Should destination worlds be made livable?

Selvadorada locals (their internal designation being Jungle Native, if I recall correctly) show up all the time in my saves. Well, if at least one of my sims has already been to Selvadorada, that is. There are mods you can use to slow their spawning, but I personally don't mind having them around. If my played sims can travel, why can't they? :sunglasses:

I think I just want that feature... to be able to restrict sims to their world unless on vacation. Also would prefer if sims stayed on vacation when rotating to another household so we could play rotationally with sims staying nearby on vacation and showing up on lots (because I prefer sims to be restricted to their worlds when I play) but that could be just my personal preference to how I would like the game to work, and I know a lot of other players like to let their sims explore the world as they please. To me that just defeats the purpose of even having rental lots as sims can just go where they like from their homes without having to pay money. I guess this is one element of realism I wish the game catered to more. I would love if it cost money and took time to travel to different lots and worlds. It would make gameplay a little harder and more fun in my opinion but I know some people disagree.

Yeah, I see how players more into realism might want that. But I prefer an alternate version of "realism" for this game (or else I'd have to moan about my sims spinning to change outfits or age up, or about seeing any overt signs of magic or other things we don't see in real life, lol). I'd feel like neighborhoods would become pretty claustrophobic if I rarely or never saw any new faces in them. However, I do agree that it would be great if sims on vacation wouldn't suddenly NOT be on vacation just because we rotated out to play a different household for a while.
