Why does everyone hate city living?

I also find the city world incredibly ugly. Some areas are nice, but others are just odd and poorly setup. All of the areas feature entirely too much decoration, which kills my immersion. I'd rather stay in one of the other worlds where the deco isn't thrust into your playable area.

Different strokes, I guess. I think San Myshuno is vibrant and beautiful. I have no problem with the pack. It's not the best of the Sims series, but it adds a flavor and a new "feeling" quality that expands the TS4 world.

I don't understand how the amount of decoration kills immersion. I know it's "fake" in that it's not something we can use, visit or interact with, but I believe its purpose is to increase immersion, and for that, it does work for me.

When people see "fake" houses and backdrops, while understanding that TS4 is not an open world, would they really prefer to see a blank sky and terrain instead?

Lol of course I wouldn't prefer that. With The Sims 4 being a closed world I would expect more in the form of lots - you know, since no more than one is ever being loaded at any given time.

For most of the worlds the decorative houses are outside of the playable area, not so much with the city where they make up most of the neighborhood. What doesn't bother you really bothers me. You know why? Because the city world is incredibly small, not just in size but in contents as well. A lot of the deco buildings are indistinguishable from the building shells, so why aren't they apartments? Do you prefer the functionless shells to the functionless shells housing aparments?

The deco is there to make the world appear bigger than it is. For most cases it works. For the city? They are built almost entirely out of the deco buildings. Waste of space that could be put to better use. As you said, different strokes.
