Will current worlds ever be bigger?

@Cynna I love your ideas of fantastic worlds. I pushed it to the limit in Sim City games with terrain like that to build my cities on. :)

Aw, I would have loved to see that. :) I didn't know that landscapes like that were possible in Sim City. You've piqued my interest.

I would love it if the developers scoured the world for inspiration and used their imaginations more.

What would be a suitable idea for both dev and gamer is to create a world which is a travel hub.

Whenever you travel to another world, you can choose to go this travel hub world or not.
It would be soley be amenties and restaurants etc with 15 lots to create yourself and 3 -5 auto populated to support with ideas etc

Then you get a place like real life such as a shopping mall / retail park / multi shopping centre to socialise, shop and go gym etc.

Because you travel to places like this in real life which have little / no residential places available.

It will support the type of Simmers who enjoy building or the ones who like to build characters up and stories.
E.g buying that new TV or checking out a potential partner.

Yes, good idea. I basically use Newcrest like that. My Newcrest is completely full now though.

I wish sims was open-world but it's small and closed. As much as I would love to see larger worlds (or even lots that were connected, as opposed to having to travel), I feel like there would probably be a lot of lag and loading issues if things were all connected.

I don't mind the travel or the lots being separate, but I do wish we had more lots to build with or we could choose the size of the lot (for example, instead of having two 20 x 15 lots in willow creek a handful of 30 x 40, maybe I'd like to have four 50 x 50 lots). I love building, but sometimes I need to bulldoze existing builds to create something new in the same area. Even though I have almost all the worlds purchased, there are still a finite number of lots in each world and eventually you just fill them all up.

Unless I made an error, this is the size so far:
Note: I put "apartments" in with "normal" lots. For 3 worlds.

No idea. But there is a mod for now for it:

For me the Neighborhoods have become nothing more than an big painting with an dash of static lots that retain it's size and dimensions overall no matter what is laid down as far as homes, Community lots, etc, it is still the same ole neighborhood nothing more or nothing less. I am very critical with EA/Maxis on this as this for me stifles creativity.

I suppose I misinterpreted the question when I voted 'Yes'.
"Will current worlds ever be bigger?"

I'd have to say 'No' to that, the current worlds are finished, but there have been add-on worlds already, so every new individual 'world', makes the overall 'world(s)' bigger.

To your point, @Admiral8Q gosh golly I wish they would introduce a World Editor tool and let us edit the current worlds, even if to rearrange/add decorations. (You know, something more user-friendly and integrated than the T.O.O.L. mod.)

Of course, it would be a pipe dream to request lot rearranging/expansions on the current worlds, because that would involve deep environmental editing, both in map view as well as in each neighborhood/block view.

How did you get 394 main lots. I only counted 203

Actually I counted each apartment building as 1 lot in San Myshuno, so 18 total 'lots'. But if each apartment was also included in the count as a 'lot', then Culpepper would be 4 instead of 1.

That being said, if adding this way, San Myshuno would have 26 main lots instead of 18 'customizable main lots'.
Interesting looking at this, San Myshuno is almost on par with Windenburg for the largest world if you take each apartment into count as a lot. But Windenburg also has 3 special lots. So I'd say Windenburg is by far the 'biggest' current world so far. :)

(Keep in mind by 'main lots' I took parks, libraries, museums, bars, etc with residential and empty into sum of customizable main lots.)

(I don't have Evergreen Harbor, so minus my 15 count if you like.)
