The Sims 4 worlds are way too small !!!

When we were told how many lots max including commercial and residential, I plotted it out on paper. I knew long before this just how ridiculously small this was going to be. Looking at screenshots of the various neighborhood angles I could tell that it wasn't spread out, very compact. To see the size of the map now, no surprise whatsoever. To see the style of the map, utter disappointment. Did they run out of watercolors? It's soooo... freaking app-y. Facebook-y, and not in a good way.
