I can't speak for anyone else, but what I really want in most cases is a world filled with a mixture of sizes: mostly 20x30 or 30x40, with a few 20x15 or 20x20, a couple of 40x40 (I actually really miss the square lots in general, I find them more harmonious somehow), and only one or two really large lots. And I want them in places that make sense.

I guess I’m in the minority that loves small lots and wished for more of them lol. ? I’m loving this new world haha.

I like them for starters.
But this world features the high school as major game play and I would prefer to have families in this particular world.
Large ones. Because of this all of the current sims in large lots will be removed and replaced with my own sims.

I don’t want to move any families there. I rather think of it as it’s own campus.

It looks like there’s 12 lots - but 2 are important school ones

Of the 10 lots - 3 are Premades. I’ll just keep them there to converse with my sims.

Of the 7 lots - 1 library, 1 thrift tea, 1 arcade, 1 coffee shop. 1 park, 1 mall and 1 ice cream shop

I’ll give all the lots the “teen hangout” and create teen clubs that meet at different locations. I can also have rival teen clubs.

I think the clubs will be “Populars” “Studious” and “Pranksters” - I might change the names but that’s the gist

I don’t play teens too much so I’m glad there’s some premade ones to fill up the clubs

I do love them, and want more of them than we usually get. I just wish everything wasn't feast or famine. I like small lots for certain things, and medium sized lots for other things, so I wish we had a mix of both in every world.

I will let you know that the pier does have an ice cream shop if you wanted to add something else.

That’s awesome! Because I just decided to move Iggy Pancake and his girlfriend Olivia Kim-Lewis there. Their parents passed away in a fire at a house party, but they are in love and living together.

It was crazy! I’ve never seen 4 Sims all die from fire. They must have nerfed it since then.

Anyway, they can be head of the clubs. (Iggy - Pranksters) (Olivia - The Populars and Studious Students)

I think when I get the pack (I'm almost certain that I will get it in sale) I will probably try to customise the school to fit the aesthetic of the game I'm playing at the time.

There's nothing really wrong with 20x15 and 20x20 lots, I'd much rather have them then the maxi lots. It did strike me as odd that they went so heavy on those sizes since it's a first if memory serves. I prefer 20x30 and 30x30 for households of 3 or more, and I usually reserve the small lots for newlyweds without kids or pets and singles. It's my preference at the moment, we'll see in a month or two from now how I feel about it. Moonwood Mill completely changed my mind on small worlds, no reason Copperdale can't do the same with small lots. I'm game for learning how to build for households of 3 or 4 on a 20x15. Mostly it's an issue I created for myself, I never tried to build multistory small lots. I always kept them as single story homes.

I will always hope for end-user customization of lots as right now Imo it is always less than more and a whole lot of usable landscape. For now, I have to make do with what is given.

In the livestream there were a lot of students in the cafeteria. I hope it will be the case in game. Because at the cafeteria in the university pack only my active sim eats there. It is empty most of the time except for one or two students coming to chat or do homeworks.

At least the cafeteria worker showed up in your game. In my game, my sim would have starved if it were not for some students who brought different dishes of food to the dorm all the time. :lol: I saw in an early preview video that everyone on the school lot eats at the cafeteria, including the principal.
