1000x yes to this. There's tons of really pretty areas of the worlds without a lot and I can never camp there because the way sims place things in the world is just a mess. Like, there's that open space in the lighthouse island that is basically pointless for anything other than camping.
I just have how randomly everything gets placed in the jungle! When setting up for the night, no some just throws something on the ground-- you plan out the area and set up camp in a logical way.
I really just wish we could edit the worlds more freely. Aside from placing items in ways that make sense, I also decorate a lot with clutter and that's something I can't do just using the sims inventories.
