Should Devs update old worlds?

I cant say i know what this even means. but im not gonna use a yes option cause thats all thats there.

but i say No anyway, what we need is a world builder software and/or more new worlds.

the sims 4 is already lacking in worlds and of the few that we do have some are even locked in as vacation worlds.
This game should have been named "The Sims 4: Limitations" cause thats all it is, how many limitations you can put on the Sims Franchise and still get people to spend money. we need new worlds

How about adding pools to the desert world, what kind of sadistic world doesn't have pools to cool down the heat of the desert

I woul prefer to just have new worlds. If anything the only update I would want is for them to add a secret location for every wolrd, I would prefer new ones.

Noooo i don’t want my saves getting deleted no no no!!!!

Definitively would love to find festivals in other worlds than San Myshuno, or randomly generated strays.

This right here may be the answer that pleases everyone.

The way to possibly update existing worlds is to create new neighborhoods attached to that world.

Neighborhoods within a world are separated by loading screens anyway. So, I wonder how difficult it would be to add new neighborhoods without touching the rest?

The new neighborhoods wouldn't be 'secret', but they could be a much needed addition to worlds that are already much too small.

Of course, the map would need to be updated (which EA has already proved is possible). Make use of all of the dead spaces that exist on the map already.

For example, IIRC, San Myshuno is an archipelago. How hard would it be to create a new neighborhood that consists of beaches and shops and, perhaps, a few hotels?

Since the game already makes use of portkeys (elevators and boats) and gateways (trees, bushes, and mine entrances) it would be cool to add updated expansions to preexisting worlds in exactly the same way.

In the case of San Myshuno. If you want to get to the new part of the world, just take the subway. As, they're already there, make use of them.

I dunno. It just seems to me that every world in every game since the first was capable of being modified/expanded, in some fashion, without destroying existing saves. What makes The Sims: DIY any different?

If there really is something that makes it impossible to expand or update existing neighborhoods, well, shame on whoever the person(s) were that green-lighted such a project. Expansion and the ability to modify as the game progresses should have been on the list of must-haves since the point of conception.

I doubt they will ever update them. The didn't do it in 3 to change the water levels so we could boat in the old worlds so I doubt they will do it in 4. At least in 3 there was a world editor so people could update it themselves, we are screwed for 4.

Let's just say the devs agree to update Willow Creek to whatever your idea of an update is. Let's not even think about the fact that not everyone might even want that particular update that you want, so let's assume everyone does. If they update Willow Creek, it will break everyone's save that has a WC in it, which is every save anyone has. I have eight saves I play or build in at one time or another, so every save would be broken.

Now if you want, let's say, ocean swimming, it would be possible to add ocean swimming to every world after this point without causing any problems in your old saves. I know you're probably thinking that all you want is to swim in WC's ocean. How can that possibly break every save? They wouldn't be able to add ocean swimming to WC. They would need to redo WC with ocean swimming and replace the old WC in our games with a new WC, basically starting over with a clean version and losing everything we've done in WC to date. I don't see this happening.

When ever has any game ever thought what everyone wants before they add something? The "gender" patch was completely useless for me I did not want it and it was not optional and it broke some of my cc this is just how Sims works but at least with updated worlds it would give us more to do in the empty basic worlds that offer nothing beyond exploring gathering and fishing spots.

Hey, if you want to be able to swim anywhere, then every world is going to need to be updated.

I made a discussion on this a little while ago. I think developers should create new districts (along with the lots within them) to existing worlds. This way there is new content and it does not put existing lots at risk. The existing worlds are so small!
