Imagine the Sims were going to release a pack with ONE world that was historical. Which would you prefer?

I can see an era/ world working like that if it’s part of time-travel gameplay, but not as a destination world. Once unlocked my sims should be able to live in it. Otherwise Windenburg will do.
Personally, I'd prefer the late medieval era.
Also, your list is more than a bit american heavy, but lacks Asia and Australasia.
My second choice, after late medieval, would be Han Dynasty China.
And my third choice would be 1930's Australia.
There wasn't much in the way of 'non-civilized' areas in medieval Europe. Farms were small, but numerous, and even woodland areas were reasonably well inhabited.
That and technically my first Sims game was Sims Medieval.
I do think it would be really fun to do an offshoot world area though where they are limited (no phones especially) and can live there if they chose in an era in the past. Maybe they could travel to them in a time machine or be teleported there in a dream ect.
I'd rather build/buy be open though so we can tell our own stories of either living like or among the locals or ... trying to build something to get back to your life ect... story wise. I wouldn't be as interested though if it was just a destination world, but I guess it could be fun.
Because I can't; I keep all sigs turned off.

Something wicked this way comes!
I don't use MCCC.
spore?
I would want a world inspired by Renaissance era Italy or Tang Dynasty China.
Aesthetically, this should add lots to the Build Buy.
Conceptually, I think this could work well in some sort of tourism pack as some sort of new cultural activities/skills can be added (eg wine making, playing traditional musical instruments).

So I'm voting for my second favorite - Mid-Century. I'm not sure why there's gap in the vote between 40's and 70's. Actually I'm specifically interested in 50's-60's stuff ))) So I've assumed they belong to the option with 70's.
As for 70's I feel we've already had some of its vibes with recent SP. But there's always room for more and I wouldn't mind to see 80's specific content as well. That type of stuff in TS3 was hilarious.
Hold SHIFT while using the FRIEZE tool to apply it to a single wall, and not an entire room!

If you download one of my builds, by all means, leave me a message and tell me what you did and did not like about it.
They would, but I'd rather have them connect to my existing game. I think that if Sims Medieval was able to connect to Sims 3, I would have played Sims 3 more and enjoyed the gameplay of Medieval more. Having them be separate entities meant not as much customization in Medieval and too much linear questing. I love the concept of Sims Medieval but I didn't want the game to tell me how to play it, I wanted more freedom so I didn't stay engaged.
Yes, but Greek gods with their weird family tree would fit so well in the Sims. They had a God for everything and could appease them to get their help. And since they are immortal, they could totally fit in with the modern cell phone carrying sims.
well there could be some kind of crossover
also doesn't necessarily has to be like sims medieval with quests, it could be like the main sims games, just set on other times
oh man, the Hercules Disney movie made such a great job making people believe greek gods are innocent funny characters LOL
if we ever get greek mythology on the sims i'd stick to the disney version, please lol
