them are new to the sims franchise and want to leave their marks on the series, and thats completely okay. I love seeing brand new neighborhoods/worlds being created. Like, i love Babs L'Amour just like i love Bella Goth or Betty Newbie, but would be really cool if they started to interweave brand-new worlds with classical worlds. Throught my life i have learned that nostalgia is one factor that can sell stuff, that wouldnt be a problem.
During Sims 3 lifetime, i remember the day the the series was making birthday (Not sure which year it was, but probable in the 10/15th birthday or something like that) and a cc creator released a super well done remake of sims 1 world and everybody was downloading it, even people who dont like cc like me.

No, no worries!

I didn't take it that you were literally calling the developers dumb. Your question seemed to be more of a commentary on the developers being treated as if they are dumb. Clearly, they aren't. So, I was agreeing with you. Sorry if I wasn't clear. :)

I also agree that it would be nice to see some of those old worlds translated to TS4. Aside from nostalgia, I would like it to happen because those old 'hoods were chock full of lots that all belonged to a cohesive world -- as opposed to TS4's smaller worlds that don't necessarily feel...local...to each other.

It would be nice if the developers would recreate those 'hoods. However, I'm kind of holding out that they may actually make CAW. That way, EA can continue making new stuff and, perhaps, some of the world builders in the community will tackle cities from the older games.

The creators that were always so busy creating new worlds seem to have gone silent for TS4. They've been left behind. Or, so it appears. Perhaps a CAW program would bring them back because they rock. They have always pushed the envelope in ways that the developer's can't. They didn't have to operate under the same constraints.

Anyway, I went off on a tangent there. But that's my wistful thought for the day.

Part of the problem is that a lot of those worlds were from an expansion pack. But Sunlit Tides, Roaring Heights, Monte Vista were WONDERFUL additions to Sims3.

Hmmm.... I would def buy World Packs. A new neighborhood, with some new build/buy items, clothing, pre-made sims. I might even not mind no new gameplay, as long as it seemed like a complete new world.

Heck, I'd spend §9.99 on Strangetown, Sunset Valley, Bridgeport, etc..
