What Del Sol Valley should have been (edited map image)

Del Sol Valley is infamous from being so small, with only 11 lots. But what could have it been with over 20 lots? Well, I decided to edit the map view image of Del Sol Valley and shaped it to be this hypothetical map of what it could have looked like, and honestly what it should have been in reality...

So here's my edited version of Del Sol Valley with 24 lots:

Would you've been more happier with this, than what we actually got? Better give us the ability to edit existing worlds, right EA?

  • Hello all. I know that I have to win a gold shovel becouse of posting here but I guess that it is better than add new topic about Del Sol Valley. At first I want to add that I was a fan of TS1 and TS2 some years ago. I've stopped to play TS series around TS3 realise and I came back The sims series several months ago (but I bought the game on PS4 year or two ago). Finally I decided to buy my first expanion pack and I've choosen Get Famous. Why? I've expected feeling from The Sims Superstar but with more lots and content. How disappointing was the moment when I saw Del Sol Valley first time. Studio Town in 2003 was realised with 9 community lots. Del Sol Valley has only 11 (more than 15 years later!) and Get Famous also has less content. I really have no idea why Maxis still not updated this map.
  • I love get famous but yea it is half the size of sims 3 EP. However sims 3 store is 2x more expensive than stuff packs. So in the end they might be both equally expensive lol
  • Oh I’d love if there was even just two beach lots there, in the world you can either live in a very run down neighbourhood or the height of luxury, there should have been an inbetween
  • aww the beach lots look so perfect. That would be indeed a lot more fitting in size and number of lots. I don't use Del Sol at all because it is so inattractive in terms of lots. :(
  • I'm wondering though, if those unfilled empty looking spaces on the each map are meant to accommodate future lots like the skating/roller rinks are already.
  • I’m still annoyed by DSV. The density of the backdrop looks great, but the world would have been perfect for me if it had at least 2 beach lots, split the massive 40x30 in Mirage Park into three lots and add one more lot across the street, then add apartments in the downtown area that are similar style to the new ones in the new Eco pack. The devs want to make smaller worlds is fine by me, but Del Sol, which is obviously L.A. inspired, should not have been one of them.
  • I love this ... get famous still my fave pack but the world would have been so much better like this
