    I've sort of done that.

    I try to play the other worlds I have, but I always wind up back in Twinbrook. :lol:

    I got monte vista on sale to , so far I am still playing in it, this world runs very smoothly with seasons and island paradise in, but normally I buy worlds and then go back to my orginal which is normally riverview.

    I have not bought roaring heights because its more city like and I know I would return to a country type world I did buy the roller coaster separate, I don't like bridge port but I do use late night clubs in my game, this is first time I have stuck with a store world so long, but monte vista, fits clubs and also the resort from island paradise fits in nicely, kinda looks more monte vista resort with the same colour roofs.

    i have that issue with most worlds besides the evansdale county and anne arbour by sim reality that i use for my generations. so now i use traveller by nraas and send them to the other worlds as a vacation instead of a move. Its helps a lot since it a new place to visit but doesnt involve the whole packing and moving.

    I do it as well. I have everything but Lunar Lakes, I play for a sim week or so and still end up back in sunset valley. Though Lucky Palms is second on my list. When I start a new game I always end up starting in sunset valley. :D

    I only have one of the Store Worlds, Lunar Lakes. I find it way too small for my needs. I always end up in Sunset Valley [Seasons Second Edition] by Lynx. He's made some innovative changes that really opens the town up. And, he's added a few venues from LN and ST, so that I only have to add a few more. There's also room for some of my home lots.

    I actually had planned to download SV second edition, but I've had to uninstall some of my EP's so that my game will run smoother until I get a new PC, so a lot of the worlds that have been made require the EP's I uninstalled. Of course since one of the EP's I uninstalled is Showtime, I don't need as many empty lots! Lol.

    I've just always LOVED sunset valley. Don't get me wrong, I like my other worlds, but SV has always just had a hold on my heart. I guess perhaps because it was the first sims 3 town and I was so amazed by the open town and other new things to TS3 after playing TS2!

    I usually do that when I first download a town, or I'll go in and fix up some of the premade families and redecorate some of their houses. Then I miss my current families, so I go back to them. But then I get tired of them after a while so I go to the new neighborhood. LOL :) That's one thing I love about having so many different neighborhoods: each one sort of feels like a completely different game, so I'm never bored!

    I do that all the time. I brought Monte Vista too and I promise myself I would buy it with my own money from my paycheck. Brought it, looked at it, and went right back to what I was doing in another world. Haven't played it not one bit really. lol

    I might go back to it once I get bored with Midnight Hollow. That world seems to be the only store brought world keeping my interest right now.

    I always seem to gravitate back to some form of SV also. I guess it's because I really like the townies there. I've been playing them so long they seem like old friends. :lol:

    Yep, I tried playing many towns but I always end up in Appaloosa Plains. The other towns are just laggy, I'm planning to give Riverwiev a try if it's not laggy.

    I recently bought Hidden Springs because I needed a change. Only played a couple of sim weeks in that town and my sim was busy the whole time with her garden. I'll make my way back there one day. :P

    Yep, I try new things and sets and towns but I normally gravitate back to what's most familiar. And for me that's Sunset Valley. :)

    The town I pick for a game save depends on the family and what the goals (if any) are. I haven't been back to Monte Vista for a while, since Seasons came out; maybe I"ll start a new game there since I can have more garden plants by adding in the herbs from Uni Life and the orange trees from Grandpa's Grove. (I did a major remodel of the Lavender House from Champs le Sims that made it perfect for Monte Vista.)

    My current game is in Sunset Valley (Second Edition) -- I felt it the best setting for the Prism Art Studio. I might take a look at Champs le Sims and see if there are any buildings that I could repurpose into an art studio and move to Monte Vista. My favorite town/world is Hidden Springs, especially after I do major remodeling; I keep a copy of the remodeled town in a separate folder on my computer and move it to the Saves file whenever I want to start a game there. I do that with several other worlds like my current Sunset Valley (Second Edition), Roaring Heights, Lucky Palms, etc. I want to try a remake of Barnacle Bay to see if I can make it more usable as my next project.

    I must be weird. I don't play worlds exactly. If my save gets too laggy, I'll save my family to the bin and move them to another world, but I rarely feel like I must play a certain place. Except Starlight Shores for Simporting. And I'll use Traveler to send Simmies to Isla Paradisio for vacations...

    I always end up back in Sunset Valley, IMO best world ever.

    I always revert to SV because of this very reason :mrgreen:
