\r\n\r\nMaybe I'm not 100% on what you mean by suburbs as I'm not American, but I don't see how you could build any type of house if it's a suburb? I thought the suburbs are like Willow Creek, Newcrest, Evergreen Harbour (except the port section) and such where building any type of house doesn't make sense. The builds look a bit like those worlds which is a shame as we have so many American suburban worlds, yet so many parts of our world have zero representation.\r\n\r\nI'm with you on the blank worlds though, another Newcrest but in desert or somewhere with no shell buildings do you could do any style would be a dream. \r\n\r\nMost American suburbs, especially older suburbs, have a similar aesthetic but are not 100% uniform. Perhaps you are thinking of the types of American housing developments you may have seen on television, which are very uniform and cookie cutter, but that's more of a post-1990s phenomenon. (One of many reasons I was adamant about not buying a house in one of those communities!) My own neighborhood is predominately a mix of Tudor, craftsman, Victorian, and ranch homes. Lots of brick and stone, and similar landscaping, so the over-all effect is still very harmonious, but not at all identical. \r\n\r\nIn the same way, in some of these TS4 neighborhoods, sure, there are some houses that would look out of places, and there's a focus on regional architecture they have added in B\/B, but you do have options for variety. That being said, I would also love a completely blank world or two!\r\n\r\nIt's also ~1946-50 to provide housing for the returning war veterans that were getting married and starting families.","format":"bbcode","dateInserted":"2023-02-05T00:55:26+00:00","insertUser":{"userID":3229195,"name":"Oldeseadogge","url":"https:\/\/forums.thesims.com\/en_us\/profile\/Oldeseadogge","photoUrl":"https:\/\/us.v-cdn.net\/5022015\/uploads\/userpics\/809\/nBBSAJ1YIDC52.jpg","dateLastActive":"2023-02-05T01:52:27+00:00","banned":0,"punished":0,"private":false,"label":"Member"},"displayOptions":{"showUserLabel":false,"showCompactUserInfo":true,"showDiscussionLink":false,"showPostLink":false,"showCategoryLink":false,"renderFullContent":false,"expandByDefault":false},"url":"https:\/\/forums.thesims.com\/en_us\/discussion\/comment\/18226443#Comment_18226443","embedType":"quote"},"loaderData":{"type":"link","link":"https:\/\/forums.thesims.com\/en_us\/discussion\/comment\/18226443#Comment_18226443"}}}},{"insert":"Yes and no. The type of planned communities that all look alike, have strict HOAs, etc., are a later development. I live in one of those postwar neighborhoods you're referencing, in a house built in the 40s (and grew up in a similar one), and it's a very different thing. No HOA, less uniformity\/conformity, etc. Like I said, those older neighborhoods tend to be aesthetically harmonious, but not cookie cutter like so many of the newer neighborhoods.\n"}]
