Would you rather have World Packs instead of Stuff Packs?

We need more worlds like Winderburg, Strangerville & Jungle Adventure. There were more lots, hairstyles clothing & objects in them.

Strangerville even had a new career for us to play. Would be cool if the world packs had all of those. New hairstyels, new clothing, new objects, new career and a story for us to play (like in Sims 2 Life Stories, Pet Stories, Castaway Stories... but with an option we didn't had in Strangerville, to turn off whenever we wanted).

If you asked me a couple of years ago, I would have said absolutely to having world packs. My opinion is that I actually like stuff packs and I have most of them. They aren't expensive IMO and I've tended to get them here and there. There are still a few that I haven't gotten around to yet but I've mostly liked them even if the themes are a bit strange.

In terms of worlds, I agree that I generally like having more lots and neighborhoods. I also like having gameplay integrated in certain ways so that the worlds are interactive. I'm fine with them coming in GPs or EPs but I agree that they should be bigger with more going on.

Del Sol Valley has too few residential lots IMO even though I'll play it. I have to essentially expel the pre-mades in order to play it and then it will be hard to develop a community feel in either of the residential neighborhoods. Sure, I renovated a house into a family house where parents have moved their kids who will probably grow up to pursue fame but they don't really have neighbors who live near them and they'll be capped at three households in that neighborhood. It just limits you a bit. I get it that the world revolves around celebrities but it would be nice to have a bit more flexibility.

I actually like StrangerVille but I would actually like a couple more lots there. I understand that it's a small town and I want to keep it that way. I'd like to upgrade the downtown without taking out the quirky plane crash or the few houses. I could build up by the rich people but again I'd like a little more flexibility.

I'd be interested in a community voted world pack if they went in that direction or in polling of ideas to produce future worlds. If really well developed worlds came in edition to new stuff, I'd be interested. I'm fine with the SP concept but I think they could go in a new direction with themes.

I am still interested in some new worlds, I basically always get them and find them interesting. If they want to patch in another world like Newcrest, I'd be a fan.

"community voted world pack", @ChampandGirlie you said everything.

Thanks! It would be great if they would do that.

I actually think the idea for StrangerVille came from all the requests for danger and survivalism during the stuff pack vote. Admittedly, it's not THAT dangerous but clearly they gave people the option to create an apocalyptic setting.

I have seen so many people asking for a icelandic world, i believe that the community world pack would end up being that or somethign similar. I would love this idea, tbh.

The more I think about it the more I'm inclined to say more lots. If it takes more worlds to get them then so be it, but what is really needed is more lots per world. And not just pre-set ones, either, but the ability (as in TS2) to decide for ourselves what size(s) we want and where they go. As has been pointed out, everything feels too cramped, too restricted. To take the mentioned Strangerville as an example, I get it that it's a small town, but even small towns have more inhabited places that what EA gave us. More of the space given to artwork houses should have gone to useable houses, some of those stores should have had apartments above them, there should have been more community lots, blank lots, and the option to - once the mystery is solved - use the lab for other things. I live in a place so small there is not even a single traffic light and I've seen more impressive downtowns on a model railroad layout. Even so, I have more than 4 neighboring households.

I've played Sims for so long now, of an on for 14 years. I could continue to play it indefinitely and the fresher they keep the game, the happier I'll be. New worlds, new building opportunities, new ways to interact in the day-to-day life of my Sims...all of this grabs my interest, but I admit to a special fondness for lots and building communities. New worlds with plenty of room to build and grow is my top priority, but I love anything fresh!

Made the interesting discovery about an hour or so ago that TS3 gave us 10 world packs, all loaded with goodies and sims and ready to go, each with a differen theme & related game play. Beats the current diet of mostly middle class America suburbia. If they did it then, why not now? Believe it or not, the last one, Roaring Heights, was rated M. It was based on the 1920s and probablly 30s judging by the box art. That was the Capone & Dillinger era, so maybe that's part of where the rating comes from.

Only if they were basically Stuff Packs with a World.

Seeing how the results are coming, I would say that most simmers on the forums want a World Pack, but as i have forgotten to add that option, I would say that they would want Stuff Packs to be a thing as well. There is no reason, tbh, to exclude one in favor of the another, but i think a World Pack being pretty much a Stuff Pack with a World in it would be pretty cool. We would get a town themed with the SP. I have seen some fanarts creating worlds themed by the SPs we had so far and some of them are such cute ideas.

But, my favorites would be teh Luxury Party and the Perfect Patio ones:
https://simsvip.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/LuxuryParty-230x300.png
First up is Glittering Heights, a modern city with plenty of high rise apartments, luxury penthouses, and rooftop lounges, the ideal location for hosting a soirée or dancing the night away with The Sims 4 Luxury Party stuff.

Glittering Heights is home to a high-class society of wealthy Sims and socialites, which makes this city a thriving hot spot for young rich kids looking to host their next extravagant party! Out of the limelight of the main city is Glitter Harbour, a picturesque waterfront neighbourhood dotted with fancy apartment buildings.

Snowdrift Pines is a chilly alpine village surrounded by towering snow-capped mountains and dense evergreen forests. Fire up the hot tub, lay back and chillax in one of the premium lodges as you enjoy The Sims 4 Perfect Patio stuff.

Nobody really goes to a ski lodge to, you know, ski… You go for the jaw-dropping views and the bottomless mugs of hot chocolate! Cosy up by the fireplace with your special someone and watch the delicate snow cascading from the sky, all from the safety and comfort of your winter lodge.

Would be cool if Spa Day reintroduced Hidden Springs, well know for its spas. I would love me some remake worlds.

I would love to be able to buy world packs, and if they came with added build items it would be even better.
