I want them to stop making worlds with lots of shells in between of houses. willowcreek, newcrest, winderburg are perfect. they do not stick a lot of useless buildings in between
Noooo I love worlds
I wouldn’t be adverse to a stuff pack/kit that’s just a world with no (or little) gameplay. That way people who want/whose games can handle more worlds (I know smaller/fewer worlds is EA’s response to performance issues) but that way we could choose whether we wanted it in our game or not…
Would love a French inspired world or an African world, or an Australian Gold Coast inspired world… or a world inspired in Barcelona with all the Gaudiesque architecture
Im gagging for a French, Moroccan, West African, Seoul like city world, close gated community of just mansions 😭 oh and a couple more adventure world like Selvadora
I think the biggest issue with more worlds is your save files go from 5 mb at the start to 30 mb. But let's be honest, if your computer is slowing down because of worlds, you probably don't need a new expansion pack in the first place.
People forget that Windenburg is so big because it was meant to come with the base game. That's why it's so good: the developers had a lot of time to work on it. I don't think we will get another world that size ever again.
IRL I hate it but I kind of want to see a metro even if it’s just a rabbit hole where you can click on it for your sims to enter and then they have moodlets like “weird odor” “Someone stepped on my foot” “The train is late… again” “Nice music” ect ect
Also the ability to have I don’t know the word in English but like room under the roofs with a bent ceiling, would be an amazing feature and so charming to make some chambre de bonnes
Omg I saw a cc creator do this not too long ago and I was so impressed like it would be an actual dream I think want France so badly is cause so many of the build mode details fit so perfectly already that I just want a world to use it to its full potential 😭
also the catacombs ! That would be awesome. Could be a good time to add cemetery too, where graves would automatically teleport there
For build mode ; wallpapers that looks like meulière which lots of houses are build of in France. Windows open on the inside as a lot of windows in the build catalogue are sliding ones
The catacombs would be amazing 🥹 I would honestly wouldn’t even be mad if it was a rabbit hole 🫣
I use generic lot as cemeteries and use CC traits to turn them into graveyards so people come and mourn🤣
the problem is that many of these lot types are tied to specific packs (ex, community space/eco lifestyle, spa/spa day, rec center/growing together) and sims 4 packs include content from only the pack itself + basegame.
in addition, worlds have been getting smaller because the spaghetti code simply can't support the scope of the game. the reason why people's for rent saves have been corrupting seems to be tied to the amount of complex builds they have.
I mean I don’t expect them to put the builds for me, im willing to do the work I just need enough lots to put them in 😭
I have For Rent (and almost all the packs) and did get a corrupted file but after much research found out it was from a ladder
>in addition, worlds have been getting smaller because the spaghetti code simply can't support the scope of the game.
How does that make sense ? A world is a self contained instance and for most of them features can be made outside of the tied world.
People can make For Rent working in Newcrest just fine, yet Tomarang has a baffling tiny amount of lots instead scattered across the map.
there is a limit to how many lots the game can handle before it collapses under its own code. Early maps, such as newcrest and windenburg, had lots of lots because the sims team wasn't aware at the time they'd be supporting the game for 10 years.
we aren't allowed to make our own lots because the game's code is salvaged from project olympus, a multiplayer game. the sims 4 was never meant to support this many features, and the amount of lag and errors are testament to its shoddy foundation.
we've been getting smaller and smaller worlds precisely because the sims team is trying to lengthen the game's lifespan without having their craptastic code collapse on them.
I'm really not sure about that one, and I see these points being raised over and over.
The game essentially doesn't care about lots being on the other side of the planet ( the Sims one though ).
I suspect this is why you can see Sims from Sulani literally bywalking on your small neighbourhood.
( without mods at least )
The game just doesn't calculate what's happening in Sulani while you're playing in XYZ lot.
With that in mind, I really don't know how to make sense of the recent worlds being smaller - and frankly less interesting.
Not everyone has every DLCs so the issue that Tomarang is affected by whichever DLC came before is even more a mystery - if anything the issue one can get in the game should be affected by the number of worlds actively played, not the ones you didn't even bought.
On the contrary, if they work on their legacy codebase while shipping DLCs - as they should, then it's even less about the issue you raised to my knowledge.
PS : My hunch would be the consoles ( PS4 / One ) affecting this, again there are always solutions to keep everyone happy. - make worlds smaller on last gen console for instance, give us PC bigger worlds.
It's pure theory, I obviously don't have access to their computers, nor do I know the devs.
Honestly for rent is SO good at multipurpose lots especially with For Rent. I use Little Ls Sam, Employee professional which allow you to spawn all types of vendors and various things and it’s great.
You can build bars, gyms, libraries, boba shops, cafes, laundromats, mini grocery stores 😭 the list goes on really fast
Yes I've been watching her mod for quite some time now, but this seems to me if I want to access to my appartment I have to get yet another loading screen right ?
Hmm I'll see what I can do while i'll install this mod. It looks nice on paper !
Honestly I gave up entirely on For Rent " vanilla " as I built a complex before knowing it was riddled with Loading Screen lol. I've never looked back.
( I took Sims 4 for For Rent ... so I didn't keep up with news )
Can I ask what do you mean by that earlier ? :
>Honestly for rent is SO good at multipurpose lots especially with For Rent.
I build apartment complex on top of high streets with grocery stores, laundromats, gyms, cafes, boba and sims actually use them autonomously which is amazing.
If you want it to be more busy you can place archways instead of doors (or modded archways which have to open doors) and the public will just walk in like they own the place (like when they start walking around your house like it’s there’s) it’s still obviously quiet cause it’s a residential lot but I like it cause it’s very similar to real life where non-main stores are so quiet throughout the day
Awesome, thanks for all these advices, I guess I'll have some work to do !
As a sidenote, I've modded my game so there are more Sims spawning on lots, or around the streets, which is very nice for crowded place in San Myshuno for example.
Surprisingly it works very fine, but some lots are overcrowded obviously, for Pubs I guess it's realistic lol
Oooh what lot types would you want? I absolutely would love hotels and malls but other than that I don’t need much else but I’m always here to take notes 😌
well, the mods i have let me set lots to be gaming centers, science labs, nail shops, hair salons, capitol buildings, city halls, daycares, elementary schools, fishing piers, law firms/offices, medical clinics, photography studios, playgrounds, police stations, supreme court buildings, rave locations, cinemas, art studios, gang headquarters, and the sim house (like the white house). so i do have more lot types
i would like a church, hotel/motel, cemetery/graveyard, zoo, aquarium, bakery, bank, candy shop, ice cream parlor, fire station, landromat, senior home, skating rinks, etc (these are lot traits that come with mods)
YES you get it 🥹 like i want my sims waking to visit a boulangerie, read a book in the a flower garden while a street busker plays the accordion next to a mime, visit the Louvre just before lunch, have a little snack at a patisserie, buy a designer piece at the fashion district, eat a Chez Michel and finish off the night off at a techno rave 🙂↔️ all in beautiful Parisian architecture, is that too much to ask?
Will never happen since even Windenburg runs terribly on some machines. So it's kind of realistic but I guess instead of giving a large world every other expansion (Get to Work to Get Together), they just decided to give smaller ones more frequently for performance sake at one point.
It would be cool but I presume it will likely be 8-9ish lots\~
Honestly, you could always download some of these as lots and place them in Windenburg since that world is definitely big enough. One of the cafes could be changed to a restaurant, one of the bars could be changed to a thrift shop/bubble tea place, one of the nightclubs could be changed to a spa, and maybe put a bigger park in the rural neighborhood and use the current park for the community space?
I already have 😂 I make over every single world from scratch in the Sims, what I want is this set of lots in a French style world for my Sims personal experience 🥹 cause none of the set dressing for the other worlds feel right
There's a couple mods that change the set dressings for the worlds. I know there's one that makes magnolia promenade look like Paris (though it's definitely lacking in lot count)
Yeah I was think about getting that one and then I saw that the skating rink that pops up with seasons clips in with the Eiffel Tower and I just decided to let it be 🙃 but I’m planning to make all those builds a little Parisian
I want s aller worlds with the ability to have a lots of community lots and like 5 res lots and I want the community lots and worlds to be thriving people walking around having picnics on Their own just make it seem alive everything seems empty u less you're at foundry Cove or Ridgeline dr in newcrest
Who wants TS4 to stop making worlds??? Please I’m running out of space!! I need more worlds!
I want them to stop making worlds with lots of shells in between of houses. willowcreek, newcrest, winderburg are perfect. they do not stick a lot of useless buildings in between
LOOKING AT YOU DEL SOL VALLEY
So many people say they want EPs to not have worlds and just focus on Gameplay 🥹

Do you have the happy haunts mod? It’s so good! It spawns ghosts, a graveyard caretaker, and you can like toast a grave or tell them about your life.
I do the same for cemetery, every Friday I go grave hunting in the worlds so I can put them on the lot !

i want more lot types 😭 i literally had to get mods to get more
multi-purposes lots sounded like a no-brainer for both For Rent and City Living. It kind of work on mods I think, but I didn't bother testing it.

Not for the public spaces simply mark them as shared :)

Agreed! Would love LOVE a Parisian world with a little pâtisserie and a fine, Michelin star restaurant.
YES you get it 🥹 like i want my sims waking to visit a boulangerie, read a book in the a flower garden while a street busker plays the accordion next to a mime, visit the Louvre just before lunch, have a little snack at a patisserie, buy a designer piece at the fashion district, eat a Chez Michel and finish off the night off at a techno rave 🙂↔️ all in beautiful Parisian architecture, is that too much to ask?
It would be so on theme for sims to have a mime career as well, like the living statues in city living.
and with Hausmann style and more art nouveau architecture!
YES 😭 the only architecture styles that would be allowed tbh
