Tartosa is boring, and commentary about same-y worlds in general

I started out liking Tartosa... until I moved a sim there. It's overcast or rainy most of the time. The summer stays warm too cool which seems to be year round there. It's a bit dreary after some game play. As a semi beach type world going to the beach is generally bland as the sun is rarely out. Oddly my sims who live here are sick constantly. Taking dogs for a short walk is rather long. Jogging also takes forever.

I'm just about ready to get rid of it all together. It's just become too drab and boring for me personally.
