I agree. I feel more and more restricted by EA. Worlds are smaller, full of fake houses in the middle of the gameplay area and the lots have weird placement or not matching to the world (for example they are not connected to the roads). I feel I'm forced to play someone's else story instead of my own. I would really have no problem if worlds had more empty lots instead of rabbit-hole or not functional set dressing. I totally don't understand for example why HoB has only one empty lot when the farming is the main feature in the pack. What if I don't want to play premade sims or destroy premade houses?
