@Simmingal - what do you mean unusable shells?
I mean the background buildings that are there just for background and don't offer anything for the gameplay
while simultaneously
1. limiting builders options with what to build on lots if they want to keep neighborhood architecturally cohesive
2. making neighborhood feel like ghost town because the lots are not close to each other due to the fake houses in between
3. annoying the heck out of me personally
i would have much rather had at least one of the neighborhoods with less of the fake buildings and maybe more of rural vibes so i could then
1. build whatever i want without visual clash
2. pretend my households are only sims living there
3. had more of those hiking etc vibes but living in the middle of that not in a town
4. pretend its time period before those type of houses were built
