World : Premade or empty district ?

Hi,

The Sims 2 gave the choice between premade neighborhoods and empty neighborhoods.

In TS4, someone released empty version of Willow Creek and Oasis Springs.


What do you prefer ? Get a premade district and ready to play ? Or get a new virgin landscape (I mean without built-up terrain) where you build what you want?


I prefer to customize an empty district because it's my own and unique world.

I don't talk about Create A World because it's too difficult to create a place from the beginning. I tried in TS2 and TS3 but I failed.
At least, I need a base landscape/theme.

    I don't mind either. I bulldozed everything in both worlds for one build save anyways so I could build to suit. It depends on what I am playing. Tbh, the in game set up is not my idea of how I want my world so I make my own. And the in game sims are not what I want, so they get the boot too.

    I guess that's what you call a bit of sandbox.

    The problem is I think it's a waste of time for Maxis to build everything if we always use the bulldozer.

    I did the same. I saved a set of blank bulldozed worlds and used a copy as a build world. I have a version with all the buildings, but no sims, and yet another with EA vanilla towns and households as I normally play with mods in.

    That's true. We don't need a library, museum, gym, etc in every world. In the next world, give us 4 NEW community lots.

    Yeah, I think I'm going to make Willow Creek museum into a museum (old things), Oasis Spring museum into a modern art gallery (museum), add a pool to one of the gyms, and bulldoze the other to make room for a 3rd museum, this time a Science Museum/Observatory/Lab for the telescope, microscope, chemistry set and maybe a built rocket (if I can use it on community lots).

    I feel like Sims 4 is lacking in character as in Sims 3. It was more realistic in Sims 3 than it is in Sims 4. I feel like the only thing new with Sims 4 is the graphics and aspirations. They took away everything that made the worlds. The communities made the world. Riding bikes and cars made the worlds. It seemed more realistic. Sims 4 is just flat. It's nothing. All you do is build houses with your Sims. Theirs no character in Sims 4 just new graphics and animation.
