Secondly We are all allowed to express our opinions and I like the babies the way they are that is a useless age anyways like toddlers. You do not know for a fact that they are controlling giving us a world editor so they can control the neighborhoods I doubt that is what they are trying to do. Its a sandbox game and it has creative tools in it to make it fun and that would be stupid to not give us that creative tool to make our own neighborhoods the way we want to have them. I don't get mad easily either. But it seems like most of you want the series to be cut short so you can get the game you want or for this game to fail and some other company will take it over. Like Paradox did for Simcity. Personally I love the game I want it to continue and I want to keep getting content for it. I don't plan to buy the next version of this game so I want my investment in TS4 to be a good one."pepperjax1230;14695965" wrote:
Agreed but I rather have it when we have like farm stuff so we could make like a farm neighborhood."drake_mccarty;14695949" wrote:You are a downer why post if you are going to shatter peoples hopes and you don't know that for a fact.

Worlds aren't going to be coming faster. Worlds take an entire team months to make )that's why magnolia promenade was just a single neighborhood, because of newcrest).
I don't think people understand what goes behind a sims 4 world. It's not just click and drag and you're done like previous games. Worlds are massive (and small) bits of 3d and 2d facades that are pieced together like a puzzle. Unless you are familiar with game mechanics/code, game design, and modeling. You shouldn't even consider making or editing Sims 4 worlds.
Not true. Magnolia promenade is a single neighborhood because they prioritized creating largely unusable neighborhoods for all of the careers. We got Newcrest months after GTW was already available, and NC is literally a copy/paste job of willow creek with terribly placed lots.
And what are you even talking about with the size? They are not massive, they're extremely small. Even Windeburg is smaller than a world in Sims 3. The creation process is more or less the same as it would be in 3, but roads and sidewalks are now hard coded objects into the worlds. It's definitely not rocket science to create a new world, these people can absolutely get a new one out every 6mo if they wanted to.
Entertaining the idea that it is impossible to edit neighbourhoods and add roads.... Couldn't they at least add pretty rendered templates? Like different themes and ones with different lot sizes for us to pick and chose. Newcrest seemed to use a simular template to Willow Creek and even some of the lot sizes are directly imported from Oasis Springs/Willow Creek just with different backdrops.
I'm not saying it's impossible, but we were told pretty firmly before GTW came out that they didn't have the ability to add onto existing worlds.
We will never see an in game editor that allows us to edit existing road structures. That is absolutely out of the question, but a world creator is possible. It's just a matter of priority, does Maxis feel that a world creator would benefit the game? They saw how many people caught onto CAW in Sims 3 and made worlds that rivaled EA worlds in terms of quality and functionality and all of the user made worlds were absolutely free.
As it is now Maxis dominates the field, a new world can only be provided by them, and they haven't made any statements on a world creator. They've already started using worlds as a selling point on their packs (GT) which tells me they are going to hold off on a world creator so they can use that to sell their packs.
Lol I'm simply supplying the information we have, if that upsets you blame Maxis. I'm not here to shatter hopes and dreams, I'm here to respond to other posters with my opinion that has zero effect on you or your ability to enjoy the game.
IMO the time and place for them to add onto existing worlds has came and passed. I don't need another Willow Creek, or Oasis Springs. They kept them as the primary worlds for over a year, and created new neighborhoods using the same styles and content. They have exhausted the styles there and it's time to move on to new ideas and themes.
Lastly, just because they CAN do something doesn't mean they will. Look at babies, they said shortly after the game launched that they had the tech to make them "free" , but that still hasn't happened. It's a matter of priority, and I wouldn't hate for their main priority to be focused on creating new worlds instead of extending the existing ones we have. Different yet equal opinion to yours, doesn't make me a downer.
Ok cool. I never said anything about wanting the game to end. I said I don't think they need to add onto existing neighborhoods, and instead focus on creating new worlds containing new styles and content.
The likelihood of this game getting a world creator are slim, literally there are many different aspects about the way worlds are put together that could eliminate such a tool from ever being made available. In both The Sims 2 & 3 you could create your own custom worlds at launch, and within the first six months respectively. We are 18 months into this game and have no info leading one way or the other. It's definitely not a priority.
