How do you deal with the small neighborhoods in TS4? I am trying to fill my neighborhood with Sims, but it seems as though there are not enough places to live. Is the neighborhood more customizable than I think and I just haven't figured it out yet? Am I just too stuck on TS3? :(

And rather than "being stuck" on TS3, it's more to do with the fact that after playing three games - including the very first - with large, spacious neighbourhoods, 4's sudden inclusion of sectioned off, small, claustrophobic maps is naturally going to feel very jarring.
I still don't understand why they did it.
> parias1126 what I do with the small towns I remove the gym, museum in one of the regions and change the lot type and use them as home for my sims
Not a bad idea, the museum is completely pointless anyway.
But there are two of those. You can remove one of each and still be fine.

I had no idea there were two of each. It's been so long since I origninally saw the worlds before I messed with them. The first thing I did when the game came out was delete everything and save it as a template. I've edited it with OR and GTW to make them empty as well. I start all my games on that save and then rename it to something else. Saves me the trouble of always having to delete everything.
I'm personally not holding my breath for that to mean very much. The days of custom neighborhood creation are pretty much out the door now that an overwhelming amount of the neighborhoods are deco. Hopefully they develop actual world's for future EP's. If $40 will get me one tiny neighborhood, then I can find better use of that money and I'll invest when it hits the clearance rack.
Honestly 6 months for next EP for more space is too long for an issue that was brought up at launch!
They should be dealing with it and communicating now
TS4: Not enough places to live, but that's not a problem, the game deleted Sims for you...
Same here.
I'm not inclined to buy an EP if that's the only way I'm going to get a new world, especially considering that I'm really not impressed with GTW in general. At this point, I feel they should be patched in, and they should open it in a way that allows us to add copies of existing worlds to expand on our space. That's about all I really expect at this point, and I highly doubt it will happen.

It would have looked much better as another area in Willow Creek, but my guess is they couldn't get it to work. I really don't understand why they didn't make a whole new world, though. Ambitions came with Twinbrook. I think Sims 2 OFB came with a new world as well (not a Sims 2 player yet, but working on it ).
It is sad that it has come to that.
