omg only 15 lots?? even less than the others 2 cities???, the others had 21 and that just 15 and 3 hoods of 5 places???? omg really less is more in sims 4, this is really a ridiculous joke, while peoples are asking for big towns the answer are chibi ones.
It's free. Call it a world, city, neighborhood whatever it's desperately (imo) needed expansion space. It doesn't fix every problem that everyone has with S3 at all but it's a nice gesture and I see no reason to complain about it specifically. I will still occasionally complain about other missing facets but not a free addition.
I won't look a gift horse in the mouth..but if it's a different 'world' like Oasis Springs then why didn't we get new décor? I'm already sick of looking at Willow Creek and Oasis Springs.
I really would like to see the extension of Willow Creek for one thing down the street, you know, and if a new world then a whole new theme. If I can't alter the themes then good grief give me something new to look at. A year in the same hole gets old.

This is exactly what I have been wanting to get. Sure, I want another vacation beach pack, but right now, the space to put up more of my own homes and places to go, and shops is exactly the right medicine.
It's nice for those of you who like the game as is. I'm just fed up of waiting for better for the way I enjoy playing. Broken hearted doesn't even begin to describe it.
That is awesome news!!!
If I'm being picky I'd say it could look a bit different, it's like Willow Creek or Magnolia Promenade.
But hey! 15 EMPTY lots!!!!
Origin ID is: AlbaWaterhouse
All my creations are CC free.
I see two lots and the rest fake décor. Where's the lots players can use and edit? And what more public space parks we can't edit? No thanks, a world to me is over 100 lots I can build upon.
This is a neighborhood not world, so we should be excited for 15 lots.
OP title should say neighborhood, not world.
Can someone draw on the usable lots because I'm not seeing them. It's easy to see the fake décor because all fake décor in these pictures show fake houses with the window lights on...fake...and what I am seeing is a lot of 'public space' which can't be edited....yet.
Did you watch the video? They plop houses down one by one so you can see the lots.
Nope, not seen anything but what has been posted here. I don't visit SimsVip since she told me off at the last E3 posting or something. And I assume she is glad I don't. Never insulted her but says I did so whatever, never even mentioned her before that day when she decided to pick me out of a thousand people. lol.

So I'm assuming those houses are coming with it. I still don't see a beach.
I would assume so. It's empty lots, which are sorely needed. I doubt they did too much to create this, and that's okay in this case since it's free and does give us new lots to build out of. Do I wish it were more, yes of course and it definitely won't fix all the things wrong with the game (IMO) but one of the complaints I had was lack of space. And this helps to solve that somewhat, and it's free. Did I mention it's free - you're not losing any more money than you've already paid?
I don't see it as 'free' per se, we paid $60-$80 for 50 or less lots in the base game. I would say thanks, it's about time.
I completely understand what you're saying and I don't disagree, but I do think this being at no additional cost to us is better than the alternative of it costing something. Surely that's something we can all agree on? And yes, it is about time, and no, it won't fix all the other problems the game has. I do wish it were a lot bigger. But when something is free I don't expect a lot of work to be put into it, sadly, that's just the nature of offering freebies in business.
at any rate, not all the above is directed at you. Just the first part in response to your response. we have paid for an expensive game and haven't gotten a lot back for it. I'm just thinking the about time (as you have put it very well) is better than alternatives of costing us extra.
It's kind of sad that I have to point out that anything I say is only just my opinion and may be a different one from someone else.
It's nice for those of you who like the game as is. I'm just fed up of waiting for better for the way I enjoy playing. Broken hearted doesn't even begin to describe it.
I agree, but at least somebody screaming at them has accomplished 'something' so I think we should all thank the 'complainers and the haters' of the TS4 for getting them some more lots in the game for free. Don't mind me, I'm practicing my mischievous skills.

It's not like you're paying for it. If you don't want the extra 15 lots, don't use them.

I'm sorry about the run-in with SimVIP. The links are to the official Sims blog though, not SimVIP. Safe to watch, if you want.
Either it's shameful content ea should be apologizing for or it's so good that we should be thanking the complainers for getting it for us. Which is it? You can't have it both ways.
I think I'd rather thank ea for it and be happy for those who wanted it.

I agree with you, if we all just sat around and took whatever was given to us, we would have never gotten pools or ghosts and EA could very much do whatever their greedy minds could come up with. We don't complain for nothing, we complain to fix a game that we feel lacks alot and because we expect more for the amount we pay for this game.
If you think Magnolia promenade and this new town belong in willow creek, think of it in this way. We now have 9 hoods = around 40 lots
Sunset Valley had 92 lots.. but I'm not complaining. I refuse to be called a whiny, ungrateful little 🐸🐸🐸🐸 again.
I guess it's good enough for its price (nothing).
But you also had places where you could 'squeeze' in more lots once we were allowed to add our own. But still 92 was more than enough to 'start' wasn't it? I don't know 25 or less in one world is so limited since they are broken up and it breaks the immersion because you can't look in the distance from your Sim's house and see the Goth house etc. like in the other games. It just breaks it totally for me, even the TS2 I can at least set the 'view' to large and see their house down the street. I think it also is because when we are in these tiny 'hoods' three or five houses we can't see the rest of the game. It really takes a lot of imagination to pretend we do. lol
ETA: I think for me and the inability to see the whole world like in TS2 and TS3, it's like this, I'm not my Sim, I am their god so I would and should be able to see the Goth house a few blocks over.

I'm thanking EA for working towards fixing this issue with the game. I don't want to complain about something coming to us at no additional cost, because I'm afraid if we do we won't get anything at no additional cost in the future.
Edit: on the other hand I will continue to describe what lots we got with GTW as shamefully embarrassing because I did have to pay extra for it.
It's kind of sad that I have to point out that anything I say is only just my opinion and may be a different one from someone else.
@edwardianed I was about to say the exact same thing! xD
I was expecting bigger lots or one HUGE neighbourhood or something. I'm glad that we get a completely empty world to mess with, but I was expecting a large lot for a park, or for a mansion!
When you said "hoods" I pictured lots at first and started to laugh.
Thanks for the info Billy, gonna check it out.
Edit: not to be ungratful but it looks more like a neighborhood of Willow Creek and less like a new world. At least theres more lot space though.
Willow Creek is a world, divided into several neighborhoods. At least that's the official terminology.
Willow Creek is a big painting divided into a few small maps. They aren't connected in any way.
Gosh even MMO's are far more advanced.
Sims 4 has no worlds, they have maps and pictures.
That doesn't matter to the original post. A world is what EA is calling a world. Newcrest is definitly smaller than Willow Creek since there's no park. The post I replied to seemed to be confused about how EA defines world vs neighborhood.
And yes, MMOs are more advanced. They have different types of engines and are designed to accommodate thousands of players at once with large servers. You're talking apples and oranges there. They aren't at all alike.

Wouldn't it have been lovely if they had allowed 'us' to revamp WC like they did and let us 'add' an extension like they seem to be doing.
