For me not having the ability to make my own lots or even edit them makes worlds or neighborhoods boring. Lots is what makes worlds and Neighborhoods exciting or boring. Yes, some of the neighborhoods look great but the downer for me is where I am forced to build or how I built as you cannot expand or shrink the lots, they are all in the same spots. You built a house bigger than the lot that is available, you can try to rotate the house, but you would still have to cut something instead of increasing the lot size. Therefore, my creativity is held hostage by EA/Maxis. It will always come back to comparing one version to another for if there was no Sims 2 or 3 it would be no issue but however there was so I have to compare what I could do and what I can't do now. I wish I could accept the way things are now, but I can't when I know Sims 4 can do better than give me Neighborhoods that are 35% usable and 65% Art. Yes, there is a lot of content in the form of items and a few features which for me is watered down or gimped. I haven't played Sims 4 for quite some time because it is too limited. All said is my opinion and is subjective of course. B)
