Too many "fake" houses.

I don't like too many fake houses in a neighbourhood. I prefer no fake houses like the island in windenburg or Glimmerbrook.

I understand if there are a few fake houses but it seems to be a lot of them in EL (only seen screenshots and videos so far) . What bothers me most is the fact that they are in between the lot and not just around them. I like it if playable lots are locatednnear each other.

Same! This is why I love the Windenburg Island, Forgotten Hollow, and Glimmerbrook so much! When I'm building in those worlds I can make them whatever design I want them without the "background houses" having to influence them. Of course anyone can do whatever they want, but I feel to make the lot fit in with the surroundings you have to model it somewhat to the non-playable houses in the background.

For example, you don't have to make Forgotten Hollow all gothic victorian builds if you don't want too because there's no houses in the background to influence the world. So anything you build won't look out of place. I notice gothic victorian builds seem common with builders in Forgotten Hollow (probably because of the lore) but you can literally do dark modern vampire homes and it looks just as good there!

Another example, Oasis Springs is the perfect world for mid-century modern homes IMO but a lot of the non-playable houses are spanish villa themed so it's kind of a challenge to make it work depending on what part of Oasis Springs you're in. This is all subjective of course.
