I hope we get one soon as my worlds are all built up with only 3/4 houses left 
even if it's a small world with like 10 lots is better than nothing!!

fingers cross!! I think it would be pretty ridiculous if they didn't
I think it does. It will pay off BIG time when we are a few more EP's in. We're already over 100 lots in, and there's zero slowdown for every world added. I'm guessing we'll have around 300 - 400 lots by the end of it all, and that will be more than enough.
And there will be zero slowdown.
Even some of the bigger EA world have performance issues compared to smaller ones. When you play a small world in 3, then go back to a normal sized one, you notice the difference in performance straight away.
I do think that the worlds would feel instantly so much bigger if they opened the hoods.

Or made the neighbourhoods bigger so it doesn't feel like your playing inside a fishbowl. More worlds with big neighbourhoods like Windenburg would be fantastic.
I would hardly say that there's been zero slowdown. I've seen a lot of complaints for how badly the city world plays for some players. Do you advertise that based on your own experience? Because that truly, is not a truthful statement across the board, and falsely promoting the idea that we will have up to 400 lots with zero impact on performance guaranteed is very naive. As with all Sims games the more stuff piled on top the slower the game eventually gets, it's the way it works.
I like to build stuff
Really? I play on a toaster, set the game to low graphics and San Myshuno runs fine. I dunno. Maybe just me.
San myshuno lags soooo bad!! And I totally agree with what you're saying.
Also I have slow down. And your statements are some what untrue.
It's hard to tell if you're being serious here. I own both a desktop and a 2015 MBP. Both play the game very differently, with the MacBook experiencing more time distortion, and simulation lag while playing in San Muyshuno. My desktop has similar issues, but they aren't necessarily worse in the city world on that machine. My desktop is more than capable of running the game on ultra settings, which means the time distortion and overall lag (usually at 8am, and when exiting a pool) is an issue in the game, not with my machine. The MBP has less processing power, and it shows when I play.
You keep saying you play on a toaster. I find it hard to believe your game runs flawlessly if my MBP and desktop (the latter is way over the recommended specs) both see time distortion, and lag. (MBP's issues are amplified in SM) I'm sure there's plenty of factors that contribute, I don't know the specifics of your game and I really don't need to. To a degree perception is also a contributor - if you don't perceive any problems they may not seem obvious, especially if someone's problem is how your game has always played it's going to seem normal. At the end of the day I did say "some players" in my original post which excludes those players who don't identify those issues in their game.

Yeah, same for me
Very well could be. My save is 3 years old (on the desktop) so it's not necessarily surprising to see some gameplay slowdown. In addition to it being 3 years old I have created every household and played through several generations in most of them (rotationally so played households don't age without my instruction). The freezing that occurs in specific situations can be linked to the game, and time distortion is a well documented issue affecting a lot of players.
For my MBP the save is relatively new, only one household living in the city. The slowdown and time distortion aren't constant things, but they are much more frequent while playing in SM than Oasis Springs or Newcrest for example. That has everything to do with the machine, which amplifies issues the game otherwise faces in certain situations.
Maybe they can bring out a fuller pack then.
But it's still a good game, and I'm still enjoying it. I just hope they'll consider at least adding a greater number of empty lots per world.
EP Worlds only have 1 or 2 empty lots to place on though.
