I know! I really find it hard to use Oasis springs, I just can't place Oasis Springs in relation to the other worlds very well. I try to have at least one of each necessary community lot (library, museum, gym, etc.) in each group of worlds that are nearby/close enough to travel for those things. Newcrest and Willow Creek are easily suburbs of San Myshuno (with Magnolia Promenade as a nearby retail park), Windenburg is big enough for a small city by itself (enough lots for everything), Brindleton Bay is supposed to be rural so it's ok if it doesn't quite have everything (makes sense to have to travel to a city for a museum, etc.). But Oasis Springs is a problem for me - it just doesn't fit in so well with the other worlds, it seems like it would be located so far away. I know sims can move around wherever, but I like to make it somewhat location-based. An Oasis Springs style Newcrest would even help, just for more lots in the spread out desert. I do struggle with how to use Oasis Springs a lot.

Ahh yes! in my game i made oasis springs a vegas style district and used zebrus mod to make it a vacation world

This is so amazing! I don't really like how small this world is and how it looked, so this update was desperately needed. This is definitely inspiring me to rebuild all four lots sometime! I think having an overall theme like this is an awesome idea.

Nice! I recently changed mine too. I made a bowling alley in the big lot and a casual restaurant in the other so that my teens could have more hangout spots
And it gives me ideas. I don't really ever use Magnolia Promenade. But I would, if I did a bit of rebuilding.
@Atreya33 I think Magnolia Promenade and Forgotten Hollow are the best two worlds for redevelopment. It's the multiple hoods in the other worlds that make the task of redevelopment seem so daunting. I guess if you took one of the other worlds, one hood at a time, it might be a more manageable task.
Taking one hood at a time works well; you can choose a different style for each neighborhood (Victorian, Ranch-style, Mid-Century Modern, etc.) then build or find on the Gallery houses that match that style. At least that can give neighborhoods a bit of cohesiveness.

Hmmm -- if I move the bowling alley I have in Newcrest to Magnolia Promenade, that would make a great teen hangout; I could still keep my small Irish bar for maybe more of an adult/elder space.
